Since becoming an adult in Inferni, Wraith had done a lot of thinking. She remembered when Chapel had tried to kill her and her siblings and how Kesho, Alma, and Hybrid had saved them. She thought about the conversation she'd had with her birth mother and how she'd been so upset that Aeron had abandoned her. She was still bitter about it, and although she thought she understood some of the reasons Aeron had left, she still didn't think it had been the right thing to do. But now that she was an adult -- a whopping seven months old -- she was starting to think about her future in Inferni. She knew that her father had been a warrior in the clan and also a sort-of scout for a bit. Her birth mother was a warrior, too. Valkyrie trained owls and Wraith was pretty sure she was a hunter in the clan. Her uncle Ezekiel was the leader of Inferni and a warrior, too, she believed. Sage, her friend, was gone and she didn't know what Sage had been. She had been nice, even if no one else thought so.
Right now though, Wraith just wanted some direction. She'd spent a lot of time looking for her dad, but couldn't find him. His scent had disappeared a while ago and Wraith knew that he had always loved Inferni too much to just disappear. Wraith hoped he was on some sort of secret warrior mission, but she was worried something worse had happened.
Without Hybrid and with Talitha gone, Wraith wanted to talk to Valkyrie. But before she could, she needed to clear her head. She had wandered through the weird old human houses in Bass River before she found a place to sit and think by the water. She liked the sound of the waves lapping against the shore despite the cold temperature. She thought that water was supposed to freeze in the winter, but the big expanse of water hadn't seemed to completely freeze just yet. Although she wasn't sitting on the sand, she got a chill from the cold air blowing across the water. She shivered and then stood up with the intention of returning to the crumbling ruins where she would have walls and houses to hide in.
