She had heard of a human city not far from Cercatori d'Arte but Hotaru had never been there herself. She was told it lay to the north and was a small town known to the canines as Wolfville. It was an odd name for a coastal city and Hotaru couldn't help but wonder if that was its real name. It was possible that after the fall of humanity some wolves decided to rename the city and it just so happened to stick. The town was also supposed to be a great place to find things one might need, tools and such. It was for this reason that the blind wolf decided to travel to the human city, she wanted some new tools.


They day was still young when Hotaru and Faweks reached Wolfville. The large auburn bird flew in and out of the streets, enjoying the special wind patters that were created by the buildings that were still standing. If Hotaru was going to find anything she would have to rely heavily on Fawkes. Because the location was new, Hotaru carried her walking stick with her, the clanking of the wood against concrete resonating in the old city. On her shoulder was her satchel, empty for once in case Hotaru came across anything she liked.


Occasionally the blind wolf would wander up to a house and tap on its side while listening carefully to the sound that was created. Many of the buildings were not suitable for her to walk into and some even had glass littering the street in front of them. First she needed to find a place that was safe enough for her to enter. It was unfortunate that she was not small like Fawkes who had no trouble flying in and out of the buildings. There were many times when Hotaru could hear the birds wingbeats resonate from inside a building she was checking out. Once he even flew out with a chain, it's dangling links clinking as he flew.


Hotaru grabbed the chain as it was deposited at her feet. On one end of the chain was some sort of warn leather pouch. The grey wolf figured the hawk picked it up because the chain was shiny. Hotaru dropped the item into her pouch, but one end still stuck out. She didn't bother fixing it. If the stupid thing fell out than Fawkes could deal with it, it was his chain after all. Hotaru continued to walk down the streets while Fawkes flew high up above. As she walked the scent of a wolf filled her nostrils. She chose to ignore the stranger's presence and continued to walk down the street.
