Surprisingly, he had yet to travel here. Since he had first come to Bleeding Souls, Pilot had tried to explore much of the expansive area as possible. There were still a few places he had yet to come across, but he was bound to come up on all of them sooner or later. Today, though, had been his first adventure up to Acheron Peak.
He had just come across a familiar face only a few minutes ago, and now the temporary alpha of Storm wore a smile plastered across his lips. It was a meeting that happened by chance, and Pilot was glad he had decided to wander outside of Storm today.
Aiden, Pilot’s sort of surrogate brother, had gone out in search for the wolf about a month or so ago. He wasn’t sure how long it had been since he left home, but he had the hopes of somehow coming across his brother. It seemed that today had been his lucky day. The two walked (well, Aiden sat perched on Pilot’s head) further up towards the peak, chatting with one another about things passed.
Pilot learned that his mother had grown much older (females lived only an average of 4-6 years) and already she was five. Aiden had already grown to be two years old. Even he, who was still considered to be a young adult, probably didn’t have a guarantee of much longer. It was a sad thing, the lives of squirrels, but Pilot was older now and understood what his brother was telling him. “She wanted me to tell you that she loves you, and she was proud of you for going out on your own like you did. She was worried at first when you didn’t come back, but then she realized that it was probably a good sign that you were making it on your own.” Pilot, completely amazed that he had run into his brother, could only smile with thoughts of his mother, as he continued their ascent towards the peak.
