indent Several things had happened in the past few days. What was left of Inferni had gathered on the other side of the mountain, including his brother, who had come like a ghost from the flame. He had explained they would rebuild, and left Faolin in charge while he went to scout potential territories. As long as everyone remained together, regardless of whether they went to find food or such, they would be safe. He warned them of the wolves and that they would have changed—they had nothing left to lose. Neither, he thought darkly, did they.
indent He kept a direct path along the plains, moving with the ease of a traveler used to these conditions. It reminded him of the west, in truth. Trotting along he might have resembled a lost dog more closely then a wolf or coyote, but the tall grass here was safe enough. Turning towards the rise, the hybrid soon found the tall grass gave way to a rocky area with shorter grass. Several towering boulders stuck out from the earth and Gabriel scaled one of these without much effort. Up here, the territories were visible from all around. It was no surprise to see there was a sandy bay to the west, which pleased him. He leapt from the boulder and followed the rocky face of the would-be wall, finding that several caves were hidden among the face. These he did not deeply explore, though they smelled only of old stone, meaning they were abandoned.
indent Turning back, Gabriel made his way down the hill, confident that this place would serve Inferni well.
