Iskata had spent much time along the old dirt road. She'd spent days in the old cottage cleaning out the dust and debre of time and what the woodland creatures had left as they'd tried to move in. The presence of the wolf in their mists made the other residence decide to pack up and move rather quickly, except for a small family of mice that resided in the wall. She wasn't bothered by the mice and often left them little tidbits of nuts and berries she found outside along the meadow's edge while hunting and preparing for the coming harder seasons. She enjoyed listening to the soft sounds of them scuttling about at night as she fell asleep, but she'd spent the last quarter moon healing from the attack she'd provoked from the coyote of Inferni.

Shaking her head sadly as she thought of the attack, how quickly she'd snapped at the creature, assuming that Gabriel had sent him off to see if she'd died yet. She should have known better, yet she was tired of their snooping around and need to be in the middle of everything where they weren't wanted. She knew that they always seemed to be sneaking around and acting totally innocent, but she had to have been right this time, Labyrinth Glen had been at peace with Inferni and there was no point in the creature even asking what happened, they had to have known. Fatin herself had explained to Iskata that they were safe from attack, while Fatin had shared a peace with Gabriel, Iskata's had been with Faolin, now there was no peace with Faolin gone and Fatin disappearing in the mists. She knew they would be in trouble if they stayed distant and didn't gather soon to save their own hides.

She'd walked outside of the cottage and stared off in the distance from her porch, the few cattle that she'd gathered, with the help of some advice from Firefly of all wolves, sat grazing across the dirt path in the fields of clover and hay. She smiled a silly litlte smile at the idea of having dinner at the doorstep, yet she knew they weren't to be eaten whenever they felt like it, the herds would only be taken from in the hard season when prey was scarce. She'd worried about having to keep the other packs and the clan from them as well, but she'd been thinking about the ranks and developings of the pack they would form and how everything would work out. She had gathered enough skills to show some of the others how to gather and herd the cattle, and she had plans to add sheep soon enough, though she hadn't got that far yet. She was determined and soon enough she'd have the makings of a fine set of lifestock for them to live off of.

Sitting down on the porch swing she sat rocking softly back and forth as she thought about the changes that were going to come about one day. Deuce and Magdalena had been stopping by a lot recently, though Iskata had kept herself hidden since she'd been attacked, she felt stupid to hide from her friend and daughter, but first Gabriel and now another. Who she was and the issues she already had with the clan were bad enough, she didn't want to bring it down on their pack as well. She wouldn't let it, that what she was determined to believe. Her own personal probelms wouldn't become those of her family and friends. She sighed and closed her eyes, trying to ignore the pain from the damage the damned hybrid had wrecked on her.
