Despite Alyssum’s rejection, Antebellum was dead set on at least following her when she set out of Casa di Cavalieri that day if her friend chose not to ride her. The woman wanted the horse to stay in the stables or at least in the territory, since she’d do more hindering than helping her, but knowing that the mare would not listen to reason, just sighed and allowed it.

She had decided that morning that she would visit the Dampwoods, more precisely near Inferni’s territory. She would not call it spying—she was going to make sure she would not get too close to be considered stalking the borders, personally knowing how the coyotes took to people sneaking about their perimeter, and more or less trying to see if she could catch somebody that she could talk to. While things have been relatively calm, she was beginning to worry and wonder over the most silliest of things, but they were bothering her so much that she wanted answers. The only reason she held off was because her fear of meeting someone that knew her.

The de Fonte knew that she left without explaining, better yet without a word, and could only blame the shame she felt when she was basically bested by that wolf who trespassed on the borders. They did not know that she left with the intention of coming back as a better fighter, and she doubted that she would ever return to them after all this time. While Alyssum knew she was barely a thought to Inferni, if she met someone she knew, they would surely remember how she left them. She thought of Halo, and shuttered at the thought of crossing her; if the woman was angered when she had tried to avoid her in the Mansion that day so long ago, she could only dream of what she would do if she caught a former member that disappeared without a trace.

But, she had come to the conclusion that she needed answers, and told Macbeth to report back to her when he spotted a coyote that was outside of their territory. It was a short journey north until she could scent the clan nearby, and began to wander around the forest, simply walking around with her horse following a few yards behind. She heard the magpie swoop down once more, and paused as he nestled onto her shoulder to tell her the same thing. “See nothing but wolves on sticks. Dead as ever.” Alyssum sighed and decided to take a break from walking, and sat down under a tree, while Antebellum took this as a chance to eat a few yards away. This seemed like it was going to be a long day.
