Zayle draped his cloak over her, and bowed to the wolf before leaving. On the way back he and Kikora argued some, before finally he gave in. Over the next week several Elves scouted just beyond the Wolf's land, placing barriers to keep out humans, until the final day of the week.
Kikora took in a deep breath. She had tried to mentally prepare for this, but she still shook slightly as she walked into the forest. Many elves looked at her leave with pity, but she tried to ignore it. She wore a forest green dress that clung close to her skin, ending just above her knees, and a long black cloak that she pulled in close to keep out the chill.
She entered the Wolf's land and paused, hesitated before she turned in the direction of his cage, and moved forward, stiffly.
