Firelight Cave
A smaller cavern, off to the side, this cave is nearly blanketed with nesting material, soft plant matter and scraps of fur and feather. This is the nursery, and the place that the pack's younger members stay, puppies too young for the main pack floor and their mothers, along with those who find the hustle and bustle of the main cave to be offputting. Diorite overlooks this cave, protecting those who remain within, and it frequently houses passersby, those dropping by for only a handful of nights.Under the watchful eye of its protector, the pack holds no fear of outsiders harming their pups - for if they were to try, Diorite would rip them to shreds with strength that her feeble form should not possess. The pack rests easily with her, Diorite's uncanny ability to know when a wolf is lying meaning she will see right through any manner of malicious deception. This place is safe, and though most would refuse to admit it, many of the pack's adolescents linger longer than they necessarily need to, basking in the company of Diorite and the handful of wolves who linger to learn a trade or two. Though less of a permanent residence than some may prefer, this place is safe.
Wolves kept here will be chased on adulthood, or trained and then sold, with the exception of the handful of secured residents. Please feel free to ask for one of the puppies here - they're free to anyone who asks nicely.
