Since he was a pup, Lonebriar was fascinated with herbs. That's the way he earned his name, he was always off sniffing about among the brambles. He spent some time as a hunter, then as a scout, until one day he met a wise old bear and began his apprenticeship as an herbalist.
Though his first attempts were fumbling, he grew in understanding and learned all the medicines in his first few months as an herbalist. He settled in the hot springs near the dens, and soon he was curing wolves and dispensing advice.
After a time, a little silvery blue pup named Skywise came out to his hot springs, not for the steaming waters but for the tall rocks. He sat on the rocks and looked up at the stars and the three glowing moons and asked endless questions about what they were all named. Forced to think on his feet due to the pup's insistent questions, he named most of the stars and came up with many different constellations, as well as stories to go with them.
