SwiftNewt padded back to the den with a sorrowful expression. It wouldn't be fun to tell SacredMoon that she'd be unsuccessful for the 10th time. "So, how'd your scouting mission go?" The leader's voice spoke up behind her. SwiftMewt wasn't expecting her to sound so enthusiastic or hopeful. "Well....." SacredMoon pinned her ears and lowered her head. "I don't mean for you to take this the wrong but... PineStep is going to be retiring soon and we need to have scouts who can explore the farlands. Giving your position to a fresher scout would allow them to work with PineStep until they are able to explore the farlands." "Yes, of course..." Before SacredMoon could continue, Fern leapt between the two wolves. "So, is the position cleared? Can I be a scout now?" SwiftNewt tried not to show her pain infront of the two wolves. "Yes! You will go on your first scouting mission tomorrow! For now, go soak up all the information you can from PineStep!" SacredMoon responded to the excited young wolf. SwiftNewt gave them a nod before padding away.
