Mud joined the pack, starving. He was abandoned by his small pack of 'friends' and left to wonder the world. When he came across Poisoning Ivy and Mossy Rock, he asked if they belonged to a pack. Poisoning Ivy spoke first, saying she was the leader of their pack, the Shrouded Pack. Then she introduced Mossy Rock as the healer. He begged them to give him a home, but Poisoning Ivy refused. She said they "Do not accept weak runts." As the turned, Mud noticed Mossy Rock's limp. She was getting old and they would need a new healer. Luckily, he had experience.
"Wait!" He called
Thankfully they stopped, giving him a chance to speak.
"I have experience healing wolves, please, let me join."
Poisoning Ivy was about to speak, likely to reject him once again, but Mossy Rock cut her off. Poisoning Ivy clearly wasn't pleased with that as she gave the healer a glare as they turned to whisper to each other. After their quiet conversation, Poisoning Ivy shifted her attention to him and, with a sigh, let him join.
After Mossy Rock died, the clan mourned for the night. In the morning, Mud was the new healer and already with an injury to treat. Shine had gotten hurt while hunting and it was time to prove his worth.
