Was nervous about being away from mom for his first journey north but with the help of his dad and sisters, he ended up enjoying himself along the way. He is awe of the glacier lands though they are much chillier than what he is used to. He loves the snow and thinks it's very fun! He was excited to meet his other siblings and is hoping his sister Rhea has her puppies while he's here so he can see them.

Made fast friends with an orphan pup named Baya!

Got to meet his new cousins and receive a special gift from dad before he heads back to the desert. He's sad to leave his new friend and the pack he also gets to call family but excited to see mom and his friends from the desert! He can't wait to tell them about tasting musk ox and caribou for the first time!

Tojo bounded ahead of Hestia when entering camp, barreling into his mother with his siblings far behind. After greeting her properly, Auri and him ran over to their friends, Arema and Xeno, and told them everything they could about their trip. If they embellished on how much fighting and hunting they technically did, well, it doesn't hurt anyone.

When they were assigned to follow along to Avalon's patrol, Arema's mother and technically an acting leader of the pack, Tojo found that he enjoyed playing the part of a finisher. A few blunders were okay when your job was brute strength.

One day Xeno pulled him aside and used his usual paw and body motions to indicate something was off with Arema. Tojo had felt like she was weird too, but figured it was just a product of them being older and having more responsibilities as apprentices now. He told Xeno not to worry, Arema was probably just stressed about her duties as the future heir.

When it was time to leave he felt the usual nervousness overtake him, but now that he knew where he was going it wasn't as bad. He bade farewell to the pack and his loved ones, and set off with Kona and his littermates back home.

Arriving back to Eska Creek was just as exciting as returning home for the first time! He immediately sought out Baya who had grown so much in their time apart. They stayed up most of the night catching up, with her other friend Magni. The three grew very close.

His training was taken over by the primary team in the pack. There was discussion on if the three of them would be sworn in the way hunters did here, but given the circumstances, it was decided they would be trained but not sent out on their own. Tojo was surprised to find that here, finisher's seemed to be leaders of their hunting parties which instantly made him nervous. But Artemis was quick to assure him the customs he was used to would not change. She taught him her ways - he quickly found her rather frightening - she was so harsh and straightforward. But she was a wealth of knowledge.

He found himself missing his father very much and wished he could speak to him.

After reaching a year old, Kona and Rhea offered to hunt with the triplets. Kona lead them into the Tundra where things might be a bit easier starting out and the young team took down a bull elk! Tojo was insanely proud of himself and all but pranced back to the pack. Artemis declared absolutely pride in his work as finisher and as a gift, fashioned a hunters cape out of his first kill.

He rushed to tell Baya, also deciding then to share his feelings of her, certain now she would find him a suitable mate with his flasher antler cape, only for her to rush to him first and tell him that she and Magni were officially bonded as mates. He tried hard to hide his disappointment- but he could not hide it from his sisters. Auri comforted him as best she could, while Hestia encouraged him to move on and look forward. He was a young, accomplished hunter and had a life of opportunity ahead of them.

Still his heart felt shattered and he chose to leave earlier than his sisters. They would catch up with him he was sure. He just couldn't handle the good byes right now.
