Ilana and the dire wolf

Added 2020-08-23 11:42:30 +0000 UTC

The tavern had many enemies, but even more friends, and allies. Once you became a part the tavern you become part of a family. And family always watched out for another. But sometimes even the Mistress saw the signs of impending doom too late. The dire wolf mother had been with the tavern for decades, and her offspring were renowned for their ability to serve, protect and scout. But for them to grow strong, they had to be raised in the harsh wilderness. The Mistress feared that something wicked might have befallen the mother, as she had not been seen for many weeks. Ilana and Euryale volunteered, and went forth to look for her. They found the mother being attacked by cultists, desperately trying to protecting her cubs. Euryale managed to drive the cultists off, but sadly the help came to late. The wolf mother's wounds were too grave, and in her final breath she begged Ilana to take care of her litter. Ilana agreed without hesitation, promising her, from one mother to the other, to raise the cubs as if they were her own.
