Seth cast a glance back toward the others hearing their words, but chose not to speak. He didn't have to explain himself, besides, even if he did Bret wasn't likely to remember by the time they got back to the pack. "Bret, how about you go get a deer to bring home?" he suggested.<br/>Bret grunted at the unsatisfactory answer. His attention settled on Seth for a moment. "You ain' the boss'a me." he grumbled. His disdain for Seth ever present.<br/>Seth let out a brief laugh before looking more to Bret with an amused grin. "I am sure Father will be thrilled you took off to chase Lizzie."<br/>Bret scowled, "She shouldn't be going off on her own." he said defensively.<br/>"Suit yourself." Seth chuckled, deciding to just drop it. What did he care if Bret's poor decisions got him in trouble.<br/><br/>Along their way home Seth took a short time to hunt down a deer. This gave Chad a chance to have a rest, since they had been walking for a few hours and it was now dark out. No light from the sky made it through to them, between rain clouds and the dense canopy. Thunder rolled in the distance.<br/><br/>Deer slung over his shoulders Seth lead the way to their den. There was a soft blueish glow from within the large cavern. Seth sighed heavily when Bret hurried ahead before they had even gotten close enough to see the glow.<br/>"Lizzie, could you take Chad to my den." Seth requested. He decided it'd be best to deal with things with his Father without Chad present.<br/><br/>Inside, the opening is damp with water flows from the rain, the ceiling emitting a soft glow, the opening is a long path that leads into a very open cavern. The ceiling vaults into the darkness out of reach of the soft fires burning, a seemingly infinite number of stalactites reach down from the darkness, casting the flickering fire light about in ways that almost gave the illusion of being under a strange water.<br/><br/>The walls of the massive cavern have been carved into an intricate but simple series of paths and homes. The open space made into a sort of courtyard with a few large fires. There were many people living here, as well as a large number of regular wolves.<br/><br/>When Seth moved into the courtyard most everyone's attention was on him. Welcoming him and checking out the deer he had. Making his way through the crowd was a large man, a man that made Bret seem small. He didn't look particularly happy to see Seth. Bret was close behind him looking somewhat smug.
