Marta had been entering the dream alone. In reality, neither Ricky nor Elyse could do anything about it. The thirteen year old girl was growing though, and ever since talking with Hayden, she had been headstrong. Elyse had been worried, but Marta knew the dangers of the dream, and at the very least always went with Splash; however, it made it so Elyse would have to become more familiar with the dream. The girl was quickly outpacing her.
Elyse entered the dream and headed to the woods outside of Moscow. A familiar scent came to her before she saw the message from the wolf. She smiled as she got the greeting from Stinging Nose. Silent Fang...
Elyse turned to see her former wolf companion approach. Stinging Nose had felt a higher calling and was now alpha of one of the packs surrounding Moscow, but in the dream, he greeted her alone. More images came to her mind. Images of Marta and Splash, running through the woods, following each other. No not following - chasing. Marta had learned how to move quickly in the dream by following Splash's scent. It was an amazing trick. One that Elyse had not mastered. The girl was half her age and was picking this stuff up quickly.
"Is Windsong in the Dream?" Elyse asked Stinging Nose.
Stinging Nose's response was negative. Elyse nodded. It meant nothing to the wolf, but it was a habit from when she was with people. Marta wasn't here, so it would give Elyse sometime to catch up. She assumed that was why Stinging Nose had come. She had assumed correctly. Stinging Nose disappeared from her sight with a flash. Elyse knew how this game worked though. Elyse sniffed the air, finding the familiar scent of Stinging Nose. She followed and upon arrival, the wolf left. Elyse followed again, each time, Stinging Nose leaving faster until when she arrived he was no longer there. Still she followed, able to follow Stinging Nose's scent to the next spot - always heading southwest.
