The next outpost they were planning on going to was on their border. Talia said the Baron Derek was going to suggest a hunt, more to show off Valentine's power to Kurt. Baron Derek was also at the first meeting with Layla so Kurt somewhat remembers the noble.
Their ride was a small wagon, with a few troops. Talia found herself in Kurt's arms on the ride. The problem was a bear den, or something like a bear on this side of the gate. Derek was sure his men could handle it. They had about two dozen, with another wagon in front of them.
They were entering a wooded area, with a path. They had some trees fell for lumber in the area. There was some wildlife, small animals that were similar to rabbits, but fur was different, their ears shorter.
"We really only have the one den that has a problem recently," said Derek, "usually the bears stay away just every once in a while you get a more aggressive family that moves in or grows to lead."
