The first light of dawn filtered through the trees, casting a soft glow over the camp as Marinetta and Harley prepared for the day ahead. The unsettling discovery of the ancient markings had set a new tone for their mission. With renewed urgency, they had decided to consult experts and delve deeper into the mystery that now loomed over their victory.
Marinetta sat with Aislinn and Roderick in the council tent, reviewing the plans for the day. The camp was alive with activity, as wolves bustled about, attending to their tasks and preparing for any potential threats.
"We need to gather as much information as we can about these markings," Marinetta said, her tone resolute. "Aislinn, can you work with the scholars from the Laufey pack? They might have insights into the runes and their origins."
Aislinn nodded. "I'll coordinate with them immediately. Their knowledge of ancient lore could prove invaluable."
