The Hunt Begins
Aalen followed the tracks of the human soldiers through the forest. Along the way she began calling out:
“Vilja! Vilja! Where are you?” But there was no response, the only sound was the breeze sighing through the branches and usual forest life. Aalen wondered where Vilja had got to. He had accompanied her to the border, but then a short time later he ran off back into the forest. She hoped no harm had come to him. Aalen continued following the tracks. A sizeable army had come this way.
“Vilja!” she called out again. Where had her wolf got to?

This is another gap filler in Aalen’s saga. It lies between Burying the Dead and The Shoreline. There will be one more after this.

Somebody went to go play with the chew toys provided by the Baron. LOL
I can’t hear Vilja without thinking of the mod for Skyrim though. 😀

Yes, there’s a mod called Vilja. Two technically as the mod has expansion content for the Dragonborn DLC. It’s called Vilja. She’s a fully voiced companion character. 🙂

For me the name was inspired by a Magic the Gathering card. Tolsimir Wolfblood rides a wolf called Voja. I used the Scandinavian equivalent Vilja.
