After a rather abrupt departure from Oak Tree Bend, Naira, Triell, Leotie, Reiko and Treyah made their way across the mountain and back to the heart of relic lore. While there they encountered Kerberos and Maera and the band came together to stake their claim on the Draw early in the new year. After a short while, they were joined by Zerxes, who Treyah encountered on a journey to the east.

An old injury came back to haunt Triell just before the latest pups were welcomed to the Draw (Lacey, Cannon, Lana and Suka), which caused him to step aside and allow Kerberos to fill the position for him. Unbeknownst to most, Naira was suffering from her own illness which only began to come to light with her sudden dismissal of loyal member Leotie with little reason given.

With Reiko unaccounted for, Treyah took a journey to the east and Zerxes took the opportunity her absence presented to take his leave. Upon her return, she clashed with her mother with the consequences yet to be seen. Things are heating up around the Draw and only time will tell if Naira will take another pack down with her or if they will prevail despite the adversity that surrounds them.
