This story is a sequel to A Thief's Tale: The Road to Redemption
A more detailed Rewrite of Lupa's Quest, including more dialogue, more interaction between the pack, and actual emotional tones that I noticed were largely absent from the original.
An homage to Warrior Series by Erin Hunter
Lupa finds that her destiny calls as she faces her own mortality. From her peaceful life she treks across Equestria, from the Everfree to the Place-Where-Moon-Meets-Equus. Accompanied by trusted friends and a couple of unlikely taggers-on, the latest Wolfmother seeks to claim her fate as a member of her species proudest bloodline.
[This is canon to A Thief's Tale, but will likely not be referenced in the main story. Just a little explanation of where everyone's favorite Floofball is from Chapter Twenty-Seven to Chapter Thirty-Four. And rewriting this is kind of inspiring me to do a Noir Spin-off. We'll see]
