- • Lostholt Visits the Willowholt (B) — 2/9/99

- • Wildfoot and the Willowholt Cubs — 7/29/99
- Anxious for an opportunity to converse with the visitor to Willowholt, Wayfound discovers much to her disappointment that Wildfoot rather shares Midnight’s opinion on her conversational habits; Rillwhisper attempts to drop hints to Wildfoot and Midnight that she is not exactly pleased that her cub is getting mocked.

- • After the Flood — 12/13/99
- Hours after the flood that destroyed the Willowholt, a handful of the displaced Willowholters gather on a relatively dry stretch of land just south and east of the Holt, and receive aid from a number of different sources.
- • The Gliders to the Rescue — 12/13/99
- The Willowholt refugees gathered in the forest crossroads make a narrow escape from a second flood about to sweep the area — courtesy of the aid of Gliders, as well as long-gone Willowholters Simmel and Jasmael, sent from Blue Mountain.
- • A Chat With Aroree — 12/14/99
- Aroree attempts to chat with Wayfound, Rainfire, Jasmael and Calmwind, only to startle the Willowholters by the revelation that the local humans worship the Gliders as gods — and to provoke an argument between Rainfire and Wayfound as the cub resents Rainfire’s attempt to curb her curiosity about this strange new variety of Tall Ones.
- • Wayfound, Calmwind, and the Egg (Part 1) — 12/15/99
- Areelia expresses some curiosity about young Summit, and gives him a little tour of the Mountain — while Jasmael makes overtures towards Wayfound. Later, at Summit and Jasmael’s suggestion, Wayfound and Calmwind go to explore a surprise in the Mountain: the object known as Egg.
- • Wayfound, Calmwind, and the Egg (Part 2) — 12/16/99
- Once Calmwind finally rouses from his reverie at the Egg, he and Wayfound discuss what befell him, the nature of the Egg, the friendly humans in the Mountain of which they’ve heard rumors… and later, after they briefly meet up with Summit, Wayfound’s guilt and worry over being glad that Calmwind is with her even though half the tribe is missing.
- • The Rational Cub and the Mountain Lord — 12/20/99

- • Gestures of Diplomacy — 12/21/99
- Wayfound and Trollkiller learn from Ekana a bit of her history as a Wolfrider who has been magically altered by Winnowill, and from Haikari and Demell that the Gliders as a whole seem to be growing much friendlier — especially Demell, much to Trollkiller’s delight; later, Wayfound and Woodhawk have another encounter with Winnowill, on the way to the Egg.
- • Confrontations and Comfort — 12/29/99
- Tempers flare in the Mountain as Simmel, Midnight, and Brightstar come across Shadows in the Mountain’s catacombs — and Calmwind and Wayfound inadvertantly stumble across them all; as Wayfound learns from Malene that not all of the Gliders in the Mountain are of friendly disposition to Wolfriders, but that her tribesmate Midnight is actually capable of apologizing to her; and that Calmwind seems to require a brand-new name.
