Astra/History

This page contains all of Astra's appearances in the Abandoned series.

### Chapter 1

Astra is nervous on what her longpaw's punishment would be. She remembers last night, where she sneaked into the neighbor's backyard and bit the owner after she threatened Astra. After some waiting, Owner beckons her into a loudcage, where they land at an empty valley. Then Owner throws a nearby stick, making Astra chase it, and when she comes back, the loudcage already began driving away.

She gets sad, only to see a longpaw den in the distance. As she runs to it, another golden retriever, Dusk, stops her. They talk, with Astra explaining her abandonment, and gladly accepts Dusk's invite to join the Lone Pack. The two run towards the distant barn.

### Chapter 2

She and Dusk arrive at the barn, where Astra now lives, but she has to sleep in a hen house until she is considered trustworthy. Thistle has her to collect bedding. As she goes to do that, Astra encounters Fog, who gets hostile towards her. However, she explains her situation and is reluctantly allowed to pass. Astra enters the barn and marvels at the appearance before getting to work.

Later, she hears a howl from Thistle, who is gathering the dogs to his haybale. He makes Astra an official packmate. At the end of the ceremony, Astra goes to a hen house and falls asleep.

### Chapter 3

Astra looks around and recites the names of the Lone Pack dogs. She goes behind the barn to start a hunt, running into Fog and Dusk along the way. After Fog gives the orders, she heads right and waits for Fog's signal behind a bush. A ghost dog makes her move early, startling the rabbits and failing the hunt. Now sad, Astra goes to her hen house, only for Dusk to arrive and update her on where she sleeps. Astra picks the stable next to Dusk, and gets worried since Fog sleeps across from her. However, he ignores her.

### Chapter 5

Astra is mentioned by Sheep as he watches her, Dusk, and Talon wander around.

### Chapter 6

Astra, Dusk, and Talon make it out of the forest and reach the valley with the river. They go up the hill and are greeted by Fog, who demands to know where they've been. She looks at Dusk, unsure if she should say the truth or not, and is told yes by the other dog's nod. After explaining, Fog shows them to Thistle, who listens angrily. But before he can speak, Spots appears on the scene, saying that another pack wants to talk to the Alpha. Astra watches Thistle, Fog, and Primrose as they walk away, vanishing into the trees.

Once they're gone, Astra asks Dusk why they couldn't come. Talon explains that Fog is the defense, and Primrose is Thistle's mate, which Dusk argues against. Talon leaves, leading Dusk to ask Astra if she wants to come look for mice in the hay. Apparently, Thistle woke up with a mouse on his head last night. Astra agrees to go look.

### Chapter 17

Dusk thinks of Astra as she runs to get Talon. At the roads, Dusk and Talon search the trees in case Astra scratched it, and Talon finds the faint scent of Astra.

### Chapter 18

Talon asks Oliver where Astra is and gets confirmation that he's seen her. After Dusk and Oliver recognize each other, Talon hurries Oliver to bring them to Astra.

### Chapter 19

Talon shows concern about how Astra is in the alley. Later, Dusk inquires Sorrel on where Astra is, resulting in her appearance in a cloth den. It's revealed that she was hit by a loudcage before being brought to the alley.
