The sound of water drew her in, a prospective land in her mind. Her brain was working already, thinking of what was around this river. The caves... Whispering caves they called it. Perhaps a decent coupling of lands. One for the sake of hunting, and prey; for surely any creature needed water to live. The other? Shelter. Shelter from wind. From cold, snow, and rain. It was a perfect place, providing they brought bedding up to the place. The tiny female would look around her, breathing in. It seemed that the land was vacant... How convenient.
But who would follow her? That was another question in and of itself. Those who followed would need a strong leader to look up to. A leader for guidance. Was she strong enough? She liked to believe so. She liked to believe she had what it took to be an alpha. Then, someday, when she was no longer able to carry on it would be her son, Einarr, who would rise up and take her place. Hopefully with Zisa at his side, though it had been some time since she had last seen her wayward daughter.
Continuing along the waterline Akemi continued her search, deciding to take the path down a ways before going to inspect the caves.
