She stood amongst the pines with hardly a soul to witness. While her plan to break off from Ashen had still been in the works, the petite wolf wasn't going to miss out on the chance. Amid the tragedy of Menagerie falling, it presented Celeste with the perfect opportunity to rise up and claim her place for a pack. As she shifted her weight back and forth to seek a comfortable standing position, Celeste glanced around the pines once more. Summer had broken through with light beaming down through sparse boughs as it warmed the chill that lingered throughout the rainy spring season. Morbid as it sounded, Celeste was glad the pack had fallen during the warmer months. If she was going to have to fight someone for the right to claim a pack, she definitely didn't want to do it when it was below freezing outside. Tilting her ivory chin up to the clear blue sky, she held her aquamarine eyes closed. Inhaling deeply, Celeste counted to three. To steady and prepare herself for the future that was about to unfold, she felt it in her chest that she was ready. Upon the silent count of three in her head, she released a howl louder than she had ever done before. Being the size that she was, it wasn't easy to call out as far as a dire could. Thankful for the echo of the open space around her, she watched birds scatter and a few rabbits dash off into the brush. Celeste called for the ones of Menagerie who had been displaced, the loners or others displeased in their packs to come, and the ones who also itched for their own spot of glory. She would face any who challenged her and she would welcome those who needed a home. While she did not know the strife of homelessness, she had the compassion to not judge those who sought shelter and safety. The woman would wait until she could wait no longer and then it would all be hers... ooc. celeste being given permission to leave ashen is here! |
