Éldi woke before the dawn, setting about breaking camp and preparing for the journey ahead. His paws crunched on the frost, mist billowing from his nose as he worked. Setting his belongings onto his travois, he gulped down some dried fish and turned his thoughts to prayer. He'd been wandering for weeks now but still hadn't found what he was looking for. Unsurprising as he didn't know for sure what the object of his future truly was.

However, he had had dreams of a waterfall. That seemed as good a place as any to start. Éldi continued working his way around the shoreline before starting to cut inland. Above him his raven, Askr, flew, keeping an eye out for signs. As for Kylar, the bobcat, well he hadn't see the cat this morning but had no doubt the feline would catch up with him. Humming to himself he carried on in his slow, methodical pace. Even at his advanced age he still moved with strong, sure steps and the confidence of one who had lived enough years. He now sought his fate, wherever it might lead.  Speaking of…

Éldi paused in his walk amongst the forest, hearing the roar of water in the distance. A waterfall? Askr landed above his head, swaying excitedly on the branch. "A waterfall! Not far from here, on pack lands." With that the raven sprang again into the air, taking off in the direction of his finding. Éldi took off swiftly after the bird. A pack? Was this where he was meant to go?

Moments later he stood at the border. In the distance he could see water spilling down the face of a large mountain. What had he to lose? Tipping back his head he howled for the leader of these lands to meet him.

Speech // thought

A half moment before Eltrys heard the canine call, his own hawk above him alerted him to a stranger at the border. The sound from the wolf carried something in it that, for some reason, gave Eltrys the idea that they were experienced. He told Saga to take a vacation as he stepped into this new role of his, and he was about to call the others to inform them officially of the changes he had in mind.

Eltrys looked up to the entrance of the den behind the falls, his lady love lay within, at the doorstep of death, and every moment he could he was by her side.

He padded purposefully toward the strangers call, not letting them wait. As he approached he could smell the elder and he was intrigued! Not many elders were typically loners where they?

"Greetings. This is the borders of my pack. I am Eltrys. Are you well?" He asked, wondering why the other earthen male had come and called him.
