save me from being confused, show me what i'm looking for The sooty yearling had wandered from her den once more. This time, however, she had not immediately struck out for the beach. Instead, she had found herself wandering towards the edge of her pack's lands. These borders were imposing things, marked strongly by her parents. Maverick had found the courage to pass them with ease, exploring the world without a thought for his siblings. And yet Kamala couldn't bring herself to chase after her brother. She was content in Seracia. The wolves who had inhabited it were friendly creatures, and she enjoyed spending time with them, observing them and listening to them. Her family members were the most interesting of all. Her spitfire mother, her regal father; her lonesome and sad brother and the outgoing and adventurous one as well. There was so much to see, so much to learn about just in Seracia's territory alone that she couldn't begin to understood how Maverick thought that he wanted to explore the outside world. Kamala wanted to wait, to wait until she fully understood the wolves of Seracia; their motives and their personalities. Why were they there? Why was she there? Sometimes, Kamala wondered that. What cruel twist of fate had saved her and her siblings but let her parents die? Why them? Kamala had nothing to offer the world. Nothing special, at least, nothing that a half-dozen other wolves in Seracia alone couldn't offer. Why them? It was a question worth considering, especially if Kamala took into consideration the half-remembered gods her parents had believed them. She didn't only vaguely remembered their names and their purposes even less than that, and she certainly didn't know if she believed in them. But if they did exist, and they did play a paw in her survival... The only question she really had was why. The female found herself standing at the heart of Seracia's territory as her thoughts trailed off, glancing around idly. Hmm. Her wandering path towards the edge of Seracia's territory had been turned on its head, it seemed, leaving her standing in her Kingdom's interior once more. She was no Maverick, it seemed. The female snorted wryly to herself at the thought, shaking her head slightly. She would probably just wait around here for a while, doing nothing but thinking. It seemed like a decent enough plan. |

The brunette woman had been attending to the usual alpha duties, spending the majority of the time busier than a bee. Everything had gotten so stressful over the past few days, hell she had even gotten into a spat with her own husband. The pups were yearlings now, so they didn't need nearly as much attention as she had shown them before.. and she missed it. She had gotten so attached to the little trio, and spending some time away from them made her heart ache. She wasn't one to choose favorites, but Kamala was the only female, so in a way she had favored her more. Now that the little ashy female had grown up males would be hawking her like prey. She needed to talk to her daughter, give her some lessons about life. She turned her attention to a new task; finding her daughter. Weaving through the territory she traveled like a serpent, unseen, undetected, slyly. Her daughter was at the heart of Seracia, so the duck chase was an easy one. When she came into a view a long smile plastered itself upon the woman's face. "Kamala" She cooed as she came closer to her daughter. Once she was a few feet away she stopped, waiting for a reply.

my dear old friend, take me for a spin; two wolves in the dark, running in the wind A noise in the brush had Kamala twitching her ears, swinging a charcoal colored head to focus green eyes in the direction from which the sound was coming from. It couldn't be anything dangerous, not in the heart of Seracia's territory, but Kamala's heart picked up its pace in its chest anyways. Only to slow immediately when a sigh of relief escaped the female at the appearance of her mother. "Mother!" The response was happy, and a quick flick of her tail was Kamala's first reaction. Calling Adette 'mother' still felt a little strange. Kamala had warmed up to Gerhardt more swiftly than she had to her mother, but that was merely because Adette's temper had intimidated Kamala as a pup. But now that she was a little bit more grown up, she had come to love Adette more dearly than she loved her vague memories of her crimson mother. Adette had been the one to be there for her, after all, the one to rescue her and Kamala would never stop owing her for that. They weren't the most average of families, but Kamala figured that she was still very lucky that she and her siblings had been discovered by the two wolves that had found them. Wagging her tail again, Kamala felt a lupine grin form upon her features. "How are you, Mother? What brings you out here?" It was a good deal more than many wolves managed to get her to say, but Kamala had not seen the female much recently. Adette had been busy, understandably so, but it was nice to see her mother again. The Queen of Seracia had many duties and it was entirely understandable that a female who was not her true daughter wasn't as high up on her list of priorities. And yet Kamala couldn't bring herself to believe that that was truly what was happening. Adette and Gerhardt had no other pups; had never given any sign that they loved Kamala and her siblings any less than they might love pups of their own. Adette was almost certainly just busy. And Kamala didn't begrudge her that. She was just happy to see her mother. So Kamala just wagged her tail happily, content now with keeping her silence. |
