This was it. The day that she had been waiting for since she first set paws on Alacritis soil. Those same paws carried her towards the lands of Seracia, each step making her a tiny bit more anxious. Her eyes were filled with that same emotion, which made her an open book for anyone if they chanced to read them deep enough.
The winter's breezes began to pick up as she got closer to the invisible borders of Seracia. Her eagerness and the present anxiety within her chest combined and she felt like she was about to swoon. Even though she was five years old, she couldn't help but feel as if she were a yearling again. Aeil slowly turned her head to the right and met Gerhardt's eye. The King himself had offered to escort her to the well known pack, and that had brought some relief to her many running thoughts. When his gaze met hers, Aeil took in a deep breath and said as she breathed out, "I am so nervous...Is it normal to be this way before walking towards your future?" A nervous tick in her tail made it move to the left and she inhaled deeply again to keep her legs from shaking.
She hoped that the journey she would make into Seracia would be one she could look back on with pride and happiness. It had been quite awhile since she had lived with other wolves and not knowing how they would take her was racking her brains. Aeil broke her gaze with Gerhardt and looked at the land that seemed to stretch in front of them. She put her trust in the King, which was something not many wolves had the pleasure of receiving. Silently, she waited for him to make the next move or say the next word. At this point, they were so close, but she wasn't sure what she should do next. All she could do was try to calm her mind and push her 'What if?' thoughts into a dark corner. "Gerhardt..." she said softly, a new thought popping up into her mind. "What if..what if they don't like me?" Aeil knew she sounded like a pup, but after being by herself for so long, she couldn't help but wonder. "Do you think I will be able to make you proud...and them as well?"
