Let's Start A Riot! [Raid meeting]

The girl was still quite a distance away when she heard Dragon's call, a faded sound ringing out and barely reaching her ears. Oh shoot! She must have spent more time in Boreas than she was supposed to. Well, she had gotten a little carried away exploring, but still, she'd thought she would have time to get home long before this meeting. She was surprised to be hearing Dragon's call for the pack while she was on her way back home. She picked up her pace, despite the tired resistance in her legs, knowing she still had a long ways to go, but she had to make it there. She would be very disappointed if she was too late for this meeting, and missed out on the raid because of it.

It seemed an eternity before Sterling could finally see the crumbled walls of the castle, the sun having shifted slightly in the sky since she'd heard Dragon's howl. Tapping into her endless well of youthful energy and endurance, the gray-marked she-wolf increased her pace yet again so that dust flew up behind her, her silver-tipped ears flicking in the wind. She carried on until she was upon the gathering, seeing that many wolves had come before her, but Dragon had not started speaking yet. Sighing with relief, she figured she must be just on time. She bounded over to her family, smiling at Jade - Sterling's eyes were glowing with excitement from her adventure, and she hoped to share some of the things she'd seen with her sister. Her tail flicking, she grinned at her parent's as she trotted by, having little to say at the moment as she was panting heavily to catch her breath.

She moved to go sit near the front of the gathering, her tongue lolling as she found a spot to sit that was nearby the starry-coated male where she could see Dragon easily. She plunked into a comfortable seated position, trying to quiet herself as she waited for the meeting to start.
