Manifest Destiny (old Glaciems)

She had been true to her word about leaving Glaciem. The family that Crusade and Gargoyle had welcomed her into was the one whom held her heart. Eria had decided, on that fateful day of walking onto their grounds, she would stand true beside them...or behind them..wherever she was asked to stand! Anywhere was all right with her. Eria's ears had perked when Gargoyle emitted his slightly different howl. Since the battle, he was on the road to recovery, making the usually flexible and deep-toned wolf less of what he used to be. In time, it would all return and she would be one of the many to celebrate. Hell, Eria was excited that now he was better off than other wolves may have been. Pride for her Chief danced in her eyes as she travelled to meet the call. Dark paws carried the black-and-blue pelted fae across the lands, since the family had been staying at The Snowfalls until further notice. How she heard his call over such an expanse of land was crazy to believe. Eria was full of surprises at times, and she didn't go into it further. With eyes alight, she covered the required distance to reach him. The scenery changed around Eria during her journey. Snow and ice became grass and living trees. Green grass, bushes, and leaves on the trees screamed at her, dancing merrily in the warm spring breezes that rushed around her. The changes from the Northern hemisphere startled Eria. She had been so used to the white scenery and cold winds that she had missed out on spring altogether. Heart raced as she increased her pace towards Tortuga. Mount Volkan...she had never seen such a large mountain in her life. Aside from the crystal fortress Glaciem had, she hadn't thought of another one in Alacritis. Now, as she reached the unfamiliar territory, she relied on her nose more than anything to get her to her Chief. Crossing the border lines without knowing it, she kept on and finally caught the scent. Eria released a lone and happy howl, stopping as she did so. Excitement ran through her veins and after her call was sent out, she started up again. Paws carried her towards the scent, towards Gargoyle. When she saw him come in her view, she barked happily. Eria slowed her run to a brisk trot until she stopped next to Gargoyle. "Chief Gargoyle..." she said, tail shaking behind her in a gentle sway. Customs from the old pack days explained the gentle dip of her maw to the tall giant. Slowly, after rising, she looked out to the land that stretched out from them. "The rumors are true, then? Tortuga has disbanded..." Awe was evident in the young she-wolf's tone. Speech, |
