Two Worlds into One

Sterling mustered a small smile one more time to Regulus as he introduced himself, giving his full name. It was a tongue-full as far as she was concerned, and she hoped she would remember it. But, as long as she knew his first name and his rank, she was sure it would all be okay. As he introduced a young female whom Sterling hadn't even been aware of, she blinked slowly, wondering if her eyes were playing tricks on her as the shimmering princess stalked out of the mist like specter. Her pounding head ached as she tried to understand what she was seeing, but it was just too much for her to figure out. It was all a little bit surreal for her.

She looked away from the girl and nodded one last time to Regulus, thanking him again in a low murmur. Wow, she would have a rank within the pack. It may have been a low rank, but it still meant she'd temporarily be a part of Celestial, and she certainly couldn't say she didn't like that. She could never have predicted this, but the turn of events were certainly proving to be interesting to say the least. She watched Regulus as he left, until his brilliant red form disappeared. Then she felt the travois begin to move again, and her eyes coursed over Paladin's frame for a moment, before she looked to Aurielle.

The friendly but seemingly somewhat shy girl introduced herself with a nickname, and Sterling offered her a little grin, despite her pain. "Thank you," her strained voice came forth; she couldn't help but to humor the girl a bit, "Nice to meet you 'Rielle. That's a cool affect you've got, coming out of the mist like that." Regulus had materialized from the fog as well, but with Aurielle's white, gleaming coat, there was just something different about it. As they moved along,
Sterling observed the she-pup some more, curious as to how she'd acquired such a beautiful long and shimmering coat. And, not wanting to leave a bad impression with the younger female, Sterling tried to ignore the pain in her ribs and head as she continued the conversation. "So, what did you learn today?" she asked, a pained chuckle escaping her, "I learned to watch where I step, and that falling down ravines isn't very much fun."
