Though summer had reached the lower latitudes, even in the north, here the land lay locked in the eternal winter of the far north. It was the world she had been born to inhabit, the same sort of world her kind had inhabited for untold generations. Long before humans had died out... long before the human species had even existed... her kind had been here, lived and loved and fought and died here. Her gods had existed long before humans had begun their worship - even the clumsy, naked ape-creatures had recognized it, with their version of Odin flanked by two loyal wolves. She felt closest to the All-father, her Father, here in the eternal cold. There were so many places here that were clearly god-touched, she mused as she set paw upon the frozen lake and watched the familiar luminescence flare to life beneath the pressure of her weight. The icy arches and spires were as worthy of attention and admiration as the colorful lights beneath the ice, in many ways a more beautiful and worthy temple than any hof humans had built in their graceless worship.

The slender, wraithlike godi stared contemplatively over the ice, watching the lights of the ice play merrily with the swirling gold smoke her Otherworldly vision attributed to this place, then lifted her muzzle to howl, the sweet voice of wolfsong, a prayer of kinship and thankfulness offered to the gods.
