wheels of fate

It had been an entire season since she had joined Winterfell. Well, not entirely a whole season. It was more like she had come mid-summer and entered these lands. Finding the pack was something, though. She didn’t know if she would still be here if not. Boreas was a strange land full of strange people. Some were nice. Some were cruel. Often, they were inquisitive. Heloise realized she didn’t know many things about many other things. Especially the packs outside of Winterfell and the northern area. She hadn’t traveled at all since her joining and sought to remedy that as soon as possible. For now, she was content to continue roaming the woods around Winterfell.

Being so closed off from the world had advantages. She was unaware mostly of the problems the lower packs and the loners had. Especially with the large felines roaming around. Heloise would say she was quite unlucky with finding them; the first time was an accident. The second? Well, she was trying to be a good Winterfell pack member. Perhaps it was half accident and half blessing. If you could even count it a blessing. Or maybe, just maybe, it was the same cougar looking for revenge. Spotting the large feline at the border, the ivory woman would sound the alarm. She let out a gruff howl, short and to the point, before rushing at the beast. There was no look of intelligence in its eyes. This was merely a threat. And she would deal with it accordingly.

More experienced now, she charged boldly at the cougar and collided with its side. It hadn’t spotted her before she made the contact, and now it roared in anger. Twisting its long body, the cougar lashed out with powerful claws. Heloise knew there were children in the pack; children that liked to wander the lands that belonged to Winterfell. She would make sure they weren’t harmed by this beast looking to make an easy meal out of wolf pups. "Get out!” she’d snap, pushing back against the blows and trying to direct it to the border. She was unaware if her fellow pack mates would show up. Right now, she wasn’t going to let it go further in.
