Out For A Stroll [Caelia]

Aurielle could feel the tension slowly lessening between herself and Caelia. The young wolf was beginning to relax a bit, to open up and realize that, while Aurielle was the alpha, she was also one who could be a friend and an equal; or so Aurielle hoped she was realizing.

Caelia’s thoughtful musings cocked the Spirit’s head slightly as she considered, then smiled as she said, “No doubt, someone great. Your grandmother Epiphron was Queen many times. First of the original Valhalla, though she handed it quickly to your great aunt Chrysanthe in order to marry your grandfather Maverick of Seracia. I believe she also became the alpha of a pack called Ludicael and eventually passed it to your Uncle Leo. I think your mother might have told you of this, unless she herself didn’t know.”

A quick glance was cast to Caelia, to see if any of the history divulged meant anything to the girl, though she didn’t expand upon it, not yet.

Caelia’s empathy was not unappreciated, and the Spirit smiled gently, murmuring, “It’s alright… sometimes life just… draws wolves apart. He’d been a little scarce before then. Perhaps the pack life was just too quiet for him and he just didn’t want to hurt or insult me.”

She smiled as Caelia mused about her future, nodding silently to herself. Cairo had mentioned much the same thing, though he was very certain of wanting to be Sentinel. The two siblings could work very well together as a Beta pair. Cairo had the compassion and welcoming nature that would also benefit him as a Lodestar, she thought.

Aurielle nodded her approval of Caelia’s words and the shudder. “The entire pack is family, regardless of blood-relation. To be close-knit is to be strong and to be able to face opposition and come out victorious and safe. If ever you wish to come to one of the Pack Storytimes, everyone is welcome. I have many tales I would enjoy telling.”

It disheartened her that none had come to the last one she’d called, and she bit back a soft sigh, letting it pass near-silently through her nose.
