She seemed amazed at his ability to find water, and he supposed it should have been shocking, they were on the edge of a desert after all. However, he had heard of this land, and knew of the lake here, so it had only been a matter of figuring out where it lay. The pine trees that lazed haphazardly around the outskirts of the water created an almost dense foliage, and he waited for her to begin searching for signs of prey.
Instead, she got serious, looking up at him, and asking a question he knew he only had one answer to. “The god?” he asked softly, but he already knew that was what she meant. The god of her father's religion, the belief that they themselves, children of gods, were also gods. “I do not.” he admitted. “I believe the one great changer in land is strength. The strength of the volcano has outdone us, and the strength of one wolf can outdo another.” he couldn’t imagine it was the answer she was searching for, now that she questioned the passing of her father and what that meant for her. But, Sirius would not lie to her.
