Diana had not been on the continent long but she already could tell something was off. The spirits that had come to her were weak and frail, a sense of panic to their presence and a strong desire to run had filled her when she'd taken them into herself. Indeed their physical forms had had less flesh on their bones than she had been used to and a deep sense of dread had underlined each moment she'd kept their spirits tethered to the mortal plane.

There was of course also the plume of smoke in the distance, visible even from quite a ways away, the sky was dark and what she had at first been cloud cover seemed more likely to be smoke still hanging high above them. It didn't take a genius to know what that could mean and Diana prided herself on being quite smart. She was more than that though, she was curious, maybe dangerously so. It wasn't hard to skirt the mountain when it came into view but she couldn't help feeling inexorably drawn to the lands around it, she could feel the grief and despair and pain coming from the earth itself. Spirits roamed freely here, stuck in the final moments of their terrifying deaths, the feeling of their despair was like a title wave over the sorceress, at once drowning her and exhilarating.

These she did not release from their earthy chains, these she would allow to wallow until they eventually faded. The woman wondered if there were any higher souls left alive on the continent, the prey had started returning but she had yet to meet a single living wolf. That question would be answered as she moved among the desolate husks of trees near the base of the mountain. Blue gaze landing on a sight indeed. An ashen man, taller than herself but she was more than used to that among her own family, what drew her attention was the elongated teeth poking out beneath his upper lip. He moved with a sort of carelessness that Diana was not used to, it wasn't quite the cocky lack of regard she herself often adopted.

The woman found her voice, allowing it to move across the space between them, velveteen and more than a little suggestive. "And here I was starting to wonder if I was the only wolf on this continent."
