Moonlight on the falls

The woman very well could have continued the illusion, allowing Rhaegara to treat her like a god but instead she respectfully and gracefully let her down, informing her that she was not that old. Quickly, Rhae sat back up, feeling embarrassed as she felt the heat rise under her fur. Of course she wasn’t a god; the gods did not walk amongst wolves unless something truly important was happening. Still, her head cocked to the side confused as to how the woman had known her name, and not just hers, but that of her animal companion as well.

It was Carlys who broke the question prior to the Adravendi’s explanation on her knowledge. “How do you know who we are?” The explanation came with time, watching as the woman lowered into a sitting position, Rhae easing into her own across from her.

It was her explanation that made more sense, the mention of her fast friend Cairo reaching her ears as a look of revelation spread across her features, calling herself Spirit which she assumed must have meant alpha. “I apologize, your grace. These lands are very strange to me, and I have not seen another like you.” She quickly apologized, wondering just how much Cairo had told his leader about her.

“Yes, I am Rhaegara, and this is my friend and companion Carlys. I have heard much about you, and your feats of leadership and strength.” She realized she had never confirmed the woman’s beliefs; she’d never let herself be caught doing something so rude.

She offered to help and Rhae felt slightly self-conscious, her paws scraping anxiously against the dirt. “I’ve simply been conflicted… for a long time now. I’ve been trying to work it out on my own, but it’s a slow process.” She had hoped the Ancient One would have been able to bless her with divine understanding, but she was afraid that with a mere wolf she would not be as fortunate. "I'm certain you have larger concerns than a loner's internal strife."
