The Rightful Rulers

The trek from the springs to the castle had been long and arduous. They'd taken it slow for the sake of the pups. Resin, Indigo and Ulric pulled the heavy sleigh through the snow and sometimes across dry land. There had been one point where the sled was much too heavy to take down a steep path and so they had to unload everything, take it all to the bottom, and load it again once they were there. More than once on the journey she thought that she was going to have to strangle a pup or two. Gods... she hoped this move was worth it.

Resin has send Askan on ahead to prepare their new dwelling. The maned woman had seen the structure on her way into the lands and though she'd spent a single night there, she hadn't had much time to explore. It was the little warriors duty to make sure that there weren't any freeloaders hanging around or predators inhabiting the building. If he couldn't run them off, no doubt his goose could.

When it seemed like the journey would never end, Resin could see the tall stone silhouette in the distance. The woman stopped, the cart rolling to a halt behind her. She addressed the pack. "Our new home awaits." Seeing their destination gave her a jolt of energy and she threw her weight into the harness, getting the cart moving once more. It was almost done.

They skirted the plains; a long expanse of grass where many different herbivores grazed and played. A very good sign. It seemed that they may have timed their journey well after all. The Hallows had outrun the worst of winter, instead drifting back into cool autumnal temperatures. It was much warmer here than Boreas, but it was still rather chilly. Resin didn't mind one bit. She was just glad to get out of the snow.

In time, the group of wolves moved into the vine encased courtyard. Greenery had eaten up much of the lower portions of stone, but the upper bits were still grey and proud. Just like their new ruler. Slipping from the harness, Resin turned to address her wolves. "This is our new home. We will claim both this and the plains that we passed. Learn your new home. Leave your marks. Let none deny that this is Hallowed land."

Though exhausted, there was much to be done. The cart needed to be unloaded and the food needed to be placed somewhere cold and safe. Dens would need to be chosen within the stone building. There were so many that each wolf would be able to have their own and then some. It would still allow Resin to provide sanctuary for those in need. They lacked hot springs, but they still had much to offer those that might just need a vacation or a break.

Turning to Tamsyn, Resin placed a lick upon the smaller woman's onyx cheek. "My lady," she rumbled softly against her lovers ear, a grin on her maw. "I'll allow you to choose a place for us and for the children." Meanwhile, she would locate a place to store the food. Giving Tamsyn another lick to the cheek, the ash and obsidian woman moved into the castle. "Askan!" she called out, her voice echoing on the stone walls. Far off, she thought she could hear the honking of a goose.
