After finding this magical place during her search of the northern territories to find the gems that eventually made their way into Artorias' sword, she knew she needed to bring Artorias here. His love of exploration and seeing new places in the world was something she always remembered and appreciated about him, even though she didn't make the effort to go and explore as often as he did. There was also just a little part of her that wanted to steal him away for at least a little while just to have some time to themselves.
He was always pulled in so many directions with the pack and his duties as an alpha that it was hard to have any time with him throughout the day, usually only getting time with him at night when they went to bed or sometimes during meals. Plus, with having to share him with Bowen she wanted to have just a few days of uninterrupted time to herself since she was sure Bowen would get the same occasionally. She had thought that her jealousy over the Carpathius woman had faded since Artorias first told her about his love for her, but being in The Hallows full time and seeing them together and having Bowen's scent on Artorias from time to time reminded her of it and brought it back in full force.
She did her best to remember the path to the hidden grotto, leading Artorias through the mountains of the north. At least it was summer and the weather wasn't too chilly, though it was noticeably cooler than it was back home in Auster. "Shouldn't be too much farther now," she said as she looked back over her shoulder at Artorias with a grin, making their way though the rocky mountain path. Eventually she found the point in the path where it lead back behind a tall ridge of rock, the path ahead of them dark and difficult to see. "I just stuck against the left wall through here and got through pretty easily," she told him. It was much less daunting the second time around since she knew what they would find on the other side.
Briar was still careful as she went forward, her paws feeling the path ahead of her just to make sure she didn't trip. The light behind them faded away and for at least a few moments they were in complete darkness before the golden light ahead of them started to appear. She kept one ear turned back just to listen for Artorias' steps to make sure he was still right behind her. They got closer and closer to the light and she grinned when she started to see the sparkle and shine of the many fire-hued gems as well, her tail wagging gently behind her while she waited eagerly to see Artorias' reaction.
