After all this time

The call from Mother was incredibly unexpected. It was pretty far away but it urgently beckoned the youngling to head to her. Verity hestitated only for a moment before deciding she needed to listen. What if something was wrong? A small bit of nerves welled within the girl as she set out into unclaimed territory. The swamplands with incredibly intriguing. Beaming with life and mystery. But, this was the first time she was venturing out completely alone. None of Mother's companions to accompany her. Thankfully she knew she wasn't that far away from her Mom and Ashen was at her rear.

At first the journey was rather exciting but after she was swallowed by the Swamplands she felt rather alone. Verity remained on the path in the direction of the howl. She was mindful of each and every noise that made it her way. Green eyes were wide as they scanned the water each time she passed, wondering if there was something lurking beneath ready to eat her up. Ver was very tiny and was reminded of that in moments like these.

A lot of those nerves seemed to vanish when she entered the Gulley. She was able to catch her Mother's scent pretty quickly and the youngling ran in that directions. Small legs carried deeper into the territory until she caught up with the group. Ver was glad to see her Mom seemed fine and chatting with two others. A really big black Wolf and a pup at his paws. Honestly, Verity had never seen such a massive Wolf in her life. Some in Ashen was as tall but not as big.

Ver was ushered on by her Mother and the babe complied. She found her spot at Ban's side and offered a small smile to the pair. Sirius and Kite, she'd need to remember those names. "Hello." The pup felt silly after such a simple response but she really didn't know what else to say. Her eyes moved from Sirius to his daughter Kite, noticing the blindfold. She wanted to tilt her head in curiosity but figured that would be rude. - Just as Verity was starting to wonder why she was there Banshee sent the two off on a play date. This called for her tail to begin wagging and her smile to brighten, "We will be good!" Reassuring her worrisome Mother Ver looked to Kite, "Lets go before she changes her mind!" Ver then set off in a light trot, hoping her new sightless friend would follow.
