Since joining the ranks of Valta, the earthen-hued woman has felt homesick. It is a strange sensation for Athena since she is use to living a nomadic lifestyle, having grown up moving constantly. But, when she had been welcomed into Fenmyre and allowed to become a part of the pack, she had thought that, maybe, her travelling days where over. She had laid down her pack, struck up friendships, and welcomed the change. Everything was comfortable and the earthen woman was finally letting her guard down. Of course, just when she expected it the least, change had shaken her world. The King had fallen ill and he, along with many of his family, left in search of a cure. Athena’s focus shifted as she foced herself to not grieve the sudden loss of the familiar. One of the King’s sons had stayed behind and lost himself in a swirl of anxiety and depression. She turned to him, willingly becoming his caretaker and blissfully losing herself in his care and the need to keep them both fed. Again, things changed when Strix had pulled himself out of his downward spiral and decided to rejoin the world. Together, they had traveled up to Boreas and sought out a pack to join. Now, with the dust settled and both of them settling back into pack life, Athena had found her mind turning back to the lands down in Auster. Maybe she needs to go back and say her goodbyes or perhaps she just wants to lay eyes on the lands and find that the pack’s scent no longer lingers on the borders. Whatever her reasoning is, the woman’s paw pull her into the familiar grove of aspen trees that she knows will give way to the dam. Sadness tugs at her heart as she wanders underneath the trees, remembering the summer swim that is not that long gone. She misses the wolves, Chimera, Albion, and the funny, strange wild dog Kione. Thoughts tumble and turn as her amber gaze sweeps over the land, seeing memories in the trees but not the danger that lurks there now. It isn’t until a growl interrupts her thoughts that Athena realizes her grave mistake. Halting her forward momentum, the woman wearily eyes the coyotes that appear from behind the white barked trees and slowly begin to approach her. If there weren’t six coyotes in her path, she may have tried to stand her ground but the earthen wolf knows a losing battle when she sees one and turns to run. However, she is greeted by more growls and coyotes as three more stand in her way. Without hesitating, she releases a howl for help, before the woman then bristles and sets her defenses, readying for the fight ahead. The coyotes hesitate a moment, sharing an uneasy glance around before deciding to charge in. They decide, with a flick of their eyes, that it is better to take her down before any other wolves arrive. If only they had been quicker in their decision.
