Come Gather 'Round People

On these winter days, Ember usually chose to spend her time indoors, often doing some sort of craft with her mother. That was what she had been in the middle of doing when the call from her visiting aunt went out, and after getting permission to be dismissed, the little girl took off for the outdoor arenas. Through the gardens and out past the gates she went, little paws rushing over crunchy winter grass until she spotted the gathering at the sparring rings. To her surprise, her father was nowhere to be seen. That wasn't a problem, of course, but knowing how her dad was in charge of the pack and the Hallows' greatest warrior, she wondered why he wasn't here to oversee their training. Oh well, he was probably busy doing other alpha things.

"Contain your excitement, I have arrived!" Ember declared with a bit of showmanship flair, leaping and bounding forward to skid across the sandy ground and into the ring, quite proud of how cool she must have looked on her arrival. Her cousin and brother were already here and waiting for the lesson to begin, so she wasn't the first, but hopefully she wouldn't be the last and latest to arrive. Looking over to Nelu, Ember was surprised to find a large raven with him, much like how their parents both had ravens too. "Whoa! Hey Nelu, who's your friend?" she asked, turning a curious tilt of her head to the corvid while she studied him.

"Ember Carpathius"
