Friends aren't easy to come by

Lia had waited in the Armada for Vanta to be ready to leave, and then one day she woke up and the woman she had chosen to follow was gone. She couldn’t understand it, and she certainly couldn’t understand why. She stayed close to the Armada, reasoning that family would eventually bring Vanta back again. But she ventured out, too.

Exploring the areas surrounding the pack, and looking for some sign of her. During her back and forths, the Armada slowly changed around her. Sirius stepped down as leader, and another wolf took his place. She wasn’t entirely sure if her welcome extended with this wolf, and she found herself exploring a little further. Today, she found a cave. It was strange and well lit inside. In fact, the first glimpse of brilliant, glowing blue made her think she had caught a glimpse of Vanta. But heading inside, she realised it was a phenomenon caused by mushrooms.

“Vanta!?” She called out, letting the word echo through the stone.
