An Unexpected Welcome

Gentle rain fell about her as Lukina sat beneath the willows. It was strange to be back in these lands again as an adult, so different from her starry eyed pup hood. Back when she looked up to her cousin. Back before she learned of the betrayal. Lukina resisted the urge to snarl though the corner of her mouth still drew up in a grimace. She'd returned home, sorted out what needed sorting, did what needed to be done. She bore the scars of her battles both inside and out and now that revenge had been had she didn't know what else to do with herself. Home had ceased to be home and so she returned to the only other land she knew.

Lost in thought and memory Lukina didn't notice the large bear moving through the trees behind her. A massive beast that bore blood of both grizzly and polar bear.
