For Family

When she was young she had felt like she had known everything, that her whole life had been planned out and paved with no alterations. The goddess had shown them the way and that was that. She would have been happy to spend the rest of her days appeasing her and living at her brothers side. But now everything had changed. The goddess had disappeared in the floods, she had joined a pack in a forigen land only to be chased out of those lands by a volcanic explosion. And now there was another new land, one full of family she had only ever viewed from a distance before. But somehow they had made it all back together. And now there were more Sovari's. Her brother had had children, her eldest half brother and even she had somehow managed to pop out some children. It was probably the worst decision she had ever made in her life but in the long run hopefully it would all turn out for the better. Children were mouldable, blank canvas's that were her's to do with as she pleased. Though her current plans were getting in the way with her plans to train her children soon she would get everything back on track. Soon maybe she could return to the mountain she had hated and loved so much for a great deal of her life. The mountain itself had changed paws so many times, having only be freed when Taurig had passed the pack over to his father in return for the release of his love. She couldn't blame him and though she couldn't see herself doing the same she did respect him for it. Plus that left this land open for claiming.

It had taken her almost a year to get used to this stupid place with its high elevations and thinner air but eventually it had happened and then she had been forced to leave. Well not so much forced but had decided to go at the same time as her pack and her brother. This place had memories, bodies and deaths. Secret was buried here and though she had brought Vixe back to the Red Forest to give him his last resting place she still felt like she could visit his spirit here. So long limbs would stretch and thin frame would follow them as she made her way further and further up. This place had smelt unclaimed but as she moved further up a scent hit her. An all too familiar scent that brought an easy smile to her lips. Rune? Seemed like he was on a different face of the mountain though? A frown would crease her brow and immediately she would turn, heading downwards from her path and back towards the tree line. Finding him wasn't hard and she couldn't help the smile that touched her lips at the sight of the boy who was well on his way to becoming a man. She let out a bark, as if he hadn't already heard her paws smacking against the ground and breaking twigs. It was probably the happiest she had been in quite some time and that much was obvious from her tail waving easily above her back.

"Rune! Is that you?!?!" She called out, hopping up to his side in an attempt to swing her hip against his playfully. Last time she had seen him was when Taurig had originally taken over Tortuga and they had sparred briefly. That felt like a lifetime ago, was it a year? Longer? He was full grown now, a real man and she couldn't help but smile at him, lantern eyes glittering playfully. "Where have you been dear nephew? How have you been? I'm so glad to see you alive and well?" Her voice trailed off, gaze casting to the ground as her thoughts drifted to the last time she had seen Vixe. He was dead now. And where was Maia? Was she alive? There was so much to speak about, so much to discuss. She knew she still showed signs of motherhood, tests swollen with milk as it had been little less then a month since she had given birth. Though her stomach was beginning to lean out and tighten from her constant exercise in preparation for her impending challenge. But though some of her story could be told from her body there was little she could tell from his other then good health.
