These plains, had once, for a short time, been hers. She had given them up for a Western home, and then lost it. Life was constantly giving and taking, it was tiring... the woman was beginning to feel a bit old. Four years old as of the previous winter, and she had seen so much. War and sickness, love and loss. Having Gideon at her side again was surreal, but it had lifted her spirits quite a bit. Still, she yearned for something she had not had while she was fighting her sickness - her family. Her daughter was self sufficient now, she was sure - and her siblings had created families of their own, it stung a touch, knowing that she was no longer a necessary part of their lives. But she wanted to know how they were, and she would start with her sibling, her beautiful litter mate that was no doubt lingering around here somewhere.
Tracking her was not as easy a task as it should have been - Chrys had lost some muscle mass that fall and winter while trying to fight the sickness on her own. But she didn't walk with weariness in her step - no, she had enough pride to carry herself with a level head. Valhalla was now lost to her, and their family - did Epiphron know? It wasn't the best of news, but at least she could come to her sister of ample health. Relief was already present that she was around to track - the disease had not felled her. Knowing that it had spread regardless of her disappearance was devastating at first, but it gave her a reason to set off and find those that she considered close. Odette was ever present on her list, but she had not run into her daughter quite yet.
Tilting her head back, she would howl for her sister - and if she didn't respond she would continue seeking her out by foot.
