Searching for Safety

*Natalya* · 07-30-2014, 01:00 PM

Change was consuming her life, one thing after another keeping the Centurion on her toes. She had given birth, accepted members, held an important meeting with the Empress, approved a marriage, and given lessons. The season was passing in a whirlwind, too fast for her to truly keep up, but one event in particular plagued her. Day by day, its influence wore off just a little bit, but never enough to allow her mind to truly block it out.

Each and every time the dame closed her eyes to sleep, she was assailed by the memory of disposing of her youngest. She relived the feeling of releasing him from her grasp and letting him fall into the crevice as she turned tail and ran, too cowardly to stay and stick it out. Natalya was ashamed of herself in that moment, but she was not ashamed of her choice concerning the infant. She knew that it had been for the best, despite the pain it brought in her dreams and the dull ache that followed her throughout the day.

Her head remained high, though, as she set out to answer yet another summons at the border. There she found three newcomers awaiting a reply. She barked in greeting as she approached, finding her way too them mere seconds later and dipping her head in a brief hello. "My name is Natalya Olympus and I am the Centurion of this pack. Tell me, what brings you to our borders?"
