I let myself go

She was weaker than she'd been before she'd given birth to her sons, but that was not fully unexpected at her age. She was no longer young, no longer as resilient, but she was as healed as she would ever be and she was still capable. She had appreciated the quiet of her new pack, content to simply exist there while her sons were growing, to allow it to provide safety. But she had not long ago been an alpha, and though the rank had never sat comfortably upon her shoulders she could not bring herself to simply let things happen to her as she had before she had been given responsibilities. She felt the need now to dip her paws back in, to cause some ripples in the still pond that was Solstice.

So in the early morning, planting soft kisses upon her sleeping children, she emerged into the frosty air with purpose. She found herself reluctant to leave her children even though they were getting older and didn't need her presence - they were over six months old now, but a deep seated fear of losing them loomed over her constantly. So she chose a spot fairly near their den and sent out a deep call for the warriors of Solstice. She was only a warrior herself, holding no real rank, but it was past time for her to meet the others, and the call was an invitation to them to meet with her. She needed to resharpen skills left too long unused, and in the time she'd been here she'd yet to hear a call for a meeting of warriors so there were undoubtedly others who could use the same.
