THE DARKNESS OF SUNRISE
She'd woken up early the day prior and taken her time to depart from her children and mate. In whispered words, she'd told Drashiel where she was going, and why. She didn't want to risk her children following her. They weren't big enough for the journey- nor the dangers the unclaimed lands could bring. The visit had been long over-due and when she was satisfied that she wouldn't be followed she'd left the empire she ruled- and headed South West. As she journeyed south, she noted that spring was evident. The snow soon was as scarce as the wolves it was home too, as she moved further and further into the warmer environments of the land. She'd taken the time to rest in the South that night, before waking this morning to travel West.
It was about midday when she approached the borders of Arcanum, the borders she'd deduced from the strong smell of a former ally and somewhat friend- Cataleya. She approached with confidence befitting of a Queen, and halted a respectful distance from her borders. She took a breath, letting the warmer air fill her lungs before she tilted her head back into the air and let out a summons for the Queen. As her tones faded into the day, she studied the land with interest around her. It wasn't that long ago that she'd come here and met Erani Adravendi. My, how times had changed- the land was no longer the Valhallan strong-hold, now it seemed that those wolves opposites claimed power here. It was almost humorous. Almost. If only it didn't remind her how fickle the empires could be.
