Calling All Family

As she and her family gathered at the boulder, and Baine nestled in between her forelegs, Surreal gazed around, waiting with bated breath. And they came. First was Arian, which surprised Surreal a little, since the red Adravendi was an Alpha in the north, far beyond what Surreal would have imagined her call could have reached. Of course, Epiphron and her children were on the Eastern coast, so…

She greeted her niece with a smile, noting the glance at Baine, and the way Falk bristled protectively. ”Yes, she is.” The pride in her voice brooked no arguments otherwise, not that any might have come. Just then, a figure approached, followed shortly by another. Epiphron and a male that nearly matched Pip for markings, if reversed in color. Surreals face broke into a wide grin. ”Pip. I’m guessing this is one of your sons?” She looked at the fellow in question with a smile.

She waited a little while longer, but no more figures approached. ”I felt it was time that we made some introductions. I didn’t get to tell you, Pip, but you have a new niece and nephew. This is Tornach, and this is Baine.” As she introduced her younger brood, a smile pulled at her features. Then she introduced the elder two. ”This is Regulus, our first born, and Zuriel, our second born… Faite is… still missing. And this is Falk, their father, and my mate.” The heated look she gave her sightless mate said no decline had occurred in her love for the male.

She looked at Epiphron with a wide grin, nodding to the surrounding Plains. “It’s good to be home, even if the pack hasn’t been reborn yet.” Her eyes turned to Regulus, who watched the male that had accompanied Epiphron with a big brothers curiosity as the older male made playful overtures to Baine. A smile pulled at her jaws and she nudged her rosy hued daughter. ”Feel free to play, kids.” By kids, she included the elder two as well.
