Aurielle Adravendi

It had been a trip, but she’d enjoyed getting to know Caelia along the way. Time was growing short for getting in touch with all the alphas of the various packs that Valhalla was allied with to let them know of her plans for a Festival come mid-Summer. She did wonder if Branch had carried any word to Shaye of these plans, though she had a feeling the Abaven alphess would be expecting it anyway, given their talk the last time Aurielle had traveled here. Her eyes flicked to Caelia as she slowed to a stop and stretched the weariness from her muscles. She was finally fully healed from her bear encounter and it was nice to have nothing but regrowing fur and deep scarring left of the injuries. Gwenevere had made requests that Caelia learn from multiple leaders, and Shaye was among those Aurielle thought would be good teachers. Ignatius was one as well. Each of those Aurielle had allied Valhalla with had something good to teach. No doubt Branch would be especially good for lessons in trade and economy. A brief smile was flashed to the young Adravendi before she tipped her head toward the border, offering Caelia the chance to do the honors of howling for the leaders. Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Hear" ---- Think

Caelia had been spending significantly more time with Aurielle lately. She'd have to, if she wanted to learn as much as she could about leadership, though it was an adjustment to say the least. Before her mother's death, most of her time had been spent with his siblings, but now she spent much more time patrolling and training with Aurielle. Her time outside the borders had increased too, deciding that brief strolls into the lands that surrounded Valhalla's own lands were important. Either way, things were changing for her - and if for better or worse, she wasn't quite sure yet. This was the path she'd chosen, and she knew her mother would support her goals if she was still here. Before long they'd arrived at the border of Abaven. She knew little about their allied pack, though surely this visit would teach her more. Her own pace slowed, her posture drooping from fatigue from the journey here. Her muscles burned, but in a pleasant way - the way that made her certain she'd sleep soundly tonight. Nodding to Aurielle, she tipped her head to the sky and let loose a howl that sounded more confident than she felt. Hopefully their visit today would turn into a productive one, though she couldn't help but hope she'd be staying for longer than the afternoon.
