Alaric travelled away from the alabaster shrine and towards the lands in the east. It wasn't a very far trip, he could return to the shrine when he pleased. He entered a land scattered with weeping willow trees and creeks that lay beneath their branches. It was a beautiful sight. Snug between two large weeping willow trees was a small clearing. Alaric gestured to his cane corsos to follow him to said clearing, where he tested its soil for dryness and stability. It was stable enough and not very moist. A perfect place for a training session. Alaric lifted his head towards the sky and let out a call specifically for Atreyu. Once the call was finished, Alaric would wait with some patience for her arrival.

Atreyu had been ensuring no other wolves or predators could sneak up on her or her family again, the jaguar at the shrine had been enough for her. She wouldn't be caught off guard again. Alaric's song reached her ears, though he sounded farther away than she would have expected. Warming up her muscles at a fast trot, Atreyu made her way to the willow forest that neighbored the shrine, following the direction Alaric's call had come from. Upon arriving Atreyu gave her teacher a big smile, Bigs following along behind her with faithful pride in his step. She had finally done it, and while looking for more Judilian wolves, Atreyu hoped that others like Alaric would find their way to her as well. Dipping her head respectfully to her teacher, Atreyu kept the smile painted on her face. "What are we doing today, Alaric?" She asked him, hoping it wasn't anything too strenuous. "Talking."
