The last couple days had been long, a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs. Between the business and the emotions and the wounds she had gotten little rest. That caught up to her on her way back to Yfir from Ebony, and the newly-minted alpha was forced to find a shelter to curl up in before she dropped on her face. She'd managed to push herself hard enough to find this hollow beneath a tree without even a stumble but the moment she'd curled up in the makeshift den she'd switched off, exhausted body dropping into an immediate and deep sleep. ********* Dreeeeeam sequeeeeeeence ********* She was surprised to find, when she woke again to find herself not in the hollow at all, but curled up on a lichen-covered stone in an unfamiliar place. Such had never happened to her before, but rather than provoking a fear reaction it produced awe, and the absolute certainty that this was the work of the gods to bring her unknowing to this beautiful and wild place. But why? What was here that she needed from the gods? Or was it something they needed her to do? She lifted herself from the rock with ease, mercury gaze roving the area with curiosity. What would she find here? OOC: basically picturing that death would probably look something like Norway to Auora but feel free to change it when she actually shows up. It *is* a dream after all, these things happen. XD "

Mist whispered softly along the ground, it's tendrils softly caressing the mottled fur of the phantom that slipped across the ground. Piercing blue eyes gazed ahead, maw parted and a silvery voice floated through the fog to the consciousness of the one she knew so well. Katja. Her little sister. Au?ra's form moved switfly, paws seeming to barely touch the earth as she raced for her family. Such a thing now to be with the gods that she could not even begin to describe it. "Katja ... Jeg har ikke ord. Jeg har savnet deg s? mye." Au?ra moved forward, tears shimmering in her eyes as she reached out to nuzzle the charcoal-coated femme. She pulled back, taking a moment to take in her sisters form. "Fortell meg. Hvor har du v?rt?" "Speech"

Time seemed to pass oddly here, at times creeping and at others racing like a diving falcon. It happened as she raised her head to see who approached her - the movement seemed to take ages until her gaze met the rust-marked form of her sister, and an up swelling of joy took her. Suddenly it seemed she merely needed to think of being at Auora's side and she was there, curling her forelegs around the elder sister's shoulders in an unusually puppyish expression of her delight. Auora was here, and she was whole, and she seemed to glow with an inner light far greater than she'd possessed even in life. Katja pressed her deaths-head marked face against her sister's shoulder as she spoke. "Jeg har savnet deg ogs?, elskede." She pulled away finally, radiance written broadly through her eyes. "Jeg har v?rt i Olympus, Auora. Jeg gitt mitt blod for ? ta det fra dem og lage en pakning for v?r familie. V?r livsform. Jeg kaller det Yfir." She tenderly laid the side of her muzzle against Auora's. "Som gudene byr meg." ""

What bliss was greater than that of seeing the ones you love once more after so long a parting? Au?ra nearly cried in delight as she was embraced by her little sister, her own forelimbs moved to wrap around Katja's shoulders so she could share the embrace, her head dipping forward as she reached to place a lick on Katja's cheek. Memory was a living thing here and she could take in her sisters smell and the feel of her fur even if Au?ra herself was now something beyond her body. Au?ra's smile did not fade as they let the embrace fall, her tail was wagging as she gazed at Katja. She had really grown into a magnificent woman there was no denying. The gods would be well pleased with her of this Au?ra was certain. Katja spoke and Au?ra listened eagerly. She was not able to keep as close a watch on the mortal realm as she'd like and any news on how her sister was faring was greatly desirable. Au?ra's brilliant blue eyes widened slightly at the mention of a pack. Katja was an alpha? "Du vil utelukke det godt Katja, for dette har jeg ikke tviler. Jeg er veldig stolt av deg. Din styrke er en inspirasjon." Au?ra welcomed the nuzzle but softly a frown crossed her muzzle as she pulled back. "Katja, jeg har ikke sett eller h?rt om jaegar, m? du v?re p? vakt." Rarely had her visions proved false. She had no doubt this was some trick of Loki's but how was he playing it? Was he hiding Jaegar from her in the after life or had he tampered with her dreams and her visions to have her bear false prophecy? It was troubling to say the least. But Au?ra would not dwell long on the thought. After all she did not know how long this meeting would last and she did not want it to be filled with thoughts of her sinful cousin. "Katja, jeg vil du skal vite at jeg ?nsker dere alle lykke til i de ni verdener. Glem aldri at jeg g?r ved siden av deg." "Speech"
