so this is it.

She wasn't a fucking chicken. She was going to do this. Fortune favors the brave, so she would balls up and get it done. Gritting her teeth she moves to the edge of the Plains, dichromatic gaze on the late afternoon horizon. Everything was so strange. Was she even feeling anything real? This feeling of homecoming for a place that she'd never seen? This had to be it. It just... it just smelled like Adravendis. This place was so different, and yet so the same. Fortune longed for her brothers, but whatever, they were sissies. She'd left home ahead of them, and she was going to get home before them. She'd show them. Hell, maybe she'd even be at the head of the ranks before they even got here. The young woman absolutely loved to get under their skin in that manner. It was too perfect. In a voice that matched her father's, if an octave higher, she howls. Head tipped back, tail wagging. Awoo. That's it. That's what she has for them. Silhouetted gallantly against the hazy late afternoon, she waits. The border, but she wanders forward just a bit out of boredom. Just a bit. A pacing circle, and then she stops again. No guts, no glory, right? Some strange feeling wells up in her chest, one that she can't put a name to. It's a mix of homecoming and homeleaving, she is both happy and sad and... there's no name for that. There's no way to talk about that. Gallant. They'd come eventually. fortune shock & awe |

A huff would leave her as she lay underneath the shade of a tree. She really couldn't remember summer ever being this hot before. Granted she had spent one of them in the mountains, but still. Border patrols had become a thing she was dreading. The lighter thinner part of her coat did her justice, but where it grew darker it felt like the sun was setting her ablaze. So she'd taken a break from her patrols to find some relief from the unrelenting ball of fire in the sky. To her dismay her break had come at such an inconvenient time. She'd only been resting for about less than half an hour when a howl broke the silence. Ears perked up and she sprung to her feet. Was that? No... was it? She couldn't ever remember anyone actually coming to the borders to join them. Typically it was either her or Regulus dragging wolves home after they'd found them elsewhere. Yet here someone was calling for a higher ranking wolf to come meet them. Excited. That's how she felt now. She could barely contain it behind a layer of practiced authority as she trotted towards where the sound had come from. Her tail waved at an elevated place behind her and her eyes with bright with merriment. It didn't take her long to reach the stranger, but when her gaze rested upon the woman she felt a strange sense of familiarity that could only be achieved by looking at a family member. She shook the feeling away and instead smiled warmly at the other wolf. "Greetings. What brings you to Celestial's borders?" She had to resist cringing. It sounded so diplomatic and formal. She hated it but it was necessary. Walk, "Talk" Think |

The woman that stood before her was... one of the smells. One of the smells that rested along the border, one of the ones that was. One of. Fortune feels very much a girl beside the woman, though she's a decent amount taller at the shoulder. Taller, stronger, heavier. She lacks speed. Authority seems to seep from the other creature, but Fortune didn't dare let herself feel small. Shoulders back, head high, near toxic eyes fixing on the other lady. Dichromatic. They both had it, though the colors reflected back upon her own were... classier. Fortune holds back the inward snort she can feel bubbling up. Now was not the time. Maybe the time would come-- not now. "I'm an Adravendi. My father, my mother, they both called this place home." Her tail wags slightly, peering at the lady with the red face. The glimmering gem about her neck catches her eye, but she doesn't ask. She wouldn't ask yet. There's a breath held inside Fortune's chest. She needed an answer, she needed some semblance of recognition, at least, before she asked for shelter. Had the Adravendi name been pushed out? Did the no longer exist here? Fortune would be crestfallen if they did, but she just... needed... to know. fortune shock & awe |

Faite's eyes would study the other woman that was about her age. The other girl certainly had her on height, but most wolves did. Faite wasn't tiny, but she wasn't large either. A little less than average was probably the best term for it though in a world with giants she often felt quite small. This woman seemed to be about the height of her mother, similar colors too, which was comforting in a way. The same sense of familiarity hit her again and she shoved it back. She'd find out soon who she was and until then her gut could quit it. She introduced herself as an Adravendi and Faite found a grin slowly forming on her muzzle. So she was family. She didn't look like Dagger or Acapella so she doubted she was from their litter. Maybe one of their other family members? It was hard to tell considering Faite had never met them before. "It still surprises me how big our family is." She grinned. "I'm Faite Adravendi. Daughter to Surreal. My brother Regulus runs the pack and I'm his secondary alpha." She offered the information easily now to help catch her up. If she was family that meant she was at least interested in meeting them, right? Walk, "Talk" Think |
