He had decided to head Northward for a bit, maybe for just a day or two at least. He wanted to visit his fathers grave, the young boy suddenly missing Vereux terribly. It seemed Spring was peeking through the hold of winter, he could see fresh shoots and herbs growing, and he couldn't wait to get his paws on the fresh stuff again! Auster's weather had been strange, and sometimes he missed the bite of the northern winds on his skin. While Arke wasn't the largest nor the smallest of his siblings, he was somewhere in between. Luckily for him, he had good stamina and large paws, his pace had eaten the ground as he traveled. Upon reaching the pines, the place looked lonely and desolate...and he felt bad that his father was all alone up here. Searching for the place his dad had been buried, Arke found it rather quickly and once he reached it, the male sat down and stared at the spot where his father rested. "Hi dad...it's me, Arke. I...I'm sorry for not visiting sooner..." He sighed, wishing he could see his father again... "Speak"

The young wolf was wandering around the pines and she was going to make a temporary home in this area. Lyka started to enjoy the land of Ardent. It seemed welcoming, but she didn't know about the packs since she didn't meet any. She wanted to join one though. As long as they were nice.

The femme enjoyed the spring so far. The air smelled brisk and fresh and herbs and flowers were growing everywhere. Then she picked up a scent other than the fresh air. It was a wolf.

She followed the scent, and it smelled like a pack. Oh no. Was she trespassing? Then she found out it was just one lone wolf who seemed like he was down in the dumps.

"Hey, what happened? Are you alright?" The wolf asked, wondering what was up.

He wasn't expecting anyone else to be around here, so he was surprised when a feminine voice broke the silence. "Eh?" He raised his head to see who had spoken, and golden eyes laid upon a smaller woman. Her size somewhat reminded her of his smallest sister, but this woman was a couple of inches taller still. He quickly stood up, feeling somewhat embarrassed that he had been caught talking to himself. But he couldn't help how he felt, even the embarrassment wasn't enough to hide the sadness in his eyes. "I...I uh...I came to visit my dad..." He cleared his throat, trying to keep himself in control of his emotions. "I-I'm sorry, did I disturb you?" "Speak"
