The Northern lands had a certain appeal to them that kept drawing in the alabaster titan. He still wasn't quite sure where he wanted to settle when it came time to bring his pack to fruition, but each day that passed brought that time closer. He just needed a couple more heads to make it a reality. He padded quietly through the pines as he investigated the lands, and so far the place seemed suitable for a pack. The scents of prey in the area was strong and rich, likely one of the places that caribou passed during their migration along with other animals, but he wasn't much of the hunter type to know for sure. Elara would know far more than him when it came to prey patterns, but if he had to guess? This was probably a very good prey spot.
As the days passed, Ace was sure that he wanted to lead a pack. He wasn't so unsure about it like he had been before, and he would strive to do what he could to make this a reality. While he had his doubts about leaving Abaven, he knew this would be in his best interest. He could make his own decisions based on his own judgments without repercussions. While he didn't mind following others, Ace had always been one to do what he thought was the best course of action, and he felt he was limited in that aspect when it came to serving in Abaven. Of course, the thought about what happened during that big show at the battlefield weeks prior had done well to remind him of that and really show him that he wasn't in as much control as he would have liked.
Still, he felt he owed a lot to Shaye and Rhyme for taking them in and teaching his niece and nephew things he probably couldn't have taught them. So in a way, he felt he was in their debt. But there was always ways to repay that debt...and after the humiliation and embarrassment Shaye had done to him that day, he felt it may have been paid by his not challenging for the pack. Then again, he couldn't say for sure if that would happen or not. Not unless Shaye had done something worse. He knew she was acting as the alpha and not as a friend that day...but he still couldn't get past it, no matter how hard he tried. She had said once that she'd fight beside him and this and that and the other thing. But all he could really think when he thought about what she said was assuming she just told him what she thought he wanted to hear during his vulnerable state. He was confused if he was honest with himself...
But perhaps after he took his leave, he'd be less confused. He wasn't totally sure yet.

While he was still relatively new to these lands, there was nowhere he didn't feel more comfortable than in glacial, wintry lands that were characteristic of most northern regions. The frigid wind in the colder months that weaved its way through his spiky fur, the blanket of snow covering the ground. A harsh landscape - but one he preferred. So it only made sense that if he were to explore these lands, he would start up here. Even if the weather was getting warmer with spring. |

The northern breeze ruffled his coat as he lifted his head and turned it into the wind. Eyes slid shut for a moment as he breathed in the crisp, fresh air. It was moments like this that reminded him of things past. Things that could have been...things that should have been. He wasn't sure if he'd ever be able to get over Winter. The one woman in his life that had saved him. The woman that had shown him what love really was. He believed she lived on in spirit. Watching over him. He didn't believe in Ruina's ancient demons. But he did believe there was a life beyond this one where wolves went after death. Perhaps even more than one place depending on how they lived...
And Winter? Her spirit lived in the most beautiful place he could imagine. Far from Hell and in a place far more beautiful than Heaven. A place where wolves with her strength went to live out the rest of their immortal days the way they deserved.
He hoped that one day, he'd be able to join her.
A greeting interrupted his thoughts. Head turned to find another male approach him, scarred visage not wholly unfriendly. Crimson gaze rested on the males face, noticing that only one good icy blue orb looked at him. He had never seen this male before, nor had he come across his scent in the past. "Good afternoon," He greeted in turn. The russet toned male asked if he was aligned with a pack, a question that got him thinking again. "I am at the moment, residing in Abaven. But I plan on leaving soon to start a pack of my own." Might as well be honest, right?
