we meet again

As time progressed, she got stronger and stronger, regaining everything she once had and potentially more. She needed to get stronger, though. Protecting her children and being there for them when they needed her were of her utmost priority, aligned with making sure Medusa also have everything that she needed. She would never leave them without her support again, but for some reason she strayed farther than she had in the last week or so since her return. The scent of a pack stunk, however she could tell even now that the borders hadn't been marked in a few days at least, perhaps even a week.

To the best of her knowledge, this used to be where most of the Kleins had called home. A boy she once liked lived here, in a pack called Ashen. However the stale scent didn't match what she remembered, and instead smelled different, somewhat foreign to her. She hardly cared though and assumed that they were gone, either disbanded or moved. She had always wondered what had lied within the forbidden territory, and now she had her chance.

Purple water glowed and it was surrounded by beautiful white bark trees and some stones with familiar runes sketched into them. The place was gorgeous in her eyes, a mystical yet ominous feel that made her skin crawl in a good way. Perhaps she could convince Medusa to move Insomnia here, but it was truthfully a silly thought and laughed softly to herself. She supposed she could at least stay for the day and venture back home this evening, giving her ample time to explore this shrine and perhaps even the islands near by if she were lucky enough.

But for now she would rest her legs and relaxed at the edge of the glowing water, looking within and wondering what was making it such a pretty color. She could only assume magic, but magic wasn't real... right?

"Speech!"
