She would return to the caverns she had been residing in and loose a call to the young matriarch and her younger sister-in-law. Hopefully the girls were close by. It still surprised the queen that she was ruled by one so young, but it did not make her respect or care for the girl any less. Natalya, though simply a married member of the family, had grown to care for each and every Olympus whether or not she showed it regularly to those outside her immediate "household."



The lands she had stumbled upon today had felt perfect, and she longed to share her discovery with her dear Helios so he could describe the vision to her and confirm her feelings. Natalya wished that he and their children could be with her now, but she had to accept that they would be in due time. Once the whole family was here they could begin to rebuild in the new territory that had enough space for living, hunting, and training. After that, Olympus would dominate this land with it's power and name. It was a right passed down only through birth and marriage, something the inhabitants of Alacritia would soon understand.

talk, think

So much land to explore! So many wolves to meet! This whole new land of 'Alacritis' was so exciting and new, Pehoebe couldn't wait to take it all in. But a voice caught her attention and pulled her from her trail. Ah, her dear sister-in-law. Family was a precious thing. All the new things could wait till she spend some time with Natalya surely. She turned her path, following the echo of the howl to a thin opening in the mountain. She paused, her silver gave tracing the opening from bottom to top curiously, wondering what her sister-in-law could be doing in such a cave. She padded forward, her paws lightly touching the ground and barely making a sound on the dirt as she entered. Once her eyes adjusted to the gloom of the cave she searched out Natalya, her gaze finally landing on her as Phoebe moved further into the cave. "Ahhhh, there you are, dear sister," she cooed, prancing forward with a smile and brushing her side up against the other woman's. They were sisters by marriage, of course, but she was family to Phoebe all the same. Her bright silver gaze glanced around the cave as she asked, "What have you got here, Natalya?" Speech Thought Others

The scents that caught her nose were familiar, beloved. Each passing smell that wafted up her nostrils was like home, and oh how her heart had ached for it! As the matriarch, the girl had been sent ahead, to scout the lands, to find potential, to establish power. The wound on her leg had prevented that, although now it was healing, the infection on its way out. Her fever was still abnormal, but she was better. Upon finding the source, her heart sped up, eyes softening and posture losing its stiffness. Her aunts.

Paws carried her forwards, and she sought to press her head against Phoebe's right shoulder and offering a kiss before moving, hoping to press a similar kiss to Natalya's left cheek. Her lips quirked into a smile, and finally she felt home. At least two members of her family were alive and well, and although the rest remained to be seen, she could deal with knowing that at the very least she wasn't going to be alone anymore. "Aunt Nat, Aunt Phoebe," she greeted affectionately. She'd missed them, after all.

As each of the women arrived, Natalya returned their affections with gentle nudges of her own. She smiled, glad that they had heard her and come so fast. It was much more comforting to have family present - now she desired only the company of her beloved Helios and their children to comfort her further. They were her world, and being separated felt very much like torture to the rigid queen.



Sister Phoebe, Lady Virgil, she said with a very brief and slight bow. I found a beautiful plain - somewhere where we can reside until we are able to claim a more permanent home for our family. I could smell a number of creatures there, and there were vast spaces as well as trees in the area. I only wish someone had been there to see it with me.
