early morning/overcast
Initially, before he met with his flame, his trip south was supposed to be temporary. It appeared, however, that Greer did not do so well with temporary, for he still remained atop the mountain. His sister had told him to seek out his mountain girlfriend and bring her home if needed, but the longer he remained in the rocky terrain, the more he felt at home.
Of course, home was wherever Kyna was. He could not imagine being anywhere but at her side.
He could try to convince her to follow him to the north and join his sister’s pack, but the Archer knew it would be useless. The scarlet wolf belonged in the mountains and he could not drag her away from them—not to a place where she would never truly be happy. Once winter released its hold on the lands of Lore and the snow began to melt the shadow would bring his flame north to meet his sister, but not to stay. There was potential here, for both of them.
As the morning sun hovered on the horizon the long-legged Archer meandered through the heights. The shadow was restless; winter was wearing him down. Greer had never been fond of the snow, for the frigid substance had nearly claimed his life during his first year. Despite his stint in the tundra Greer had not grown accustom to the cold and he was impatient for the arrival of warmer weather.
The last time he had found himself in the cave his sister had gathered the men of Willow Ridge to try and take leadership away from their uncle. However, the attempt to overthrow Nicolò proved unsuccessful, which prompted Morganna to relocate. Craw and Wraith followed eagerly with Greer not far behind, who had been desperate for a change. His lips twitched at the memory as he climbed down the stone path, seeking refuge from the cold air above. The sounds of his steps echoed around him, disturbing the silence. His legs folded beneath him as he situated himself at the water’s edge, a hard line forming between his brows as he studied the mirror-like surface. Parts of the underground lake were frozen, but the majority of the blue water remained untouched. The cavern had been one of his favourite places to escape to when he had been under Elettra’s rule and he was pleased to find it had not changed since his move north.
