It was becoming more clear each and every day that Ravenna, along with her sister and brother, was growing up far more swiftly then their mother would have liked. Of course, this was not the only time Elettra had felt such a way, fearing that her children that relying on her so much would soon feel as though they no longer required not only her consistent company, but her advice and direction. The Matriarch had little problems when it came to her children, however, as Asriel, Castiel and Deacon had gone off to explore and further spread the name of 'Archer'. Greer and Morganna had remained home, prideful of their territory and their family name, who may one day take charge in her place. There was only one bad egg it seemed in the family, a bad egg which Elettra had otherwise dismissed since the last pack meeting. The mother wonders how who her newest litter would form and where that formation would take them - to stay here at home, another loving family member under the ranks like Nicolo and Adele? Would they explore the world beyond their pack, like Deacon, or to other worlds like Asriel?
Elettra smiles down at her daughter, who waves her tail wildly, her head held high and her tongue lolly from parted, panted mouth.
"How far will we go ma?" Ravenna wonders as she hurries along her mother, each of her mother's step mimicked by two or three of her own. Still, she had grown well enough to come along whilst other members of the pack made small hunts, standing far on the side-lines to watch. The hunt excited Ravenna, though traveling and exploring with her mother suited her interest more somehow.
"To the borders, but then we must turn around." It was often what her mother said, though never did Elettra allow Ravenna to cross the borders, even with mother at her side. It was 'too dangerous' and Ravenna believed her. How could she not?
It was only when the words of another startled Ravenna that she ducked to her mother's flank who equally stopped and stiffened. Ravenna did her best to show her strength as the most dominant, fearless pup in her litter when she was amongst her siblings and Sven, though with her other she held no ounce of shyness and question. Elettra's nose lifted, sniffing the air and she nudged her muzzle forth, giving Ravenna the 'o.k.' for them to continue forth, where here Nicolo was and an unknown, very pale white wolf - like Sven, only much larger. Ravenna's mouth moved like an 'o'. She had never seen a wolf with two different colored eyes before!
"...Your eyes!" She peeps, half under her breath. Though quickly does her mother motion her by a shove at her rump to join Nicolo's side. Ravenna listens and silently moves to tug herself behind her uncle.
"....Surely a Cedar wolf has no business here." Elettra adds this on with her younger brother's question, her head lifting high and her tail low yet stiff behind her. Elettra did not know that the enemy of her ally, Cut Rock River, had otherwise moved locations. Obviously smelling of the Cedar forest, he had to ether be of this pack or of Rook's little 'gang' which had yet to be told that their pack had finally formed to reinstate Grizzly Hollow, though Rook had formerly suggested that this was likely to pass. Elettra's pale silver gaze shifted, taking note of the cluster of herbs which were settled by the base of one of the various willow trees in her home. The last cluster had been delivered to her and now she could place a face to the wolf who was bringing them. It reminded her of the time when @
Angier delivered her simpler gifts and now this Lyall was, but why? After all, he was playing for the opposite team... Still, a sigh passes her lips. She had only known one wolf to hold mismatched eyes and now directly from her blood her children had them. As she looked back at Ryvet, there was no mistaking his relation.
