For @Greer! Thought it high time to take a visit. (:
I should have come sooner.
There was not changing that now, she knew. Weeks turned into months, and suddenly the seasons changed from the warmth of fall to the threatening chill of autumn. Oh, she loved the weather, loved even more what it threatened to bring – winter reminded her of the mountainside, even if she’d fled into the forest with Aponi at the very beginning of the season. It was cold and stark, just like her beloved Riddle Heights – but that was for another time. Dancing across the sky above was another reminder of the changing seasons, and a stronger reminder still of a very special time, and a very special wolf.
Kyna ran faster. Kyna ran harder, harder than she ever had in her entire life, entire form stretching to its full length as she raced through the forest and over open ground. North, the man had said, and so north she went, following the lights as if they knew just where to take her. It took more than a day and a night, but the solar storms continued, and so did the redhead, resting when the sun was high, and following the dancing lights as soon as they emerged.
It was the massive stone structure in the distance that brought her to a halt, sides heaving as she stared. This seemed like the place, right? For wolves to live? There were many scents in the distance, and with hope in her heart, the girl lifted her chin and sang into the cold air, ignoring the snowflakes that started to fall, that threatened to cover up the beauty lighting up the sky.
“Greer!”
