Skeletal Hill Crucible

☾ I'm the violence in the pouring rain, baby I'm a hurricane ☽

Smaller bones would crunch loudly under ebony paws as they remained hidden under the powdery blanket of snow until it was much too late to avoid damage. Not that she really cared but at least she could claim it wasn't her fault. She shrugged slightly as Inna suggested a memorial either, it was possible but in all reality all they could do was guess. The answer would never be handed to them and the mind would be left wandering and unsatisfied. She'd grumble lowly at the numbing sensations crawling up her legs having started in her paws and would lift each limb to shake it out irritably.

She'd shift her piercing gaze to the other as she continued to speak of the 'great unknown' outside of the lore, perhaps an almost longing look lingering in her orange gaze? Diana could understand that she supposed, if for some reason she thought she had no reason to be here then Diana could relate to how trapped that could make you feel. She'd smile slightly to herself as Inna continued to reassure herself of how she could manage it there if it was just like a larger version of the lore. Of course the difference was the lore was an area dominated by wolves, in the real world there were areas not quite so like that. But she nodded anyway and simply murmured. Guess you could say that She'd nod too when the other ebony fae responded to her words about survival during these months. Exactly, you'll be fine she'd state crisply- noting the newfound confidence seeming to lace the others words now that she had pep talked herself into being able to survive. Funny how words from yourself of even a complete stranger can make you feel so much better.

Her tail would twitch from side to side as she continued to pick her way over the bone littered snow. The wind was picking up slightly as it whistled between the bare trunks and tugged at the tips of her dark fur. Her ears would twitch eagerly as Inna spoke. A slightly exaggerated frown would crease her features as she'd tilt her head to the side at the woman's words. She gave her the bare minimal of details anyway and she'd let fake innocence leak right into her soft voice as she murmured. Well that seems quite rude doesn't it..for them to just not let you follow? Her eyes would narrow slightly as she gazed at Inna. She was curious to see just how much talking this wolf could really do. Maybe she'd refuse to say anything more or maybe she'd be willing to talk about it a bit more. Nevertheless she left her words there, not wanting to make it look too much like she was overly prying.

The snow hid most of the bones from their sight which made it difficult to avoid stepping on all of them. In a was guilty of stepping on a few as she felt her paws come down on them much too late to stop herself without stumbling. She knew she should have felt bad for it but she did not know who or what the bones belonged to. The thought that the place could be a memorial had crossed her mind but seeing some of the bones that were there it didn't exactly make sense. She continued deeper into the area in search of any clues that she was starting to believe they wouldn't find.

She was curious about life outside the lore as it seemed the best place for her. There was only one thing that she needed to consider before she made that decision. Oksana, could she leave her daughter and never see her again? Give her the same anger that she had once felt each time one of her family members left her. Wasn't that what had set her down the path that led her to having lost everything she cared about? In a wasn't blind to the fact that everything had a domino affect, everything was intertwined. It seemed no one else realized this so therefore could not see their parts in her downfall. Thinking of the world outside the lore as just a bigger version of it helped it to become more fathomable in her mind. It also made it easier for her to not feel so overwhelmed by the thought of it. And Diana seemed confident that she would be fine. “I suppose there is only one way to find out. It's just not so easy leaving a place you have grown up in.” She’d loved the lore but for her to think of leaving it she felt that it was clear that love had waned.

As for her and being in a pack, she explained what had happened and why the scent was slowly fading from her coat. She shrugged at the comment, “They think they are justified and refuse to see the truth. It's easier to throw the problem away than to deal with it despite them claiming I was family.” It was all lies as far as she was concerned, she'd been lied to on multiple occasions and yet they were mad at her for lying. It was what it was she supposed, nothing could be done about it now. She didn't even know if she cared if anything was ever fixed anymore. It was time to move on from that part of her life and get a fresh start somewhere else just like they had.
