I was finally heading out to Diveen where supposedly I had some wolves related by blood living. I moved through the snow on my mahogany paws, my tail waving lightly behind me as I trotted towards the land of Angels. I had to wonder if I was one of those angels that I kept hearing so much about, or if I was normal. I was curious to what my history was, but at the same time I wasn’t. Even if I liked the blood relatives I found I wouldn’t want to stay with them, I liked Spirane, I was born there and though I may not have had family by blood there I did have family. Alcide had taken me in as his son, giving me brothers and sisters and Leonidas was there too. Still some sadistic part of me wanted to know more about my mother. I didn’t want to know anything of my father, he was terrible for what he did to my mother, to us.

I felt I was at the half way point between the mountain pack and the highland pack. I wondered how long it would be before I made it to Diveen. I felt so alone out in the mainlands, it was so quiet in winter without my friends. The birds who sang were the only comfort I got while growing up. I missed them, every winter I felt so depressed and lonely regardless of the attention I was getting from Alcide now during our training. It wasn’t distracting enough for me I guess.

Soon I found myself at the bank of a frozen river, the light reflecting off of the snow and ice making my golden tipped mahogany brown fur light up like fire. My forest green and bright green streaked eyes went over the water landing on a mostly black wolfess bouncing on the ice and chasing something. I was confused at what she was chasing until I drew a nearer to her and spotted the dark silhouette moving beneath the ice. Being a bit sobersided I never found fun in playing such small games such as that. I had only been so playful in my first weeks of life when everything as it was supposed to be. I was with my sister, my mother and we were all very happy together.

I cleared my throat, not because I wanted to get her attention but the cold was leaving a bit of a frog, ”Hello there Ma’am, do you happen to know how far it is to Diveen?” I had something of an idea, but if I was not going to make it this day I wanted to be sure I found the appropriate place to stay. I was curious about the female as well, perhaps I would learn something about her as well as my destination.
