Not all that glitters is made of gold;

A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities.

Caladwen was making an effort. She was not necessarily a pack creature by nature, the life of an omega was one that in general stayed on the rather gray lines that blurred often one way or the other. Mentally she strived to be like all the others, to feel eternally devoted to a single goal, to belong to a pack and be considered family.

It wasn't until Ezio came into her life that Caladwen found herself feeling that strange, strong urge to stir her into motion. Driving her towards the Diveen packlands and the comfort that the connect with him promised. So far her time here had not been spent wisely. Grant it she had taken the time to learn the borders here, roaming here and there leaving not a trace of her passing save for the occasional paw print to mark her journey. Since arriving here, though his scent surrounded her, Caladwen had yet to meet up with the older male that managed to touch her soul. Actually she hadn't seen Voltaire either but she had heard his voice calling out in the night and caught glimpses of his lean frame among those gathered in meeting and deep in conversation. Ever the wary one she had not attempted to join them, at least not yet anyway but maybe soon she would find herself among their number.

Today was like any other, my lithe little black wanderer found herself roaming through the shadows, flitting from one thicket to another, slender frost tipped muzzle bent to the soil, sifting through the various scents of decaying plant life and fungi, toying with each scent in search of rabbit, squirrel, chipmunk and deer; tasting the flavors in attempts to discern the fresh from stale when she discovered it. Ezio.

Excitement glittered in her brilliant yellow-gold eyes as the thick black plume of her tail began to wave unbidden as she inhales the testosterone scent once more as if to assure herself that it was not a dream and in fact reality. It is there, Ezio has passed by and not very long ago. A smooth grin works its way across the delicate curve of her muzzle as my little darkling abandons her current task and instead turns her focus on finding the long lost male.

It does not take her long to spy him, lounging lazily on a high hillock, admiring the green landscape around him with what appeared to her as a rather bored expression. For a moment she ponders remaining where she stood, merely admiring the sleek shine of his silver tinted coat. Black ears swivel atop her head as once more the confusion that seeing him summoned within her. Though her heart longed to race to his side and bury her muzzle in the curve of his neck where for some reason she knew she would fit so perfectly... her mind still reeled at how she could feel so strongly for a creature who was still nothing more than a complete mystery to her.

None the less, she knew that if she didn't make the approach on her own, it would not take him long to uncover her scent and meet her eyes when perhaps she was not quite ready for him to. With golden eyes glittering, my lithe darkling trots towards him, a coy smile curving across her closed lips. "Ezio..." she purrs, tilting her proud head towards him as she paused a few feet from his side, "Its been awhile... where did you disappear too?"
