thirteen - no heart - Heyel's soul - Spirane
sister of warlow, dam of none
this is her in blackouts

It would seem that Ailith had the same idea as Natu originally had; steal a wolf that was young, untried, untested. A wolf that was a loner who might, if coaxed, find they enjoy the life of a pack. Spirane had been too long a husk of a pack. The shell of greatness had been shed with the fang of Purge and the subsequent squabbling afterwards but Daenerys had come back to take her place as the alpha. She would be a great leader. It was already noticeable in the change of attitude in the pack not to mention the influx of bodies that her presence had seemed to draw. She would be the sun in which they would revolve and Natu was okay with this. She was worthy of such attention and devotion. In the short time here she had already awarded Natu for her work and skill and finally the alabaster female felt as if things were changing. She had power over her destiny and a strength born of rage; Gaia would not know that Natu despised those of Iromar. The scar that stands across her shoulder blades and above her right eye are the consequence of an encounter with Lillith, the sneaky little wench.

She had seen her friend bring in the young female and now Gaia seemed lost. From the motherly instincts that have always been a large part of Natu she can tell the marigold girl is uncertain of her future here. Spirane is nothing like the nasty creatures of the swamplands. They would not harm such a child; nay, they'd bend around her to protect her. She paces through the coniferous trees towards the newly stolen girl and a smile graces her lips; there is a gentleness to Natu when it came to children. The harshness of the last two years has begun to fade but it has left a new female in its wake.

She and Ailith resemble one another with their pure white pelts and icy blue eyes and they had grown to be close friends. It was Ailith who had saved her from certain death and Natu had come to care a great deal for her. If not for the scars on her body and the shorter fur than her friend she thinks the girl might be confused between them. Until they spoke - Ailith had a strange way of talking. Wherever Ailith had gotten off to it was no doubt she'd be back to check up on Gaia. For now, Natu would do the honors.

She stops a good few feet away from the girl, assessing the way her back legs curve out and the way she shifts in discomfort. Maybe she should feel pity for Gaia but she only feels a sense of pride. The girl had to be strong to have managed as a loner with her own physical issues and strength was to be admired, not frowned. "Welcome to Spirane, Gaia. I am Natu, friend of Ailith's. No need to be worried, no harm will come to you here. We simply seek to bring those that might not normally come as a chance to show our home in hopes that maybe, after a time, you might come to enjoy it here."

Tilting her head to the side she smiles gently. "You have had a long walk here I think. Are you hungry? I have a beaver that awaits eating but alas, I find I am not very hungry."
