What was it like to be in a pack? Sure, she had spent some time in Iromar but Gaia had never felt like she actually belonged there (though she didn't know it but she had even been born in the swamp lands). What did it feel like to have other wolves who were her family stand by her side and protect her from the horrors that filled the free lands of Moladion? Father and Mother didn't mind the life and it seemed like even her littlest brother was doomed to roam the land as an outcast. But she did not want that life. She wanted a safe place to call home and companions to love her and treat her with respect. Could she find such a life here? Word travelled fast and even the child had heard of the turmoil that had fallen on Spirane. Were things calm again? Was it safe? These were only a few of the many questions that roamed through her mind as she waited for someone to accept her.

It didn't take much longer. From out of the woods came a beautiful wolfess with the whitest fur and soft blue eyes. She hadn't been the one who had brought her to the mountain pack but she reminded Gaia a lot of her. As she approached, the younger female stood awkwardly and bowed her head slightly. Being nice and formal would help her stay on their good side, right? Listening to the stranger talk Gaia discovered that her name was Natu and her greeting was quite pleasant. The older wolf kept her distance so as not to startle the child and spoke in a soft voice. At once Gaia knew she liked her. However, before she could return the greeting some else appeared.

Cae. He was not Dad, but in her mind, he was better. Her littermate and younger brother, Cae had been by her side most of their lives. The bigger wolf has been her protector and best friend. And the more she thought about it the more she realized it really wasn't all that surprising he would be here. Upon learning that his sister had been kidnapped he would let nothing stop him from being by her side when she needed him most. Gaia's tail wagged happily behind her and she leaned into her brother. Having him there gave her strength. Ears perked up for a moment when he spoke, Cae was never much a talker, and she could help but notice his gruff way of asking Natu why she had been taken.

Hoping to prevent a fight, Gaia stood up and moved to stand a little in front of Cae. He was trespassing in these lands and the last thing she wanted was to watch her brother be cast out. Not when she hadn't seen him in so long. "It is nice to meet you, Natu. I am Gaia, and this is my brother, Cae. We are the children of Iblis and Rhae. Please forgive my brother. He is only trying to protect me and does not mean you any harm nor is he threatening your pack. Please don't hurt him. I will do as the law commands and stay within your pack as I am your guest. I have often wondered what Spirane was like. Perhaps I can make it my home. Only time will tell..." Hoping her words had calmed any sort of tension Gaia smiled at Natu and pressed her rump against Cae's shoulder, an unspoken greeting. She wanted him to stay with her, needed him too. It had been so long since she had felt the love of her family and now she may be able to do that in the safety of a pack. A new home.
