The call reached her while she was trailing some big horns she had scented earlier that morning. Her intent is not to hunt, merely to scout where the herbivores would take shelter this winter, what corner of the mountain they would choose to gather close together and survive the bitter temperatures the cold months ahead would bring. Typically it was the southern slope, so as to block most of the northern winds that would whip across the mountainside so fiercely, and this year proved no different. Cresting a small rise her aquamarine eyes had just glimpsed them through the thick trunks of the pines when her golden son called to her.

Like a flash of light she is off, agile paws eating up the treacherous terrain of rock and cliff while a smile stretches wide across her foxlike features. It had been months since she had last laid eyes upon the son who most resembled herself. His golden coat reflected her own, save for the white the circled his eyes and his scruff, most like her out of all their children save for his eyes. Those eyes were his fathers, she knew, though which one she would never say for both had such brilliant, opalescent eyes that could have created Constantine’s own.

It takes her almost no time at all to navigate the familiar trails and find the group of young boys on the borders of Spirane. She barks to announce her approach as she nears them, stopping by her son to lick the golden space between his white brows before stepping back and looking at them. She wasn’t entirely sure how to feel about her son wandering with the three other boys, and what exactly their plan is together, but she is content to know at least that he is not alone in the world. They might make an intimidating group to some, but she knew almost all of their parents should they be looking to misbehave. Of course they probably wouldn’t have called her if that was the case. “Hello Constantine, boys. What brings you to the mountains?” she asks finally, her light voice filling the space between them. She wasn’t sure what, exactly, she could do for the pups but whatever it was she would no doubt try.
