She had listened to the calls, the challenge and the battle. Once the song of victory rang through the land a small smile flickered across the woman’s face. Life was a curious thing indeed! Getting to her feet, the chocolate and red woman loped casually to the boarders of the mountains. She did not believe she needed to worry about the fate of her friend. Tithe was strong enough to fend off any attacks, and she doubted Roman would try to hurt him. But the grey male had searched his life for something to stand for, had found it in his pack, and it had just been ripped away. Physical wounds were nothing compared to what she could imagine would go through Tithe’s mind. She knew she could be one to sooth his mind and put him at peace. A lifetime of friendship meant a lot to them.

Just as she was concerned for her childhood friend, she was excited for the gypsy man who had claimed his place. Those who could find their home, and make it their own were souls that could finally put their paws to rest. It excited her that her friend had found what he was looking for in his life, and that he had welcomed the rest of her friends on the other side of his borders. His call was one to ask for a celebration, and she would indeed cheer in his name! Sing his songs of victory, and celebrate with the others of the band that one of their own had made his dreams come true.

There was yet another call to this gathering. Of course there would be some who would not like to stay under the rule of a new Alpha. Many found homes with company instead of lands. Some would feel the restlessness that was all too common in her kind to allow them to move to a neighboring pack. The arms of the gypsies were always open to those who had lost what they had and needed to once again find what they were looking for. So long as she lived, they would never have to look alone.

As she crossed into the mountains, Taika raised her voice to answer Roman, her pace picking up to a run. She raced through the trails, growing more excited by the new smells, the new sights, and the sounds of Spirane she had never experienced. Coming upon the slowly gathering crowd she immediately recognized her friend, Morrigan. Laughing, she launched herself at the other woman before dancing around Roman, panting happily for him. I am so happy for you, Roman! I am glad you found your home! She grinned, sitting to the side, though her body still vibrated. And that the gypsies are welcome. As are the friends of the gypsies? Taika looked pointedly at a large black and grey wolf that lingered just outside of the gathering. Tithe, was watching with wary interest.
