Ankyra Sound Deliver us

For @Ingram and perhaps even @Lycaon

She had lost most of what she had dreamed of in a matter of months. Her family, who's ghostly faces she still haunted her dreams. The pack in the mountains that she was supposed to lead - a promise she couldn't keep yet again. A charming boy that had given her his heart, lost to the freezing winds of winter. Chusi had never felt more alone than in the ending of the year, unknowingly spending the first day of Christmas in a globe of loneliness. So what better thing for her to do than return to the coast - the place she knew to be more sacred than any other. No forest could match the bleeding of the trees in Ravensblood Forest, and there she wanted to go again. Perhaps remnants of her past lay there, pieces of memories that she could learn from.

And then she would go and seek her father, mother, brothers and sisters. She missed them more than she could express and hoped they were still around. If not... She had no idea what to do if she could not find them anywhere. Though she believed to have had many friends as a littler girl, most of them would have forgotten about her right about now.

Her graceful yet quite thin form found a way over the salty beaches of The Sound, head hung low and nose breathing in the salty smell that brought back unwanted thoughts.
