Northstar Vale if the car beside you moves ahead

Now that Eleuthera had found her brother, she would not deign to lose him again. As big of a dork as he was, he had always been her northern star, and while apart she found that she had only been half a soul — half a wolf. Being reunited with him, even for as short of a time as she had been, was so restorative to her very being that she found the bitter cold no longer bothered her, that she was smiling brightly at almost every moment, and she relented to let Séamus steward her back to the home he had found in her absence. It made sense that he would have found stability, while Eleuthera’s world had continued to be a hobbled-together mass of ill thought-out decisions. He had always been the one who more easily made friends.

By the time the two had arrived at Courtfall, Eleuthera knew why these lands felt so familiar — the place of their every childhood memory was located just north of here. Eleuthera easily recalled the purification of the willows, the ease and calmness to the place just as easily as the strife and drama that was prominent amongst the sanctuary’s many pups. She also knew what fate had unfortunately befallen Elysium and her mothers and though it made her eternally sad, there was little room for sadness now. Something had happened that Eleuthera had begun to doubt would ever happen — her reunion with her long lost brother — and she eagerly awaited what might come next.

Right outside of Courtfall's borders, the two siblings paused and her brother let out several passive barks, calling any leadership who might be nearby or interested to attend them.

The siblings weren’t waiting long before someone heeded their call. This didn’t surprise Eleuthera — Séamus had told her that this pack was veritably thriving despite the plague that had overcome these lands, and that it was likely it could sustain them throughout the rest of winter. Amidst their conversations, her brother had expressed that he had taken a liking to Courtfall and expressed a small desire to stay here for the semi-long-term (nothing was truly ever long-term where these two were concerned). Eleuthera promised she would evaluate Courtfall for the same purpose.

The lilac woman supposed the wolf who attended their calling was not their leader, for he neither bothered to raise his standard high (as leaders were wont to do) not did he match the description of the pale, softspoken fae that her brother had told her of. Still, this was a member of the pack, and the idea of meeting her potential pack mates sent a quiver of energy down her spine. “Yes sir,” she responded, giving Séamus a glance that bespoke I got this.

The tip of her plump, winter borne tail dusted the earth at the back of her hocks. “I seek to join my brother amongst your ranks,” Eleuthera spoke with a quiet confidence — one of a woman who had scarcely been denied anything in her life, and didn’t pause to think that maybe it might start now. Eleuthera trusted her circumstances far too much for that. But still… “Given that you have the space, of course,” It always did her well to appear humble.
