Faint as it was, Uriel was diligant. She had few to claim to the ward,, but one was injured, and the other was weak to sunlight- she counted herself the sole heir to bring up the group. Even then she truly didn't know if they placed faith within Skyward. She kept at it, letting others beware that someone was trying, but of course the lioness could not prevent all, as many went through, and stayed within. The woods were so vast, how could she find them all?

The phoenix, however, did find one. A gray figure laid by a tree, carefree as she groomed. Uriel approached, "You are in a claimed territory." There was no malice, nor' kindness, only facts given as silver eyes gazed stoicly at this wolf.

There was an ease in tension, for there was no hostility presented, and an apology given, "You are forgiven," Uriel said with now a smile. She was rather friendly to those who provided no malice intentions, as she knew she could not hold fault to them all. Her claim is so small, and not even official to all, how can she hold the entire world accountable to simple mistakes. Not to mention- there was always forgiveness in the sanctuary she so desired. It was the hope, for a new start for herself, and any who wished to stay.

"It is new," a hope to be, "I am Uriel of Skyward, who are you?"

"It is indeed." The woods were more vast then of beauty, but more was to be within, especially with the newfound plot Hemlocke had discovered, and only more to come. With such a large forest there was plenty to see, and still to cover. Slowly did they go, and she'll continue to do.

"Not many," Uriel admitted but didn't specify their numbers, "but we're always welcoming more."

Uriel couldn't help but be excited if the chance made it's way, as it so rarely did. She met few by sheer chance, and the others were not the best exchange, or already had been pledged to another. Two to call friends, and two to call to the ward, there was no one to properly become a pack, much less the very faint border they had. "Rebirth."

"In here, may your past be forgiven and forgotten, if you so wish. No care to who you once were, and a new beginning- just as I wish to do so as well." The lioness refrains from speaking of who she was, and what had been done in the past, and has no intention to reveal what was. She was now but a phoenix, rebirthed to Uriel, and to the creation of Skyward, so others can be of the same. A home to the values she wished to continue onwards.

It was why she felt so conflicted when the feelings of bitterness toward the two Legion members remained.. A hypocrite, to say the least.

"Rebirth is not a singular path," Uriel would never wish for someone who held their past dear, to forget, "rebirth can be improvement, to advise yourself to a better you." She only wished for a sanctuary, a place people may improve the lives they once had, be it forgetting who they once were, or harboring it as a strength, and fortifying their views, "so yes, it is optional."

"We are numbered by few, the help is always needed." She gave a pitied smile, not to the other, but to herself. The days have been long since arriving at Teekon, but only time could tell who would wander to her ward.

Uriel smiled brightly, not expecting a new member this fast, nor' as diligant. She enjoyed Holly and Hemlocke, but one seemed free like the bird, and the other was a night-dweller. She needed warriors especially, to protect the ward and to serve the Major, "Welcome to Skyward Nigaq."

"Stay as long as you need to."

"I believe in you." She liked to believe the lioness had good eyes, her silvers could see that the other would be a good worker, a good member of the ward. She had no doubts the other would work hard and definitely wished to see her more.. Though, a gray bird would sprout to a pheonix, and Uriel didn't want to hold her back when the time comes.
