You were the brightest shade of sun when I saw you - Waawaashkeshi - May 12, 2025
Helloo Summerwalkers! This is our celebratory howl (yay!) Feel free to have your wolf chime in and I'll archive at the end of the week.
The little pairing in the copse had grown greatly in past weeks, leaving Waawaashkeshi overjoyed. Maybe she did not have her family behind her anymore, not by blood, but she still had a family.
The Summerwalkers would live, and with time they would thrive. Her children would grow and one day she hoped to see generations surpass her. Generations of children who knew to follow the birds, generations who would know of her stories and keep them alive far past her time.
How could one not feel joy at such prospects?
Sat outside her whelping den, Waawaashkeshi lifted her head to howl to her new band of Summerwalkers. The songstresses, the healers, the young, the free, and the stubborn alike.
RE: You were the brightest shade of sun when I saw you - Merel - May 12, 2025
In this open woodland where light always shone through the broken canopy, there were few places to hide. One she-wolf rested alone in the shade of a large oak, her dark pelt blending with the forest floor. Even now, some habits refused to die.
The golden mother had accepted her, but Merel knew she was not one of them. What was left of her home was buried under cold stone and ash. Her family had either returned to the earth themselves, or were lost like her. In her heart, she knew she was not the Merel that had played in long, swaying grasses and splashed through brooks. That woman was dead.
Yet when Waawaashkeshi’s voice filled the warming air, it pulled on the pieces of her that remained. For a moment they aligned in her mind like fragments of stained glass.
The Blackbird lifted her head and joined the Summerwalkers in song.

"Come! Come to the dawn of song
Where all rejoice of these things small;
So long as blades of grass still reach for sun,
We too shall dance in epochs of sunrise."
All of them. All of these Summerwalkers, finding new families in a hearth of life-singers. A'yan could not help but find herself filled to the brim with joy. Who had known that the light of a teeming copse would bring together so many Summerwalkers?
The grass swished in melodious harmony; the trees carried tunes of ancient and the stories of now; the clouds laid upon them a blessing of distant songs. She thought of Halfshatter now - the babbling creeks away in the past, the laughter of children in a kind corner of the world...
...and realized she had truly found that raw joy again.
It was A'yan of the present, not Wood-Eye of Halfshatter, who raised her head to the watching sky and howled.

Sunchaser had often found that his nickname rung true.
He never seemed to stay in one place anymore, always chasing the sun as though he were trying to catch it. But now in the copse, he felt that he had found his sun. The world was quiet here, faces unfamiliar but welcoming all the same. It was a new start, a fresh page.
Here he was Galathilion "Sunchaser" Nuiruk no longer, but Sunchaser of the Summerwalkers. Lifting his head, he joined his packmates in song.

In some ways it seemed that the Summerwalkers were something she'd dreamed up: a strange mirror of the best times of her childhood all mashed together. Travelers and traders, singers and dancers; these were the things her mother had raised her daughters to be. Fox fit into the pack like a glove.
It was almost uncomfortable. Almost like the way she felt around that annoying boy. Sunchaser.
Still, when the howl went up, she joined without a second thought.

She did not know that her thoughts would run along her own blood's.
Nor had she anticipated the fact that their paths would both lead them here, to this place not so unfamiliar in its ways.
Her own voice joined in to supply strength — and warmth.
