Sound the bugle now

Life as a loner gave Erika the habit of waking early to start moving before others did. Now that she was in a pack, she had no reason to, but old habits die hard. She decided to take a walk on the mountainside. This particular morning saw the mountains strewn with mist.....which reminded her of a song.

"Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
The pines were roaring on the height,
The winds were moaning in the night.
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light."

She was singing it softly when Jinx's howl interrupted her. It was a summons, nothing urgent, but the black wolf felt the need to answer it. Turning towards the howl, she broke into a run, still singing the song.

"Far over the misty mountains grim
To dungeons deep and caverns dim
We must away, ere break of day,
To win our harps and gold from him!"
