Sunbeam Lair catch a falling star

Location: At the borders of the Ryūjin packlands. I couldn't leave the post without a prefix, so I had to choose Sunbeam Lair. I swear Yllka is not trespassing! D:

It had been almost a week now since Yllka had arrived at the Teekon Wilds. The weather has made her stop her journey further north. She had already traveled quite far and being alone had made the trek even harder. Her diet had consisted of things like mice and voles with the occasional rabbit or hare. Maybe a bird, if she could manage it. – She wasn't the best at catching birds. Most thought that because she was uncommonly large and rather lithe meant she was graceful and agile… but that wasn't always the case. – Yllka had been trying to hunt a vole when she came to the border of the pack's territory she now sat near. The need to find a pack was more important than food at the moment. There was no way she could survive the winter without finding one. And it didn't feel like coincidence to the wolf that she came to a pack's borders.

She hadn't seen any wolves come or go, but she had the occasional feeling of being watched. She thought that she saw a pair of eyes peering at her once, but they were gone in a blink of an eye. The giantess wondered if maybe the eyes she had seen were a scout or simply a pack member. If they had been of the upper echelon of the pack, she assumed, that the wolf would have approached her. Wasn't that how it worked? Yllka didn't really know. She had been born into her former pack and had been a scholar, studying the stars and learning their stories. Her head has been mostly in the clouds then and she realized, during this journey, how little of the world she understood. She only knew the heavens and her only friends were the stars.

The great she-wolf breathed a soft sigh. What a pathetic life she had lived thus far. A life of study wasn't really a life, was it? She had knowledge of the sky and the gift of stories, but little else. That's what has compelled her to leave her former pack. She needed more—wanted more, and she wasn't going to find it there. Maybe she could find it within the lands of this pack: that's what she hoped.
