Ravensblood Forest I never thought to see you again

Hope you don't mind me!  :)

She was on her way out of Ravensblood Forest when the movement beyond the trees caught her attention. Pausing in her tracks with crimson ears tall atop her fine crown, the tawny Frostfur listened quietly. Her gaze found the figure of an wolf unknown to her as she stepped out from between the foliage and as soon as she saw the vibrant hue of the stranger's pelt, Durnehviir's breath hitched. In her mind's eye she saw the sleek frame of her own mother, clear as day, swathed in colours of a Summer sunset. Before she even realised, the tawny beauty was moving tentatively toward this strange wolf, unrealistic optimism gripping her thrumming heart that this newcomer might be a ghost of her uncertain past.

Disappointment drowned this glimmer of hope, however, as she drew nearer and discovered that this female could not be the missing Paarthurnax. What had she been thinking, anyway? That her mother would just walk back into her life? She shook the frustration away, opting to foscus on the stranger who'd come to pause at the borders upon noticing the woods were now inhabited by a budding pack. Tail sweeping high over her rear in a passive display of dominance, the red-tipped Frostfur moved in close to the wolfess to move around her in a circle to better investigate.

Sniffing her shoulder, Durnehviir picked up the scent of others and concluded that this female might not be alone. A glance upward revealed distinctly swollen sides, very obviously heavily pregnant. Rumbling lowly in uncertainty, Durnehviir wondered inwardly if this she-wolf might be chancing her luck looking for a pack to raise her litter.

She decided to give her the benefit of the doubt, however, and cause to halt before their visitor to look upon her with questioning champagne eyes.
