Wheeling Gull Isle i'm merely contemplating what you feel inside

set a day or so after seeing grimnismal. @Spiritwalker @Sorrel Marie @Coelacanth @Stockholm and any other interested Undersea wolves welcome! if we could let the MOS wolves post first, so we can cross, that would be excellent

the encounter with grimnismal had rattled him, slightly. it wasn't because he was so naive to believe that there were packs out there who not only eschewed company but did so with a snarl--every band of wolves was different. but every other pack he'd met so far in these lands had been welcoming, if terse, and to see such hostility, so close to his new border, disturbed him. he hoped grayday and easy had been given a better reception on the cliffs.

but his heart lightened as they approached closer to coelacanth's territory, the disappointment from before being replaced by gleeful anticipation. he was looking forward to catori's reunion with his cousin, and to see his friend again--as well as the island where he had once found respite.

they made good time, the isle being not so far away from the sound, and with a clear path, too--no mountains, this time. soon, he caught sight of the small mountains, dark humps against a gleaming afternoon sun, and his tail wagged, signaling for catori and sorrel to stop alongside him.

he cast an uneasy look at his companions. when he had first left the isle, he had swam the channel. not a terribly long voyage, and he had regained his strength well enough to do it. (he hadn't been without a little wanderlust, either.) catori he didn't doubt as much, for pregnancy often made women stronger and her excitement to see her cousin would surely push her through. but sorrel? aditya hummed under his breath, dubious. he wondered if he ought to call for seelie, here. . .

as if by magic, a thin strip of land caught his eye. tilting his head in curiosity, aditya trotted to the edge of the water, where he found--praise god!--a land bridge, stretching from the mainland all the way to the island. the tide must have been high when aditya had swam the channel; he wouldn't have done so if this marvel had been at his disposal!

"all right, let's go see coelacanth," aditya said, face splitting into a beaming grin.
