The Sunspire The Hopeful Call [Joining]

She was weary after travelling for so long, but her paws felt lighter at the thought of finally reaching their destination. Mismatching eyes glanced over her shoulder at the golden orb spreading its rays high in the blue summer sky. Only three months had passed since she left her family to start her life anew, but she felt much older than that. Time was indeed a funny thing, deceiving all those who believed it constant and unwavering. So much had changed since her dear brother died, and she still felt lost, unable to find her purpose in the world

Luna turned away from the view, her pure white coat shimmering with reflected golden light. The wolf’s intense gaze fixed upon the path ahead, for that was all that mattered now; the past was best left in the past. She picked up her pace, her elegant tail swishing after the white figure in rhythm with her steps. Her pointed ears remained perked and attentive, intently listening to the unfamiliar sounds surrounding her and looking out for signs of other wolves.

Abruptly the girl stopped, her senses informing that she was now just beyond the border. One more step and there would be heavy consequences for trespassing the pack’s territory. She could only guess at what that may entail from her past experiences and none of them were pleasant. But that was the least of her worries, for today, her intentions were far from doing harm. In fact, it was the complete opposite.

Her muzzle broke into a genuine smile for the first time in months. She had finally done it, although she understood the hardest part was still ahead. Luna had no idea what would happen and what kind of expectations they would bring upon her, but she was determined to face them all in order to find a stable home here.

The girl stood still for a moment, taking in the silence and peace gently lingering in the fresh air of the mountains. Then she threw her white head back and howled to the skies, a long questioning call for another nearby to hear. The sound echoed through the forest of trees ahead, resounding with sincerity and hope. With great patience Luna stood, waiting calmly for someone to appear.
