It had come true then.
They were all here, as Siarut had promised they would be. And the pack was founded on the glacier as he had said.
Why then did she still feel so misplaced, seeing this come to life?
Uki answered the summons, silently taking up a spot amongst the others as she filed in. What was it that made her feel this way, she questioned as she sat on her haunches. She had gone through the motions - hunting, patrolling, digging caches, etc. She didn't feel joy at the sight of Sia's dreams coming together - she felt as empty as she had helping to found it. If any words were said, she didn't hear them. If any speeches were made, they didn't touch her heart.
The howling broke her from her reverie. Her silver eyes found the man she had followed here, and then slid over his family. They were relics, as old as the gods she worshipped and the way she had been taught. They were like the gods themselves - fierce, snow coated beasts, northern relics that Uki so longed to be one of.
As her howl filled the air with the others, she did not feel a sense of familial affection for any of them. She did not feel friendship. She did not feel this place was her home.
As her howl went up, Tapeesa felt hollow.

"And you're tired of not being strong."
