They had done it, so soon after settling in the plateau, it was official. 

The borders had become marked with the overlapping scents of them all mixed together - she and Kavik, Grezig, Elixir, Corvus, Minori, Thorleif, Quail, Barracuda, Kenkou, Donoma, even Illidan - the caches had started to accumulate medicines (dried in the sun by Liri or preserved in cool, dry cairns) and prey, dens had been found. It was all coming together, this idea that they had started. Everyone had worked so hard on it, Anatha had been lost to the ancestors on their journey here. 

The realization that it was finally built was almost out of her comprehension. 

The healer raced through the dark forests, the cool air tinged with crisp pine, exhilaration pounding under her breastbone. She did not stop until she had splashed through the stream in the heart of their home and had reached the plains that overlooked the Flatlands. 

At the edge of the world, with the grasslands and forests and mountains stretching out before her; with the sun setting at her back, Liri felt something bubble up in her chest. 

She could not explain why she had run all this way or the emotion that was filling her as she overlooked the place that would be their home. It was instinctive, primal, as much as the howl that filled the air - a call for her wolves. A call to come claim this land with their voice, as she was.
