Heron Lake Plateau If you get lost you can always be found

@Niamh @Quixote anyone else! I couldn't stay away!

During the first storm of snow, she had lost her brother who had idiotically assumed the role of guardian while the rest of them slept huddled. He had fallen asleep and never woken up. Lydda had somehow vanished during the night, leaving her sleeping by Ankuusa's side. They had woken up together, found Calus together, searched for Lydda together and on a really bad day they had argued. Kaala had insisted that they keep searching and Ankuusa had insisted that they find a place to settle for the winter. She refused and pushed his temper over the edge and he had called her a stubborn witch, leaving her completely alone. She had waited for him to come back but he never had and she definitely couldn't survive alone, so she searched for a pack to settle into.

After searching and finding a few options she stumbled upon a strongly marked border around a beautiful territory. She studied it, standing a respectful distance away while hesitating. She had diligently left a scent trail along the way here, marking every so often so that if Ankuusa so desired he could hopefully find her. Yet she didn't want to be here without him, she didn't want to be anywhere without him. She had left home because of him, assumed the role of his guardian as well as his best friend and she even admitted to herself that she loved him. This felt like she was giving up on him but she knew she would be no good to anyone dead. Sucking in a breath she sent up a shaky call for the leaders assuming a respectful posture. She prayed she wouldn't be turned away because she was so young.
