Emberflame Ridge The Fires Remains

Looking for someone from Elysium, but otherwise AW! (P.S. Pema is an Elysium member, just needs to be readded and don't want to go inactive again while waiting :)

She had stepped out of the pack's territory, for the time being, needing some time to herself. Part of her was still waiting. Waiting for Shale to come back and tell her that everything would be ok, with Timberlake at his side. But she knew that wouldn't happen. She had now come to the conclusion that Shale had fallen to the fire, and that with the absence of his father Timberlake had wondered off, similar to the fate of other orphaned pups of the fire. There was no way for her to be certain of either of those two facts, but for her to move forward with her life that is what she would need to believe. At least that's what she thought.

She had obviously never gone through this before in her life and wasn't sure what would be best. She wanted to be the best mother she could to her children but everything had fallen apart around her she wasn't sure how to put it back together, or what it would look like once all the remaining pieces held tight.

She wandered to a forest looking over a ridge. Areas of which were scorched in fire, reminding her of the one separating her and Shale. Amongst the charred trees remained a healthy one by which she sat. Almost representing her, healthy and well while those around her had perished. She sat quietly with her eyes shut, focusing on her breathing, not sure of what to do.
