AW.  Aliana wants to meet some KO peeps.

When she was accepted and allowed into the Territory, Aliana could barely hold her excitement and pride in. She got herself into a pack, no one offered it to her, she got it by offering her skills and loyalty. No longer was she lowly loner skulking from place to place, picking off of rotten half-eaten carcasses to stay alive. She was a Pack wolf.

After a small tour around the territory, and taking a day to rest. Once Aliana felt like she was alone, she couldn’t help but giggle and prance around like a show horse. If anyone saw it’d looked a little funny with a wolf her size but she didn’t care. Several sunfalls and nightrises—a year and a half as a Loner all amounted to this day. 

Another Pack, another home.

That wall of that seemingly barred her from even attempting to join another pack, that seemed so great and imposing before, now felt tiny and rather silly like the gap of a small stream that was only carpal high.

Aliana gulped down heaps of delicious air, instantly taking in the scents of her brand-new home and its land. This was hers. This land belongs to Kaistleoki and therefore it belonged to her. It was hers to run, sleep, and hunt in with peace in mind, without the worry of Loners intruding or annoying coyotes slinking about to try and seize what is hers. It was a place of privacy and a place to protect.

She didn’t forget the reason why she was here and why she had joined but —by the Wolven Mother—she was going to savor this moment. And no one was going to stop her!

Aliana could feel that itching feeling in her paws, something she had been forbidding herself till now. She hunkered down, dug her mighty paws into the earth as if she didn’t she’d fly off with the slightest breeze, calculated her route then...launch! 
Dirt and grass were ripped up from the force while Aliana launched across the ground like a furry missile, bounding over shrubs, weaving around trees. She ran and ran till her heart was pounding in her chest and her lungs cried for air, only then did she slow down to a saunter. Tongue lolling from parted jaws, she decided ultimately to lay in the middle of an opening and rest. Aliana glanced up at the rolling clouds high above then closed her eyes. She buried herself into the grass, rolling and rubbing into it,  coating its scents on her before letting out a sigh. There was no reason to hide amongst the trees; she left herself out in the open for any of her new packmates to come and greet themselves and she would heartily embrace it.
