The journey was long but that was nothing new for the flame. Her paws no longer ached like they did when she was traveling with the healer for a while, callouses already formed on the tender puppy pads into a tough shell and her legs had already built enough muscle to keep up with Hydra on their journey to her lands. The landscape quickly changed from the misty dark woods of her birthplace to something taller and looming. It reminded her of where the healer had tried to drop her off, and momentarily she was angered, thinking Hydra would do the same...

But this place was different. Her frown softened as she took in the air, everything was different other than the simplistic idea of a mountain. This one felt strong, the scent was overwhelming in its presence, unlike anything she had come across before in her journey. No pack felt this full, not to her knowledge and senses. It was dizzying even for someone who had spent so long on her own.

She was cautious about entering, despite Hydra's invitation to join them - she still felt like an outsider. Having not belonged to a pack since her smaller days, it felt dangerous. Her new mentor left for the time being to attend to a few things, letting Conquest slowly acclimate to her new environment. She did not hide, with a pelt like hers it was impossible to do, after all, instead, she wandered slowly... steadily inward. Crimson eyes wary and watchful, ears on guard for any lurking sound nearby. The young Rache was on high alert, every fibre of her being, of her instincts, telling her to leave this place.

It wasn't often she went against her gut feeling, it had kept her alive this long. For once, she trusted someone else more than her natural inclination for self-preservation, and that individual was Hydra. Should this one fall through too, Conquest would be lost forever, never to trust again and simply wander a beast of instincts to feed and protect her own skin.
