Moonspear Falling

They were family. Not by blood, no-as it was Dirge & Nyx blood which was shared and so then passed on to Elke and Ciri. However, she was family still of no less, alpha of this pack, mother to most within it and mate at the side of her uncle as Ostrega all the same. @Wylla, too, should have felt as this, who's pups were bore by the same man as that Elke called father, but it was not to be so in Sagtannet. But this was not Sagtannet and the dark queen before her made this clear.

It would be different and the alpha of these lands would see to it then she found Elke when she could, that they would be family in such a physical manner then just sharing the same name. Elke smiles then, softly, hope in those pale lilac eyes. As does Hydra's tail wave, so does Elke's own now and she lifts, those hopefully eyes turning away from her at Hydra's words of wonder. My father and I…we would spend our time together a lot by learning and looking for different medicines. She didn’t have that time anymore but it was her luck that Hydra shared the same interest. I thought I smelt some. And so she had, hidden by the Tangled Antres. I miss dad. She admitted honestly. I don’t want to be sad anymore. I want something to make it stop. She didn’t want to be ungrateful. She didn’t want to look to the east and think back to her life in Nova Peak. She wanted to be happy, here, with her very large family and this mountain. She wanted to move forward, to live.
