This might be my only post in this thread, but I'll wait to see if anyone responds before deciding that!

Dawn birthed a cold ray of light upon the spire of the Watch. It was there that the two brothers sat, watching the clouds roll in with the first whispers of Skaði's cold, frozen breath. There was a melody most ominous threaded into the notes of the wind as it howled across their mountain, whipping through fur both gold and black.

It was a melody he knew well, one that thrummed deep in his bones, calling to his heart in a way that only their hringja could. In some ways, the Northerner had expected this, having felt the waning of whatever had drawn them here in the first place. The weeks that had passed had sung him a different song than the song that had stationed the brother's here upon this peak and so, in some ways, this ominous tune was one that was welcomed.

And yet, a grimace twisted its way across his face as he looked to his brother. There were wolves that followed them, that relied on them for... for what? Strength. Guidance. Care. Some of them were weak; such wolves would remain, he was sure, though some would attempt to follow. Would they make it? Perhaps. No matter their choice, the pair would inform them all the same. Two voices rose above the wind and the snow, ahead of the coming freeze as he and @Solpallur called to the wolves of the Watch, to the ones who would decide then if they would stay or follow.

The Call beckons. We leave to answer before night falls, before the snows grow deep. Stay or follow. The choice is yours.

They would wait then, wait for their brother and sister to join them, wait for the valkyrja and the young vikingr, and wait to see who would remain here in the Wilds. He felt the weight of his feathered friend settle on his shoulder moments later, crooning a low note as he accepted the comraderie of the pale raven. The first joined them, it seemed.
