Redhawk Caldera ambergris

Great spirits looked down from the stars upon Reyes Rivaini while he traveled away from home with lines of tension drawn between his shoulders, all alone, and said, this one needs a second chance.

Great spirits peered down from the overcast heavens at Teya Ishtar as she swam in the lake and tried to banish her fears, all alone, and said, this one needs a gentle touch.

So it was that one singular sprite was chosen for the pair and delivered as Sorana, who came into the world not knowing that one parent suffered for bearing her and the other was far, far away. The moment she was born and freed, she experienced a rush of love so strong it even quieted the panicked sobbing that wracked her newborn lungs. It was cold and wet from how the rain soaked mama's fur, but for all her discomfort, Sora was content. She nuzzled into Teya's soft belly with what little coordination she had and nursed, softly kneading.

Great spirits gazed down at the little life brought to bear by these two wolves who needed good in their lives and thought, this one will do.
