Altar of Twilight Never had so[M]eone to call my own

Atka nodded her head at Heph, even though the wolf would not exactly be staying, at least she would be welcome at the borders. There would be no danger if she came to see Atka once more. That was enough for her. She thought over the other wolves she might soon meet, what they may be like.

❝Hm, I guess I'll see them for myself later.❞ Her brow quirked, still smirking back at Dreven.

Dropping Dreven's gaze she looked back to Heph.

❝So I guess this is goodbye for a bit then?❞ Atka's expression was not far from a frown as she finished her sentence

She was silent, hoping Heph would linger around the area before her further travels, but she knew she couldn't hold this wolf back. Heph was a wolf who did not want to be tied down, but Atka knew she did not need to be hurt by that. Her decision to depart was for her own happiness and growth, where as Atka had chosen to stay. Neither wolf harbored any ill will for each other. Perhaps Heph did not need a home, she was content resting her head in a new place each night. Was she comfortable with the only consistency she had being the stars above her head? Things changed, and Heph appeared to understand that well, living by that it seemed.
