Ankyra Sound lovin' in the moonlight (discovery)

Gonna wrap up here because this is old and dusty. :)

So it seemed that leaders drowning themselves was common. At least more so than Fox had believed it to be. No such stories had ever been passed down where she was from, but maybe it was unique to the area. A curse, perhaps? Not that Fox believed in such things. She was hardly a superstitious wolf, although she did feel like if one more leader drowned out of choice, she might have to second-guess her stance on such things.

Knowing that Aktaie had been taught to lead from birth was... interesting, to say the least. It was a skill, Fox supposed, but it was not one she felt could be taught. It was a skill that she felt could only be picked up through the experience of actually leading. She couldn't begin to imagine how she might train somebody else to lead. You either had it or you didn't, simple as that. Fox knew that she had it, and she wondered if Aktaie did, too. Time would determine that, she decided.

“Let’s hope neither of us follow in their footsteps,” Fox quipped lightly, although there was a part of her that wondered if they would. “I should be getting back. Best of luck in your endeavors.” With a slow sweeping motion of her tail, Fox turned back toward the plateau, eager to get back to Peregrine and let him know that Junior was doing just fine here.
