Ankyra Sound (ritual) dear seas of old, i come with a prayer

Never before had the Amazon felt so empty. Neither Akantha, nor 'Thea were around now, and it made her doubt her decision of following Aktaie all the way here. Initially, it had been the young dove herself who had pushed Aella to do it, and she had promised her that it would be an adventure they would both live together, and so far, she had done it all by herself.

Akatie called for the whole pack to reunite at the beach, and being a good Adept, Aella left her stand to attend the much more important matter. Prayers were always reinvigorating, specially when the times were tough, and to be honest, it hadn't been as easy for the pack so far. Aktaie had caught a delicate illness just a few days ago and she was rarely seen for some time, and Aella, who had always been a trusted Adept back in Temiscyra, had had to constantly prove her worth and value to the pack, and even Aktaie herself. And this, besides actually being important to her, was one of those times.

The sand felt nice between her toes, as it had her whole life. There was just something about the beach that called Aella, that inspired her, and she was happy to visit every time. She slowly walked to the reunion, keeping her chin up, keeping her spirit up. Aktaie had stuff to ask for from the mother, but Aella had stuff of her own, and she wanted to relieve the weight. Αδελφή. The amazon said to announce her attendance, but kept just behind the matriarch to avoid bothering her, for lately, she felt like an outsider in what was supposed to be her own family.
