Firefly Glen Here where once was found.

they'd been summoned, and as the call for them rung silent, nephele gathered what thoughts she been internally warring with following the birth of her children. her husband was gone, and she did not think him set to return. there were no tears shed in the disappearance of arktos. she'd gained what she desired from him, though his sudden departure left some bitterness simmering in the pit of her chest.

yellowstone's numbers were waning, and should their course continue on the current path, it was unlikely they'd survive through winter. and so when the stormcloud gathered her children to set out for the great hunt, it was in pursuit of not food nor friends, but of a new home.

it was fortunate the hunt was set so near to the plains, for her children were just old enough to make the day's journey to the encampments. she guided her three babes with encouraging bumps to their rear when they grew tired, slow steps given to match the pace of their little legs.

once arrived, she settled @Anatolia, @Alasdair and zephyra to her side. @Envy, @Dreven and @Bard were told of her intent in not returning to the plains. each was left to their own choice, to join her and her family in seeking a new home, or to set off and discover one for themselves.
