Atka had whispered to her of change -- a plan. Lethe, dutiful to her goddess, had not questioned this and instead, had skirted past the sandy shores of a beach she had longed to touch once more and moved toward the east. Her creamy paws had carried her swiftly -- the occasional snow storm causing her to seek a sheltered enclosure as harsh bitter winds whipped through Teekon Wilds with a thirst that could only be brought by Sos himself. At first Lethe had considered it a sign from the black polar bear -- this was not indeed her path, and yet this uncertainty slipped away when she had stepped out of her makeshift home for the evening to be greeted by a ferocious wind that now pushed her to the east.

She had then moved at a swifter pace, not stopping to quench her thirst or satify the hunger within her stomach. She would fast now until her duty fulfilled, as was the demand of her gods.

The moment her paws touched the soil by the rapidly moving creek, she felt a thrum in her heart. Yes, the voice whispered. This will be yours. A gleam flashed within her aqua eyes, and stoically, the she-wolf began to prowl the lands, pacing the length of the creek before a wave of possession swept over her. These lands were hers.

She began to mark the borders as such -- her claws raked the bark of the trees, her scent rest upon every foliage that rounded what she had decided would be hers. Finally, when the moon lifted high in a clear winter night sky, the vapor of her breath clouded above her like mystical smoke before she would tilt her muzzle back. A song of her claim echoed across the Rising Sun Valley then -- Swiftcurrent Creek had been established.
