Just being alive was a grand thing, something that Ivev had always speculated- something she could see now by the soft hues that played out on the lake. When the time came, the water would make for the most perfect mirror of the heavens above, as if the night was drowning within its depths. The female pushed herself up into a sitting position, silently berating herself. The ground was cold and the snow seemed desolate, but if her spirit was set to it, Ivev would make sure she fulfilled her promises.

The crunching of snow reached the snowbird's ears long before she could spot the alphess coming down the bank. Balancing her weight on her front paws, Ivev made slow but sure progress, and finally hopped up on three legs whilst keeping the injured back one elevated. Having set her mind to it, Ivev was glad Cara had sought her out, for she needed to get started- and soon.

Unsure of how to address her new leader, the white wolf respectfully bowed her head and glanced off towards the snowy ridges.

"Miss Cara," Ivev spoke, the greeting sure and belying no pain that was currently coursing through her back leg. She had enough times of feeling dizzy from the wound. The female waited to be acknowledged before disclosing her plan to the young, effervescent queen, although Ivev realized she had little time.
