Ankyra Sound the odyssey

Since we're on the subject of drama with Aktaiê, let it be said that Callantha had not exactly paid a whole lot of attention to that fiasco. She'd meant to, she'd started to, but when things had become tense and the lectures of should-dos and didn't-dos and the doling out of disappointments had begun, the young sprite had shut her ears to it. A different wolf might have enjoyed hearing the frustrations of her elders taken out on another wolf - it would have made them feel better to know that they weren't the only one who was a disappointment to the clan. Callantha was not one of those, however. She'd had enough of those talks of her own, and it only caused her weary heart to squirm with discomfort to hear another.

While the journey had been long, it was nothing Callantha wasn't used to at that point. After all, she had not been born upon the shore of Themiscrya, but in one of the sister packs further north. She'd been a disappointment there, and now after being a disappointment in Themiscrya, she was on her way to becoming a disappointment in this Ankyra Sound place. It made the youth bitterly miserable that her sisters considered her to be such a burden, but she had become a master compartmentalizer. So when she pulled up into the wake of Minthe and her fellow sisters, it was with only a sullen, resigned gaze that she stared at the trees that towered before them like prison bars.
