Wheeling Gull Isle You Will Never Know Unless You Go, Go, Go, Girl

Quite some time had passed since the sea wolf graced her borders. Ira had made a commitment to visiting Huāzhēn at her own territory to discuss her proposal, though she had been delayed by several hitches until now. Hopefully the other wouldn't mind her late response, but a late one was better than none. There was much she did not know about her and her people, though her assistance in dealing with the Saints placed her higher on her list to trust than other strangers.

Huāzhēn had given her directions long ago, an island to the north. It seemed like a strange place to claim, but she supposed an island had its own benefits. The Count had never been to the sea, but she had heard of great bodies of water before. The days spent traveling left her questioning just how exactly she was supposed to reach Yuelong's borders. Ira was a mountain wolf, despite residing in the flat forest now, swimming was never high on her priorities. Still...she'd follow the river north until she reached the span of sand and water.

For a moment, Ira found herself frozen in place, amazed by the span of blue that stretched farther than her eyes could see. Before now she had almost thought of her scouts' descriptions as exaggerated, but now...well she was clearly proved wrong. In the distance a blip of land could be detected which she could only assume was the island described before. Now all that was left was to find a way over...

Luckily, Ira had managed to hit the ocean shore's just as low tide was setting in. Some skirting along the edges eventually revealed the slowly emerging strip of land that would connect the sea wolves to her familiar earth. The Count was still hesitant to be surrounded by so much water, but a few steps onto the land bridge proved solid enough for her to walk across safely, even if some spots forced her to wade. As she finally neared the island, the overwhelming pack scent was quick to hit her. How she was supposed to call from outside the borders, she wasn't entirely sure, but given the circumstances, she hoped Huāzhēn wouldn't mind the slight intrusion for her to stand on their island.

Settled now at the borders, Ira cast a quick glance around for any other wolves before tipping her head back to call for any leaders that might be around, but more so for Huāzhēn.
