Those first few days in Moonspear went by swiftly, though they brought about a variety of feelings. Sheltered as she recovered from her travels, Ciri hadn't met many of the wolves, but she was growing more curious - especially of the other pups that resided there, cousins, that her mother spoke of. She wasn't even sure what a "cousin" was to her, nor had she thought to ask.
Altair was not alone in his prowling. The little blackbird, made restless that night in her pining for her beloved Papa, stepped carefully from the her family's rendezvous to test how far she could roam.
It was nothing exciting, she decided, for Moonspear was just another mountain to her. Made of rugged terrain and littered with evergreen foliage, it was welcoming to Ciri in a sense that it was the sort of place where she'd always made her home. The territory suited her just fine; it was the uncertainty of its inhabitants that made her nervous.
When she detected the movement of another in the darkness ahead, the girl paused. Yellow eyes studied her surroundings and she held her breath, sable ears twitching to listen for further footfalls.

"And then the world started to exist again,
but it existed very differently."
