Moonspear when the sun rises

As the sun rose so too did a song, a joyous call from Hydra announcing the rising through the ranks of two of Moonspear's pups. Dragomir and Isilmë, no doubt. Lyra knew they had grown and were right on the cusp of adulthood now, closer to it than Hydra's own cubs, at least. However, she would only welcome Dragomir into the adult ranks, for he had proven himself worthy enough of such an honour. His skills had improved admirably and there was no doubt their Queen was impressed with him.

But for all the hope Hydra also held for Andraste's pale daughter, Lyra remained wary still. She reminded her too much of her mother, her disappearance after they had taken her and her brother in spurring no confidence in the judgemental Ostrega. Only time — and Isilmë's actions — would tell if her opinion of this would change.

Still, the ascension was something to be celebrated, and Lyra couldn't help but tip back her own head as others' voices rose to join the howl. She sung her praises with a sincere welcome into adulthood for Dragomir, while leaving little in the way for his sister.
