Bearclaw Valley some kind of soul come from within us

opened it! <3

within astara a new life was brewing -- not the life of her children, but her second life -- an spiritual presence that for all of her scrying with relmyna's bones, astara had never witnessed before. more than once she felt the ripple of something nearby -- only to find nothing when she emerged bristling from the den.

another sound roused her, accompanied by the scent of blood. furious to find her privacy violated, astara sprung from the mouth of her den like a hyena -- only to find the svelte form of her sibling towing a hare.

it took time for the hairs on her back to settle -- and longer still, for the crackling energy around her to dissipate -- but astara accepted averna's presence with a wave of her tail, making to turn back for her dark abode.
