It had been years since the silver-shaded coyote had brought Kesho, Zarah, or any of the others, the original coyotes, to her mind. To Kaena, these creatures were dead already—some killed for certain years ago, and others simply lost to time, dying in some faraway place she had never heard of. Inferni had been around long enough to have changed meaning for the scarred woman; no longer did she think of them as living, but relics from another era entirely. These times echoed back prior to her children and the glory of her own family—certainly, though, the hybrid woman would not have to be pressed hard to have admitted that the loose, unruly band of canines that had founded Inferni was, indeed, her first family; had they not passed along to death or other walks of life, she would have considered them family still.
The scarred hybrid did not, at first, recognize the scent that drifted over the light breeze to her; it was the scent of a stranger. Perhaps it had been so long, she did not remember it—or, more correctly, having assumed the bearer of this canine to have passed on years ago, the Centurion did not immediately associate it with anyone. As she drew nearer, however, that strange tingle of familiarity tickled her, and she pressed on quicker, moving with more nimbleness than she had possessed for many months now. There was something refreshed within the silvery hybrid since Clover had introduced her to the medicinal properties of the strange drug. The silver-shaded hybrid hadn't been a stranger prior to Clover's introduction, but she had not realized such a substance could be used to alleviate her old-woman aches.
A single yellow-golden eye peered around once she had entered the area saturated in this canine's scent, and Kaena felt something like a ghost was watching her. Her sable ears half-mast, the ashen canine looked finally to the boulder, her face dropping all pretenses of indifference and confidence as she looked on the face greeting her there. “Kesho?” she demanded, clear disbelief in her tone.
