There's nothing left for me, but this...

Through her times Anu had met many at a border. It was not just these Dreaming lines, but the edge of other pack lands too. She had come to them as a Subordinate, as a mid ranked wolf and now as a leader. Each time had it's uniqueness, though they were always the same in a basic principle. The wolf that came to them wished for something, something that only the pack could give them. Yes, there were plenty of claimed lands and groups that could ease a loner's woes but they had come to hers and sought the protection of a place where unity and peace sewed the ranks tightly. Close knit and clutching family values the Dreamers would welcome all that yearned for something more then just a pack to run with in the hunt. They were looking for an end to their travels and an end to the turmoil that a life alone could bring.

Blue eyes that matched the brightness of the summer sky looked down at the brown hued pup. She lay on the grass, her display pleasing the instinctual Praetor and made the gray and tan dappled tail rise slightly in response. It waved, showing she was not displeased but appreciative of the puppy's reply to her approach. Anu did not register her sir name, for she had not met another wolf with the calling, and respected the courage that it took for the duel hued eyed girl to seek out the acceptance of a stranger.

Her scent carried the wilds of the outside world, hints of places Anu had never known and of the common packs that had been established before Crimson Dreams. Still she was curious to know where it was she came from, guessing she had been born from the land of 'Souls. Welcome Eclipse. She began. The Dreamers would not deny such a young life a home among them, but life was not easy and she could not make her transition into their ranks quick and easy either. Have you traveled far young one? Where is it that you come from, and what will you bring to us in exchange for the warmth of my pack? The elder spoke with a soft tone, as warn and welcoming as the embrace that waited just beyond the border for the youth.
