Living in shadows, Fading existence, It was never good enough
Seeing to it that her own pack was secure for a moment, and leaving Thomas to guard the borders, as the loyal man did, she had chosen Jack, her dappled horse, to ride upon to her journey to the neighboring pack. They were relatively new, and had just been founded where Dahlia de Mai previously resided. She knew of them, and she knew that Juliet now lived there; they seemed friendly, a self-proclaimed warrior pack that fought for justice and the defense of the weak. Pleasantries aside, they would be a very useful ally to have, and coupled with Cercatori d'Arte's immense stocks and supplies, they could be a formidable duo to reckon with indeed.
She arrived on the borders of their neighbors fairly quickly, due to her steed's fast pace. Slung on her shoulder was a pack, gifts inside for their neighbors; she would never dream of showing up for the first time on a pack's borders empty-handed, as she saw that as one of the greatest transgressions. No - within her pack was a seedling of the blueberry bushes that grew in abundance in Cercatori's homeland, several sheets of garlic paper to write on as well as a pencil to accompany it, and a trio of chicken eggs nestled inside a warm, furry coat from a skinned raccoon. Satisfied, she paused Jack, patting him on the side of the head gently, and dismounted. Ensuring that Jack was calm enough, she let out a howl, mixed with warm feelings of welcome and the call for a leader from one.
