Her heart fluttered. Eydiss now stood on the brink of a figurative cliff. The night closed in around her, shrouding the black wolf like a comforting blanket. It was warm, indicative of the coming summer months, and yet still she trembled. She'd made her decision weeks ago, and yet she'd hesitated to act. The Dawnrunners were growing impatient, however, and the Stormbringer bastard knew she could put it off no longer. Eydiss had no idea if the zealots had impressed the same urgency on her siblings, but there was no longer any time to meet up with them. Her brothers and sister would catch up eventually, of this she was certain. And if they didn't, well, then the task at hand ultimately fell to her alone.
The black female closed her blue eyes, taking a deep, desperate breath of the sweet night air. Once she let out the howl forming in her chest, she knew there would be no going back. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes as she parted her lips, but she forced them back. Her voice spilled from her throat in a mournful, pleading howl as she stood her ground just outside the freshly marked borderline belonging to the newly formed Vinatta packlands. She had no idea who would answer, but she knew the pack had been created by her blood relations, those bearing the Stormbringer name and stigma. As her request for an audience faded away beneath the crescent moon, the bastard female swallowed her trepidation. The chorus of the night rose around her, the songs of crickets and night birds filling her ears as the late spring breeze rustled her coal-black fur. Trying to gain control of her beating heart, Eydiss pulled her hindquarters beneath her, wrapping her bushy tail around her hip as she sat, stiff as a statue, waiting for her brethren to answer her plea, not knowing what to expect when they did.
