The evening was beginning to creep into the lands now, the warmth of the day had given way to the cool night's chill, along with the first spots of rain, small fine droplets were falling from the sky now, they were falling rather quickly now, dampening the surroundings. The wind was stronger now, a little fiercer than it had been during the day, and colder, it seemed that this night would be wintery rather than an autumnal one. Most of the rapidly darkening sky was covered with thick grey clouds, but in the gaps between them the first evening stars could be seen, small pinpricks of light in the velvet sky. The moon was visible now and again as the winds blew the clouds past it, a thin crescent now, stretching like a grin across the sky, seeming to be smiling down on the lands beneath it. The breeze was fierce enough now to pull dying leaves from the trees, the golden and red objects falling, dancing with the zephyrs before resting upon the ground. Autumn was truly well underway now, the gnarled branches of many of the trees were stripped almost bare of their leaves and in this weather seemed to be losing more and more with each passing moment, many of the fallen leaves were beginning to pile up against the trunks of the trees that they had so very readily vacated. Soran walked through all of this, her long legs moving her quickly through the lands; she had had a lovely day with Terra, it had been wonderful to meet her young pups, but alas there was no sign of Deuce, at least not recently. The sable female had also managed to see Robin, who looked well, she had been all smiles when she had seen her great grandmother and the time that they had spent together had been wonderful; it was strange, Soran realised, how she had not noticed just how much she had missed her patchwork descendant until she had seen her again, she had almost not wanted to leave the multi-coloured female's side, she had missed her very dearly and so had stayed for the longest possible time she could have. But the time had come for her to move on once more, she had to go back to New Dawn, she needed to be with her family, her pack again, it was a long walk but if she left now then she would make it back soon enough.
The ebony female was walking through the lands un-escorted, Robin had assured her that if she was simply leaving then she would be alright, enough of the wolves would recognise the ebony female by sight and would know that she was not a threat. Robin had offered to join her on the walk to the borders, but it was a very short one and the ebony New Dawner could see how exhausted her patchwork great granddaughter was and so she had insisted that the young female stay where she was and go to sleep, there was no point in them both getting soaking wet when Soran knew her way out of the lands. The sable female smiled as she walked, even though she had been given bad news, that no-one had seen her pale mate, she had at least had a wonderful day spending time with her friends and family. And after all there were many places that her alabaster lover could still be, somehow Soran knew that she was safe, she was sure of it, her own heart was still beating after all, she was sure that if Deuce had died then her own body would simply give up and allow her to wither away. The tall female had to keep hoping, else she would go completely mad, she would fall into a depressed state otherwise, she would not be able to function. The sable female walked briskly and soon enough she was at the borders, for a moment she paused, taking a final glance at the lands with calm jade eyes.
