Sanuye was doing a better job of keeping up with her duties since she found out that her rank was not allowed to tend to the Great Fire yet. She had been out early in the morning to get some firewood and make sure there was plenty for the upcoming season. With winter on the way, it would be sure to snow a lot and that would make the ground wet as well as the wood. The coyote knew now how important the Great Fire was to the tribe and she wanted to make sure that it never went out. The hybrid was actually sitting at home this morning working on a project. She wasn’t sure if this was needed or not, but there was no harm in being cautious. She was making a cover for the extra firewood. She wanted to make more than one so she could swap them out, but since it wasn’t snowing yet, she had nothing to worry about.

Sanuye had just finished her first one when the sun was beaming inside of her den. She peeked out and saw the sun hanging in the sky. It was daytime and she was eager to get started on her duties. The coyote crawled out of her den and began to head for the village, her project in her hands. She wanted to make sure it was big enough, otherwise she would have to head back home and add more to it. The hybrid made her way over to the pile of firewood and laid the cover over it. It was a perfect fit. She smiled and removed the cover. She needed it to help her make some more. She was going to need one for her personal firewood too. She moved away from the firewood and over to the Great Fire itself. She could feel the warmth of the fire coming into her souls and burning her heart. It was a gentle feeling and a feeling she wished would never go away. The female took a seat in front of the fire and closed her eyes, losing herself in her thought.

Sanuye was actually pleased that she was getting her work done. She wanted to show Dawali that she had what it took to be the fire master of the AniWaya tribe. She was also please because this was giving her something to do. Most of the time she found herself stuck at home. She needed something more to do in her life. She emitted a soft sigh before counting the wood to make sure there was enough. Once she was done counting, she would lay her covers back over them and then turn to head back home. There seemed to be no other reason for her to stay here. The coyote wanted to get back home and check on her companion before taking a short nap.

Sanuye then heard the voice behind her and turned to see Ralla standing there. She remembered the snow white wolf from before when the other fire tenders were discussing their skills. She seemed like a nice and wolf and it was nice to see her turn up again. The coyote wondered if she was here to do some of her duties as well. From the looks of it, it looked like she was just here to visit and warm up from the Great Fire’s flares. The hybrid listened to the words emitted from the she wolf’s mouth with curiousity. She smiled as she approached her. ”That’s beautiful Ralla. What is that from?” She had never heard of the words before and hadn’t really read anything that would have such words. She was more into novels, ones she had been mainly gathering from the library where she met her feline friend. Speaking of which it was about time that she began to head back that way to get herself a new book. She had to return the one she finished and pick up a new one to begin reading again.

Test test test.

Sanuye was glad to see that Ralla was not trying to show off in front of her. She was not on to take kindly to it, but she didn’t also one who didn’t seem to do anything about it. She was the kind who liked to keep her feelings to herself and seemed to not like sharing them with anyone, even her closest friends; although, she didn’t seem to have too many of those either. Nayati was never really around and aside from Ralla and Dawali, everyone she had met never seemed to be around anymore. There was Liliana, but they didn’t seem to be getting along. She let out a soft sigh before she looked back up to her guest and smiled. ”It’s a lovely prayer. Where did you learn it from?” The coyote moved her ears up as she offered to help her with her work. She preferred to do her work alone, even though they were both in the same tier. She shook her head gently as she began to walk closer. ”No. I was just finishing for the day. I made some covers to protect the wood from the snow in the coming winter. I was thinking about collecting some more wood later on in the day, but for now I need a bit of a break.” The hybrid held her hands at her side and then moved over towards the fire to warm up for a bit. She was on her break and since the white she wolf was here, she figured it would be rude to head back home and rest for a while. Perhaps she would be able to go back later on and gather the wood around twilight.

Sanuye’s ears and posture pirked up when Ralla asked her about her relations to Dawali and Nayati. It was obvious that the white she wolf was not from the original tribe that AniWaya had come from, nor did anyone even mention about it to her. She figured now would be a good time to explain about them and how she came to the pack herself. ”I knew Nayati when I was a pup. I did not know Dawali until I arrived here, but had heard good things about him.” The coyote paused before she continued so that she could look to the fire. It burned brightly and the memories of her past began to flow in her mind. She closed her eyes and then opened them before looking back to Ralla. ”I’m one of the original members of the Great Tribe, the same tribe that Dawali and Nayati are from. I was raised by a wolf family who had found me abandoned outside of the tribe. They were thankful enough to take me in and raised me as their own, even though I looked different than them. Nayati and I became good friends. He arrived her in AniWaya about half a year before I did.” She paused in her tale so that the she wolf would be able to ask some more questions, that was if she had any.

Test test test.

Sanuye smiled. It was nice to see that there were other members of the tribe who have been able to spend some time with Dawali other than herself. She was afraid he had not been getting much attention from the other members of the tribe since she hung around him the most. She wanted to break this and find out where everyone else was so she did not seem like she was bothering the chief. The coyote looked over to see the white wolf joining her company. It was nice to see that she was able to spend some more time with the wolf seeing as they were in the same tier of duties. She moved her hands back from the fire and laid them in her lap. She was warm enough now and she was sure now would be the perfect time to get to know Ralla more.

The white wolf seemed to take an interest in the Great Tribe once Sanuye mentioned it. She knew that most of the members in the tribe were not from the Great Tribe so that it as common for other members to want to learn about the origins of AniWaya. She smiled to the wolf and then pointed off in the direction she remembered coming from when she arrived to AniWaya. ”The Great Tribe is a lot like it is here. They have the same customs and ranks. I was told that AniWaya originated from the Great Tribe.” The coyote shook her head as Ralla tried to apologize for her curiousity. There was no reason for her to be doing this. She smiled and wagged her tail as she tried to correct her. ”There is no reason to apologize. I like talking about the Great Tribe.” She could see the innocence and look of interest in her eyes. She thought it was important for members of the tribe to know about its origin and the Great Tribe. The hybrid sparked up some hidden interest when the white female mentioned about her old pack. So she was from another pack and decided to come here? Why would she do that? She shook her head gently and then moved her silver gaze back to her company. ”Tell me about your old pack. What were they like? Were they like AniWaya as well?”
