Oh hay guys. I am rejoining as Aurèle, though her son Anatole is with her (and will be played as an NPC for the time being). Information is on the Wiki if you need it. :]
The crow, with its white breast, stood out amongst the otherwise brown boughs he had perched on. Aurèle paused, green eyes narrowing, and sensed rather then saw her son stop behind her. He had never once gone out of step with her since they had begun moving. Anatole had not questioned why they were leaving what he considered his home, even though she sensed he was unhappy about it. Something had spoken to her though, a whispering intuition that told her to go. Of all the things she had followed, it was her instincts alone that had proven the most reliable.
After crossing the mountains, she had followed the familiar scents south. It was her intention to find Tayui once more, knowing that the remaining members of her family (those closest, at least) would be in the area. Sure enough, she caught her sister’s scent and the remaining children in the area. Anatole came to her side then, sniffing at the ground. He looked to her, his eyes her own, and flicked one ear questioningly. A long time ago, she had taught him to speak without making a sound. It was the same way that she and the crow communicated; the bird had been silent since the day he had come to her side.
“We’re going to stay here for a while,” she explained. “Your aunt and cousins live in the area, and it would do you well to be with family.” His dark face crinkled slightly, as if this idea offended him. The boy was headstrong, and he always had been—ever since his brother had vanished and he had learned the truth of the world. It took strength to survive, and strength that could only be found in the one. But even Aurèle, who had spent more then four years alone, understood the boy needed to learn the rules of society. If he did not, then her hope for immortality would end with him. She would not let that stand.
