It was only the next rational step if Sepirah hoped to engrain herself within the Clan’s structure and gain strength from the assemblage of practiced Luperci that amassed within Inferni’s ranks. She had been brought here by fate – by a divine hand, and by a plan she was certain she had crafted herself before she took this body although could not remember – and she knew how to identify her blessings. Not a safer place could her young body be than Inferni, with a family matriarch who welcomed the propagation of her blood and welcomed Sepirah wholly into her world, even if her existence had been a surprise to the woman. Not only that, but Sepirah had warned her brothers of the weakness it would place in them to separate, yet separate they had. Now, one by one, it seemed her littermates were popping back up in Inferni, reuniting by the force of something more than what Sepirah would call coincidence. A smug, self-satisfied smile painted her dark muzzle.
The last few weeks after her arrival in the clan lands had been spent growing accustomed to the territories they claimed. If she were to continue to rear her companion successfully in this place that was so unlike his natural habitat, she needed to know where to gather the right foods, the right material for care and bedding, to keep the viper alive. She also understood the importance of knowing her surroundings. Her exploration of Inferni was like a large spiral, circling the borders and then making slow searches deeper into the lands until she had a good idea of this place she had come to live, sniffing out all the best hunting grounds, making note of clan dens and structures, finding routes of escape in an emergency, and, still being a mortal of this world and subject to the whims of this body, of course a few nice spots to play or relax.
Now it was time to become acquainted with her clan, and the best place she thought to start was the D’Neville Mansion. She glanced around her as she stood on the porch, ears pert and eyes searching for anyone. There was a cornucopia of scents on the threshold of the members that passed here so frequently. Had she known many of them, she probably would have been able to identify some of them, but for now it was a mixture of predominantly coyote scents. Relaxed, she noticed the latch was not engaged, so she poked the door with her snout and it swung free and welcomed her entrance.
The moment she stepped into the foyer of the shadowed mansion interior she caught the scent that certainly wasn’t coyote, or even canid at all. Her ears dropped back, and she lowered into a half-crouch as she followed her nose, her viper companion slithering along at her paws. It may not be the best of ideas to sneak through the shadows of a clan’s home at night, but the scent riled the predator instinct within her, and it also felt like something had invaded her clan’s home. As she followed the strength of the scent to the west wing, she also noted two other fresh scents that had recently crossed this way; one was to be expected, and she suspected an Inferni clan member, the other was feline, which confused her.
She nosed at the door, and got a strong scent from the hands that had recently shut them. There was a familiarity about the makeup of the scent, as though it was vaguely related to her, and this peaked her interest even more. Pressing her weight into the door, she quickly discovered that, to her dismay, these were latched properly, and she would not get past them without changing. She preferred her quadruped form to her Optime, and wasn’t a fan of changing on a new moon. But it would be her only choice, unless there was another path, or whoever had just come by heard the rattling of the door as she pressed on it and returned to inspect.
