The sun was as deep and golden as rich honey as it started to sink down into the cozy bed of the horizon, its light fading onto the other side of the Earth. The snow that covered the flat, grassy plains glisten as the rays of the light bounced off of the icy mush, making it as if sparkles were sprinkled on the white-top. Even the stars were making an early appearance, with the moon not too far behind either. But, with the setting sun, not only a moment of natural beauty came, but the coldness haunted the air thickly now, allowing no heat to be sprung in its bitter grip of winds and gray clouds. Despite the approaching night, a creature was still out and about instead of preparing to snuggle into a warm nest.

A rather large figure of a coyote bounded down the edges of Inferni territory, unusual thick fur for its species adorning its size in sleek fuzziness. For it ridiculous size for a coyote, anyone would assume it was a Luperci in its Secui body, for it was larger than the old, feral Lupus form but lacking the bipedal shape of Optime, stuck in-between, which was why it was also called a halfling. Even with its tall proportions and all that thick fur, it seemed too curvy to be a male, and it was obviously a woman. Her name was Alyssum de Fonte, Hastati of Inferni. She had joined these lands about two months ago, and she had become so accustomed to her pack's way of life and attitude, that she had no doubt that this was her home know, and will stay like that for many, many months to come.

Alyssum never did use her Secui form, mainly because it gently reminded her of when she was forced to stay in Lupus form in her old life, and avoided it, even when she first shifted to Optime. But, she was becoming to favor this shape, though it would never knock off the bipedal form from the top of all three. The easy energy that followed through her now lean muscles, from being trained, to her long legs to her paws, it seemed endless. It had more power to use than Lupus, and even Optime couldn't beat Secui if it came to a race; when one in the bipedal form would be slowed down with all its weight on only two legs, the strong Secui wouldn't shed a sweat. She also liked this form because of its thick fur. It seemed that her wolf blood became more apparent, which her coat thicker, which protected herself from the cold far more than Lupus fur would. Indeed, she could see how one could come to prefer Secui above all others.

Though she didn't feel tired, going at a nice jogging pace, she slowed down, her nose directed at the upcoming winds from neutral territory. Whenever she wasn't training, she liked to move around the southeast borders of Inferni, since the walk around her home's length was relaxing and help her review what she practiced that day. Alyssum smelled nothing out of the norm when she detected no canine scent coming from that part of the unclaimed lands, and continued down the borderline, heading towards the direction of Hades Beach. Though the water would seem too cold to swim it, it was a familiar path towards the caves were she slept.
