Apart from the one time the had met up with him and Eclipse to discuss how things were going Jace hadn't seen the brother of her heart in quite a while, since before they had moved to Ichika had they spoken properly. It was this that had her travelling from her home in Westville south west through the plains of Ichika following next to the East River. She enjoyed seeing the remains of the human settlements that had grown up along the banks of it. Miraculously a few boats were still tied up along the sides btu most of them were in a sorry state and looked as though they would sink at the merest hint of weight in them.
She knew Noah lived somewhere along the northern edges of Phoenix Valley for he had mentioned it to her briefly but as for its exact location she was clueless, but she did not mind a game of hide and seek with the house. It afforded her a nice stroll but left her mind to wander back several months to her altercation with Noah's father and she shuddered, even now the image of the black man remained burned into her memory, and that f her dead children. She knew, as every female did that stillborns and weak pups that never lived were part of life, feeling weltschmerz for the ones that had to die, and never realise the love that had brought them into the world.
Trees loomed over her, their branches looking worse for wear from the autumn winds, soon they would be bare skeletons and covered with the snow of winter. It was into this world that her little ones would be born just as she had been several years ago. The winter she had been born into had been unusually cruel and harsh, no one had expected the two tiny hybrids to survive for long, not even their mother or aunt. But against all the odds and the howling wind and snow they had survived, flourished even and what stepped out to greet the pack once the storms had passed had been two healthy children instead of half starved mongrels.
Jace sighed, as much as she liked living in Ichika with Temo and the others, she would always long for those cold northern places from which she had come and hoped that she could visit them again before her life was lived out and was over. She missed her family, her true family that were blood related to her. Her grandmother was a distant hazy memory that Jace could only just recall, she had only been a few months old when the old she wolf had died, and Jace spared a tear for the woman who used to hold her on her lap and sing lullaby songs to her.
Finally after a few hours of leisurely walking and searching she came across a house that had Noah's scent pratically stamped into its brickwork, looking about herself for the house seemed to be empty she raised her voice,
"Noah? You here?"
