The sable Aedile had travelled all over in the past, she had been all over the lands here, along with the old lands; the lands that had burned in the terrible fire. She had been further afield as well, she had always been a wanderer, but that seemed to be something that ran in her blood, her children were also wanderers, only her youngest litter lived within the lands, the rest had travelled from their birthplace to explore new lands, as had two of the dark lady's grandchildren. It seemed to be something that she had passed along in her genes, a kind of restlessness that could not be quenched unless one's feet were moving, unless one seemed to be going somewhere. Soran herself had always found that her feet took her wherever she needed to be, even if that was not where she had been planning on going, nor indeed wanting to go. That was how she had ended up back here, she had not really intended to return, the lands were littered with terribly painful memories for the dark Aedile, memories that she had tried to squash and force to the back of her mind over and over again; alas often she had found that they would not be forced out of her mind. But still she had begun to wander without really thinking on it and her feet had found their way back here; well firstly they had taken her to where she needed to be, the old lands, her old home, they had taken her to the graves of her eldest children and her dear friend, she had sat beside them and mourned, mourning as she had never allowed herself to do before; somehow this had reminded her that she was squandering the gift that she had been given, living healthy children and grandchildren, it had made her realise that her work, her life here was not done. When the ebony pelted female had arrived she had found that her work here was indeed far from done and she had immersed herself in making amends and beginning to patch her family back together; there had been a time when she could not have dreamed of coming back here, but now... now she could not imagine being anywhere else.
The truth was that the sable female had indeed remade her life here and it was wonderful, her grandchildren were beginning to warm to her once again, she had discovered that she had great grandchildren as well, she had found her place within a pack again and best of all she had opened her bedroom door on the morning of her eighth birthday to discover her former mate standing there, the pair had easily fallen back into their old life and now they were making up for lost time; just as in love with one another as they had always been. Here Soran felt that she had a good life, that she had a good family and that everything was falling into place; she had a good role within the pack as well, she felt that she was helping others and looking after them. Especially as she was meeting new wolves that she felt she could take under her wing as well, like young Terra who sat before her. The dark female smiled at the young girl as she proposed her idea, she nodded her ebony head as she spoke, indeed it sounded like it would be more than a fair trade.
"That sounds more than fair, yes I should like that, there are many packs to the north, although I have only been to a very few of them. When would you like to set off on this expedition?" Soran asked the younger girl, still smiling at her.
"Tell me Terra, why did you leave your old home, if you do not mind me asking?" The sable female added, wondering suddenly why a girl who seemed to friendly and pleasant had chosen to leave a home and come here. Not that friendly and pleasant wolves did not come here, Soran was just wondering why it was that she had left what must have been a happy home, it must have been to create such a nice young wolf.
