I figured Raze could come across Clover and Daisy somewhere along Halcyon? Let me know if that doesn't work, or I need to change anything. Also, from what I remember, Clover thinks that Razekiel is most likely dead from the snowstorm, but correct me if I'm wrong. My brain is still a little fuzzy on details after being away for awhile. :3

She had gone away from her beloved’s kingdom, leaving behind a tidied chamber which she assumed he had come to expect. Daisy had not been fitted with a saddle nor bridle, but the purple tapestry that had long since been in the Lykoi girl’s possession had been thrown over her broad back instead. Clover herself had slung both her knapsack and guitar over a shoulder, before heading beyond the Pictou River and further into Drifter Bay. Though snow had fallen once briefly, the weather was uncharacteristically warm and the hippie child was taking advantage of it.

Despite breaching the borders of Salsola, the girl’s mind was plagued by thoughts of its leader. The man she had met in April had intrigued Clover, leaving the girl almost breathless in his wake. There was something about those brooding, yet handsome features that captivated her and she could not pull herself away. Perhaps it was the darkness lurking just beneath the surface that had somehow grabbed a hold of her. Whatever it was, Clover didn’t know how to escape it. The only apparent thing was that the man had easily been able to sweep Clover away from the lands of her family and into his kingdom by July. The supposed death of her father and the settling depression had been warded off by the excitement of this man, and ever since Clover had been lovesick.

Because of the family’s unusual culture, Clover became somewhat of a maid to Sirius and his right hand woman, Eris. However, she did not mind doing chores for the leaders and securing their comfort. In fact, Clover had begun to feel useful again and didn’t feel so lost in the world. Inferni had begun to feel less and less like her home, and within Salsola Clover at least felt like she was contributing to something.

Still, the Lykoi child missed her siblings and thoughts of Juniper Peace would occasionally bring her close to tears. Clover had somewhat fallen away from her roots, now that she was finding her footing amongst Salsola. Though she still was the same beautiful, pot smoking coyote, her relationship with Mother Earth seemed to be dwindling. The culture and ideals of her upbringing were slipping away, somehow becoming less apparent and important. Clover had begun to realize it herself and it truthfully scared her. Who was she becoming?

Daisy had been stirred from her warm stall within the Salsolan barns for an impromptu journey into unclaimed lands. The purpose of this trip was for Clover to re-strengthen her bond with nature, and remember where her roots truly were. She did not tell anyone of her plans, had merely got up and left, but perhaps it was for the better. Inside her bag she had stashed a couple of her mason jars. Perhaps a trip alone amongst nature would reunite her spiritual energy with the love of Mother Earth.

For now, Clover left Salsola far behind her as Halcyon alone became her horizon. The coyote and mare duo pushed forward, hardly noticing as the elevation began to rise and the rest of the world slunk away behind them.
