This one's for Raz--Ralla took you up on that offer! >Big Grin Btw, Lin, do you still have the PMs or remember the PMs we exchanged before about the AW+InH stuffs? :3 (Nootau: Not visible)


The long journey had been easygoing, now that there was no pursuit or fear of consequences from the shadows. Sugar's strong legs had been reliable through and through, but Ralla would rightfully give the horse more than a single's night's rest to recover his strength for the trek back. What was mulling over in her mind was perhaps a bit imposing, but she had been invited, after all...


The white woman had skirted far around the edge of Anathema's territory and climbed with the quarter horse to the mountain peaks, still safe since the snows had yet to accumulate or block the safer passages. The way to Ichika no Ho-en had unfolded before her with scent markers and the sun, appearing over the ridges of rock to show her the Eden-like valley below. But she dared not enter yet. Ralla howled her signature song to the air, hoping for it to be answered by Razekiel, the one who had offered her entrance in the first place. She had to admit that the entire thing was, by and large, unusual. Her first knowledge that Phoenix Valley had been disbanded and joined with Dahlia de Mai had been a surprise in itself, but then Dahlia de Mai had moved as well, making way for open area--and now another new pack, as she had learned while passing Cour des Miracles. While the sudden pack reformations and where its members went gave her pause for thought as to where old friends had ended up, she also kept in the back of her mind that she would have to redo the maps in AniWaya when she returned, as well as inform those who were left of the goings-on of the world that had passed them by while they were under the iron-fist of Maska.


She had heard a few rumors about Ichika no Ho-en ever since meeting Razekiel--most, if not all, of them good. It was said to be a peaceful, nature-loving place, and perhaps in another life Ralla would've lived there happily. But her duty was to her family and tribe: She could not just abandon it when it needed its own reformation the most. Still, what and who would she find in this mountain paradise?
