It had been too long since the female had gone to the long stretch of beach that the pack claimed as their own. There was a certain feeling that came to her there. She had not always been a coastal wolf, much more comfortable in the forest and among her guardian trees. But since Crimson Dreams had reached out and taken the beach, she had come to seek its inspiration. It was wild at times, and others... it was as gentle as a mother with a newborn, simple reach out to place a soft hand on the back of the sands. Petting lightly.
Such a journey had been her intention, and so the wolfess traveled south after she had risen at her normally early hour. Four pawed and pleasantly surprised to see that the Sun had greeted her, breaking through the cloud cover and reaching out with bright raze. She traveled alone, though Oak had offered to come with her. He was attentive to his mother after their small talk about responsibility, but she believed that there were better things to the able male to do then wander around with his mother. And it was solitude Anu sought .
Small silver splashed paws trotted through the southern lands, beyond the Hollow and towards the beach. The path was clear, a game trail she had used often. With her nose to the ground Anu moved, her thoughts drifting from his direction and towards the meeting of the pack that had left her a bit unsettled. They were small once more, their number dwindling with what seemed like each changing moon. The war had done this to them, killed their members and pushed others to seek a different refuge. Crimson Dreams had always been safe, and did not harbor those with an ill intent. Such beasts were banished, never allowed to return. So why? Why had they left? To seek instinctual gratification? Anu tipped her head, looking to the sky and then through the landscape. Her nose spoke of where she was, and her instincts played their role to their full capability. Suddenly she found herself in an unnaturally foul mood.
As well as further west then she had intended. By scent she knew she was a mile of so beside the border of their land, and no closer to her intended destination. With a huff she skirted the border slowly, her intent now to check it's security.
