It was late evening, although the sky around seemed light, the thick blanket of snow was reflecting the moonlight with a strange yellow glow. All around the land was quiet, a soft breeze was blowing across the pack lands, bending some very small branches as it passed them, but still there came no sound. The sky itself was an endless blanket of stars, for once it seemed endless and without depth, almost like it went on forever, incomprehensible, unimaginably vast above the snow covered lands of New Dawn. Here and there the gnarled trees stretched high into the sky, devoid of leaves they seemed twisted and broken somehow, all in all the lands was peaceful, serene. A dark figure sat in the middle of all of this, bent almost double upon a snow covered rock. She seemed to be focusing intently on something near her feet. This figure was of course Soran, the sable female sat quietly, hands working furiously on her foot, she had stepped on a very sharp stone that had been hidden under the thick blanket of snow that covered the ground; and now she was attempting to dig it out, in this weather infections could be a killer and the dark Beta wolf could not risk something like that. No, not at the moment, young Zalen and Titania needed her to be in the best shape that she could be, they had invited her here to use her council after all and she intended to be the best help she could be; that could never happen if she were delirious, laying somewhere mad with fever all because she had not taken the time to pull the small shard of stone from her foot. Finally long nails found a place to grip and with a quick motion the ebony pelted Beta pulled the small item from the sole of her foot. She raised her head and smiled a little, moving to brush a strand of her curled mane from her jade eyes. Now that that task was finished with the sable lady would be able to concentrate on other things, musings that needed to be thought on.
Bright green eyes scanned the landscape as the dark female thought, this pack was now a month old, the pride she felt when this thought came to her was very hard to force down. However she barely knew anyone here, she had been feeling less than friendly for the past few weeks and so she had kept to herself, greeting the pack members as she passed them but not really stopping for any real interaction, she had kept working with her duties though. But now, now she felt that she could perhaps be a more social member of the pack again, she had been seeking comfort in Deuce of course, cuddling up to her, curling herself around the pale female like a cat, but she had not been the most friendly of wolves, now that would have to change, she would have to make an effort with the others. After all the sable Beta had left her old pack and her family to come here, there was no point doing that if she was going to waste it, to become a recluse. So with a small smile the dark female rose to stand, shaking her head and allowing the long braid that most of her mane was restrained in to thump against her back lightly, a smile graced her lips as the feathers that she had placed in it; gifts from her daughters; tickled her lower back. With a renewed sense of purpose the dark female marched towards the communal sleeping area, perhaps she would find Deuce, Zalen or Titania and tell them of her plans to be a more friendly creature from now on, to rid herself of her hermit like habits, or perhaps she would meet a new wolf here in the snow, perhaps she would be able to make her new start happen as soon as possible.
