The months had changed again, the lands were now into what the humans had called March, although that was not a term that concerned Luperci, especially the wolves of this pack. Dawn came much earlier than it had in the more wintry months and it seemed as though the lands were finally springing back into life in places, a few of the earlier blooming trees were now vivid and bright with small white flowers, their petals a welcome signal that Spring was not too far around the corner now. Here and there small animals had begun to stir, a lot more active than they had been when the snow had covered the lush green grass that seemed to be thriving in the warm sunshine of the day; they played, rabbits and the like all together, dancing across the grass, seeming to celebrate the warming of the lands. Here and there birds sang in the early morning, greeting the rising sun. The sky was pure and unblemished blue today, lightening rapidly as the lazy orb of the sun rose above the horizon, all and all it was somewhat idyllic. The sable lady was laying on the grass, barely a stone's throw away from the communal pack den, she lay on her back, her long sable arms crossed across her stomach, jade eyes focused on the endless blue above her. A small smile played on her lips as she watched a lone bird of prey; not Tobias, the bird that belonged to young Jiva, as far as she could tell; circle in the sky, seeming to float above her, watching vigilantly for some prey to make itself known, to present itself as being vulnerable enough for the hunt. She could not help but smile as she watched it circle, feeling an odd kinship towards the feathered creature, after all she was a predator of the lands, a predator of the skies was her equal, simply behaving as she would do, but with the added advantage of being able to fly, to be able to see the lands and its prey stretched out below it. Oh to have that ability, almost to be able to see what was about to happen, now that would be a skill that would be more than valuable to the Beta wolf.
As usual the dark female had risen early, beating the sun today, arising before the dawn, she had licked her pale lover's face as she always did, saying a gentle goodbye and she had stepped out into the day silently. Today she was in her Optime form, her long mane was loose, falling to her elbows in its usual waves and curls, the only adornment being a pair of peacock feathers that her daughter had given her before she had left Crimson Dreams. Soran felt oddly at peace this morning, there had been a lot of turmoil and turbulence in her life recently, Noah had been punished severely for trespassing on Ichika's lands and Deuce seemed to have almost disowned him; that was something that hurt the ebony female's heart, even though she knew that he deserved what had been given to him, still she felt that he needed to be redeemed, she could still see the good in him. Slowly, languidly she blinked, closing her jade eyes for only a moment, just for a second, when she opened her eyes once again the bird of prey had swooped. It had fallen into a dive, wings folded against its body to allow it to move with great speed. Soran turned her head to watch it fall upon a plump rabbit, seeming to kill it instantly, she smiled to herself, it seemed that times might be easy for the hunters of this pack at the moment. The ebony lady moved into a sitting position and looked at the large bird.
"A fine catch I'd say." She spoke to it, although she knew that it would not understand a word that she had just said she still felt that the deed needed to be complimented. With another smile she brushed her mane from her eyes, watching as the bird began to feast on it's catch, the other rabbits scattering in all directions, small white tails bouncing as they fled.
