Private. Set close to Rabbit Lake. Backdated to June 3rd. 500+

The wheel of time turned over and over, engulfing everyone in it. It twisted the fates of so many, broke their fates and destroyed their paths. It took them in to a warm embrace before crushing them, turning their whole lives to dust before slowly patching them back together, cracks visible and swollen. The wheel did not care for the wholeness of its creations, but rather for their submission to its willful ways. It wanted those it created to follow blindly and listen to every command they were given. They would be puppets to the fates, their threads no longer their own property. Such were the thoughts that crossed Marika's mind as she walked out of her pack's lands. She could not tell why her mood was so melancholic and introverted, or indeed why she felt the need to escape the court of miracles.

It was foolish to simply go off like that, without a word, especially since she had returned like a storm to begin with. But the drive for movement was enough to push her on, south and west, her legs carrying her ever forward. The female had to admit that she was completely lost. There was no reason to her footsteps, no pattern to be followed. It was mere rambling, allowing her body to take control and take her far and wide. She wondered if she herself was a puppet of fate, a cruel toy for the bored gods. She wondered if they had let her be self-aware merely as a joke, so she could know the freedom she could never truly achieve. “Почему вы думаете, такие странные мысли?” she asked herself, and the harsh sounds of her mother tongue grated on her ears. She was becoming so used to English now that Russian sounded harsh. A bittersweet smile tugged at the corners of her lips before her eyes widened in shock.

Now, it was obvious that she had trespassed. The smell of pack was everywhere and it was so different from the court that she had to pause for a moment and let it all sink in. The place of miracles smelled of ruffians and seaside and alcohol, it reeked of freedom and the comings and goings of many wolves. This place, though, was full of family and the smell of related wolves. It knocked the wind out of her and Marika had to sit down, her fingers finding comfort in the sturdy rocks around the lake. Her eyes were filling up with tears and it was all she could do before they rolled down her cheeks and slid off her maw. It was the smell of home, in ways that reminded her of her parents and siblings and the warmth of bodies pressed together against the biting Russian cold. The pain clutched at her chest and Marika knew she would need a moment to recover before she had to leave the place. Before someone found her.

sorry for the delay!!! ;.;

There was still time and she body had yet to tell her that she needed to remain at home. And so the female wandered away from the Manor as she did from time to time and lingered along the vast lake. It was home to her as well, just as familiar and comforting as the room in which she slept and the garden that she tended. Though, it's plants were feeling the neglect that her condition succumbed them to.

Blue eyes looked out onto the still water, the only movement the casting of wind that drove the waters to ripple and sway. Her rounded form moved slowly and gently over the shore, the sands short and narrow from the past rains. Her black nose was called away from the common scents that spoke of Dreamers and of family. The Lt. General looked beyond the tall grass, rocks the dabbled the landscape holding the figure of one that she knew did not belong.

Her curiosity and protective instinct was tickled and Anu wandered closer. The expression she bore was not one that the fey understood to be pleasurable and though she couldn’t yet see the tears that dampened her cheeks Anu approached with a warmhearted caution. Hello there. She called when she knew her voice was carry over the distance. Blue eyes blinked, and she wondered how the Miracles wolfess had found her way here.
