Encouraging those who Alae hasn't met (preferably from PV), but I really don't mind anyone. ^^ WotD: "Stonewall" 492
The temples and pathways of Gampo Abbey had stolen the Sidhe’s soul through and through, and ever since discovering the ruined temples she had not left them. This wasn't to say she wasn't interested in branching out to newer pack maters from the ex Phoenix Valley, but she had been so captivated by the temple she had to explore it thoroughly. Bestowing upon the great Siddhartha Buddha that overlooked the grand staircase to the temple, Alae immediately been drawn into the tranquil paradise that was a stonewall from the rest of the outside world. Never imagining she would come upon the steps of a sanctuary so honored to be graced by, her snowy owl companion had done it once again with leading them to their destinies. Kael was the reason for bringing them here, and something within told her it was much more than just a companionship shared by the Luperci and the owl. To what more they shared, Alae wasn’t sure, but it was there.
The gentle melody of water trickling over pebbles and cascading down the rocks was inviting to the ears, as the Sidhe felt herself eased by the lulling tune of Mother Nature’s voice here. An aura of serenity encapsulated the area, and the Jinne knew just what this area was designated to be. Settling into her morning routine of meditation, Alae discovered this area was one of the prime areas of Ichika to connect to nature, soul, and spirit. Whether blessed by the human monks from centuries ago that made this sanctuary their home, their influence still continued to thrive in this quiet area over the years. All five senses were deeply engaged in what she could feel of this environment, and felt her soul was cleansed by how Mother Nature was so in tune here. The Abbey Gardens and the Waterfall were so far her favorite areas to haunt.
Letting the chilled water wash through her hair and pelt, Alae lightly bathed herself in the cool waters underneath the smaller spray of the waterfall. The journey to here had been long and winding, and the cool down was nothing more but a reward well earned. Kael was located in earshot not too far away, perched upon a slippery stone and acquiring a drink for himself an also eyeing the waters curiously for movement, though fish wasn’t exactly for his appetite for an owl. Fingers moved through her agouti locks cascading down her back, easing out the tangles formed from her travels. Her sky blue eyes slipped closed, feeling herself rejuvenated by the natural water source that ran its course strong through here. Alae was in a state of content to where if anyone stumbled upon her, she wouldn’t have been bothered in the least.
