[narrow width=700]Nervously, she had returned to the outskirts to fetch Rhelenso - she had left him for half a day to press on ahead and make sure none of their pack had been left behind, and finding that they had already moved on toward the sound of Amaranth's first summoning howl, the pale wolf had trotted back to return the last wayward wolf of their tribe. Her memory was fuzzy in the fine details, but she didn't recall anyone having met her rugged stranger besides Harper in the world they had left. Introducing him now felt even more awkward than it might have before; what would she say?
'Hello friends, this is nice man I danced with one hazy afternoon many moons ago before First Elysium! Tried to get me to join his pack, but mortally offended alpha when almost did and said no. We part for a long time, but he is dead like us now! Think he drowned! So sad. Let us rejoice!'
That wouldn't do at all.
Wordlessly she threaded her way through the fields ahead, noticing a strange new flower she hadn't seen before - it was about half a foot tall with great, nodding yellow flowers that hung facing the earth, looking almost sorrowful in a way. At any rate, they were pretty. Harper might have known them to be Glacier Lilies, but to Valeska, they were just another interesting feature of their new home - if she remembered, she would show them to her sister later in the evening.
As the great crystalline lake spread before them like so many acres of unblemished glass, the sky reflected off of its surface in a fiery painting of deep purples and crimson reds, the landscape around them seeming to ignite with the warm colors of sunset as they approached. Distantly she could see shapes moving around it; her friends and family remained active well into the nighttime hours, though Amaranth often skulked in the darkness where no one could see what strange magicks she was up to.
The little wolf squinted, suddenly looking for Kye and Gwyn.
Those devils were probably up to no good.
With a resolute sigh, she stopped. Elysium's paradise lay before them in its splendor, and she turned to Rhelenso with an anxious smile. “They will have smelled me now,” she warned. “Is too late for Rhele to flee. Can only await the end.”
She braced herself for impact.[/narrow]
