You bought a star in the sky tonight,

@Elowyn @Tetsujin

She felt abyssal, a torn between a living and a nothingness, a doll that is but a decoration for the background, for Aerith did not feel she was living. A depth in preservation, she moved, she walked, robotic if almost, as she forgotten to eat and drink, but let the days go by. A cold wind, a breath within the freezing air - and yet, no more.

A blink of pink twinklelight, a moment she saw the plains of the snow, a dusting of the snowflakes by the cold morning sun. The sound around of her packmates, and the heartbreak of.. A time she doesn't discuss ; yet a moment went by and when a blink came and go, no more was she in the same wretched world, yet by surrounded the fragrance and vibrancy of a world she did not know. 

In the midst she sat, confusion of all where, and yet.. A sense of comfort drifted, a peaceful look onto the frail woman's face - for she was far, far away, from a voided time.

Elowyn had been about to leave the scented fields of purples. They would continue on their way to find their future home. The sandy colored female wanted to check one last time if there were some flowers to bring along. The female looked up and then suddenly there was a female. She jumped back, started. It... It was like she came out nowhere!!

Elowyn looked at her with wide eyes, greens catching the soft light. The female noticed that the other female seemed confused at first but then.. just happy? Elowyn was still startled in shock and stared at the other female, frozen in her shock. Elowyn didn't really know what to do or say. She could smell the female, so she was definitely real, but when she had looked up before she hadn't been there!

"This doesn't seem like Wintergarde, anymore." Peaceful as she was, there was still the rather.. Concern that the once tundrian land she was within moments before was now a lushed bed of vibrant lavender flowers, as the morning just arrived the sun was glistening in dapples against the land itself. She could move anywhere she wanted, yet Aerith would always be greeted by flora -

though there was one, contrasting against what there was. A lone, wolf, "Hello there.."

Elowyn’s eyes widened when the female spoke of Wintergarde. She instantly recognized the name but it could be that the other was from a pack with the same name? ”Wintergrade, the pack who is part of the Bond of the Sentinels?,” she asked right away. Her tail gave a tentative wag, suddenly not so on guard anymore. She didn’t know or recognize the female though, but Elowyn had never been to Wintergarde for a number of reasons.

”Hi, I’m Elowyn. I’m from Heartmouth. I— You just came out of no where,” she spoke. This seemed to be a special space, now she looked at it. Since she had also ran into Ana in this territory. Also from their previous homelands. Maybe they should stay here in case they would run into more wolves from their home.

A lovely woman covered in earthen honeys ; she looked like the essence of springtime itself in the beauty of her green eyes. A flush of life compared to the tundrian plains Aerith had grown used to, and definitely so compared to the purple vibrancy of this land. A light breeze pushed passed, the few stray petals almost dancing in the air as the mentioned oh so familiar words, that she could not held but look at the other with a surprise, a posture leaning upwards, "You are from the Bond of the Sentinels?"

Some part ached for the frosty woman, that she never truly escaped from their grasp, and yet at the same time a relief, she wasn't the only to be wisped away in a flower wonderland, "I am Aerith, I am from Wintergarde.. One moment I was within the plains - and the next I knew I was here."

Elowyn nodded at the white and black colored female. Though she was mostly white, very fitting for someone coming from a pack that lives in the tundra plains. Elowyn nodded. ”My mate is from Northacre. We were matched,” she explained which was basically the essence that bounded all the packs of the Sentinels. ”We were tasked with starting a new pack within the alliance, actually.”

Elowyn felt that recognition of just waking up here. ”There seems to be something very strange going on as we had the same thing. We were looking for a place to settle and suddenly we were in a musty cave!,” she explained. It had all been very shocking. ”Hopefully you haven’t lost your mate?,” she asked. That seemed to be the case with Genevieve.

She moved upwards, a slight wag in her tail and faintest smile while coming closer to the woman. She felt no need to be on guard, and felt but a small connection to the other, for the bond that there was between the packs, no harm would be done. She nodded along as the information came forward, that the other already had a successful engagement with the other pack ; and the two were.. Destined in another land, to form an alliance.

Aerith thought it was nice, though her ears flattened as she looked away with a slight hurt look, "My fiancee chose another. I have no one."

It had been known in Wintergarde ; for the frosted woman was but unwanted goods. What was worse then your own fiancee, choosing your own family as a mate? Family fully accepting for in the end the engagement between the two was successful.. Only leaving Aerith, in shame and sorrow.

the staff team luvs u

Elowyn felt the same as the female, not feeling any need of protection or keeping her guard up with the female. When Aerith revealed that her fiancé picked someone else, she instantly stepped forward to offer her comfort. ”That is terrible,” she spoke. ”I’m so sorry,” she added with compassion. She frowned, not wishing that to anyone. But if her fiancé went for real love, then it might have been acceptable. But the female made it sound like he rather wanted someone else than her.

”Well, you are away from Wintergarde now. I don’t know how to return, maybe you can find a way. But with that happening I doubt you would want to return to Wintergarde?,” she questioned. ”You are welcome to join Windmere and if you want to,” she offered. Perhaps she would find a husband, but if she didn’t want a mate anymore then she might be of help as a Matron. Though she felt that the female was more than worthy of a Husband.

Aerith never truly knew if it was for love or not ; she couldn't assume either way, but still wished, she wasn't thrown away, forced to act happy for the two rather then truly be saddened for what occured. She didn't truly love him either though, as all arrangements would be - they were to be grown into love, but they made her feel so unwanted, so.. Dirt, as if the frost-loved woman was the problem. A toy that was no longer desired, and shelved to the toybox. Though it felt nice, when the woman offered comfort and she accepted ; something that was needed a while ago, but was never received by her family. 

She shook her head, not desiring to return. Though part of her loved her family, it felt difficult to return when they discarded her feelings so much, just for the sake of a union. Aerith thought they loved her, but it seemed to come with conditions.

"I would like to join you."

the staff team luvs u

Elowyn could see that she wouldn’t really like to return. She couldn’t blame her. The female was a potential new friend to her. Elowyn could use some new friends, and she really liked the idea of making new friends. She already had Anastasia, her cousin, but Aerith was completely new. She offered a smile smile. ”I’m glad,” she spoke, her tail wagging softly.

”You should meet my mate, Anteon,” she offered. ”We haven’t settled on a location yet so your input is welcome,” she smiled. ”What kind of interest do you have?,” she asked then. She doubted it would be herbs and medicinal plants since the tundra didn’t offer much of that. But maybe the female surprised her.

"I'm used to the cold.. But I think i'd like to live somewhere as color as here." Used to the tundra plains, she had seen some flowers during the summer and spring seasons when the snow lessened, but the beauty could not be compared to the current one she saw. Within the openess sun was always shining down, but within the grove it was if the sun danced and sprinkled onto the lush meadow, it brought a tranquility that Aerith started to enjoy.

"I'd love to meet everyone.. Though i'm not sure the use I have," the frost woman admitted, "I enjoy singing on occasion."

Edit: Oh I only see now that thread that you have with Tet! I will edit my response! Sorry for the tag Sonia

Elowyn smiled kindly at that, she could totally understand that the female would want to live somewhere more colorful. She dipped her head. ”I’m sure we will find a great place with colorful flowers.” She would vouch that since after all she wanted plants in the territory for healing purposes. Elowyn hoped they would find a territory and not roam endlessly. She was getting used to the travel and liked to have more wolves around her, but her muscles were aching with the contact movement.

”You must be a specialist to open plains,” she complimented. ”Telling time and watching nature?,” she then asked. ”Oh you must sing to us once if you want to. It think it would be a great morale booster,” she offered. Elowyn dipped her head, agreeing with herself. She was still curious about the female though but she didn’t want to bombard her with too many questions. ”What kind of mate would you want for the future?,” she asked curiously then, at least then she would know if the female was interested in having a husband still.

She was nice - bright and brilliant, even the sun seemed to glimmer at Elowyn as it felt Aerith would shy away, and dip into the frosted world of silence. Ignored and forgotten, she felt but a dreary wolf compared to the charming woman before her. An admiration, an envy, as the frosted woman looked down onto her shuffling paws. Her neck was flushed, a compliment rarely received that it generally didn't feel real enough.

Today, felt ethereal; and it was the hope this was not just but a dream. She could only muster a shy nod, before murmuring an answer back.

"I would like someone.. Kind and loyal," someone to not betray, or eyes that stray away.

the staff team luvs u

Elowyn could only nod understandingly at her words. After all that had happened she could imagine the other female would want that. ”We will make sure to find that someone for you,” she offered then. ”I will personally do my best to make sure you get the best,” she spoke. Still, those words of that other female raced through her mind. Forced. Would it really be forced if Aerith wanted a husband? She still hadn’t formed her opinion on it.

”Come let us go to the group. We have another female called Ana, she is from Mystmount. I am sure you will be great friends too.” She lead the way to their current gathering place, making sure the other would follow her, and they could continue their chat during their walk. ”It must be quite warm for you here then?”
the staff team luvs u

"Thank you." As she had no one, Aerith felt a trust toward the warm woman. She really does hope the other would keep to her word, and find a respectable man for herself. She remembered as a child dreaming of a prince charming, and when being paired it was like heaven itself, a foretold day she always were to wait. Yet all would always come crashing down, and there was no comfort for an abandoned woman. At the very least, she was thankful it happened before a true marriage set in.

Getting up from her seated place, she nodded at Elowyn, "It is quite warmer then the plains," her emotions were so full of relief and anxiety she had nearly forgotten the heat that came with. Her paws felt sweaty, "It will take some time.. To get used to."

the staff team luvs u

Elowyn couldn’t imagine living in the cold of the tundra. She felt that she would be cold all the time, which probably made her even more impressed by Aerith and the way she lived before. It would probably be an adjustment for her to even live in a warmer climate. They were moving north though, so Elowyn wasn’t too worried about the fact that the female would really be too hot, like out on the plains or even more south where it was far warmer.

”I’m sure your coat with adjust in no time,” she hummed. ”When I shed my winter coat it always get so itchy!,” she confided in her new friend. ”I usually use the rough bark of the tree to get the thick out off,” she advised Aerith. Still she hoped the female would feel more comfortable here, and at least get the husband she deserved. ”I still can’t imagine how tough you must be to survive out on the tundra,” she complimented. She couldn’t help it.

"Born into, I had gotten used to," her eyes fluttered downward as she smiled rather shyly. She so used to the plains of the tundra that her pelt started to feel hot, and was perhaps thankful that the trees provided minimal shade. She could find herself often retreating to the sunless areas, not desiring the heat upon her that was unused to in the more humid lands. Gazing back at the other, she couldn't remember how she got her winter coat off.. Though time would come, as winter would surely be around the corner.

"What is your pack called?" if she asked earlier, Aerith had forgotten.

the staff team luvs u

Elowyn felt that, more than she realized. Just that born into it. While Aerith probably meant it quite literally, she didn't. But the female still put on a smile. She liked this pale female, and Elowyn hoped they would make great friends. "It is called Windmere," she smiled at the other. "I will show you my husband and the others that decided to join," she spoke and then walked ahead of the other to guide her in the right direction.

End here? I'd love a new one!
