skill: expert guardian

A call sounds for the Queen of the North. Raisa was home, returned from her latest venture. The last had been quite a successful one indeed and Northfall was a pack which allowed their members to roam in and out of the lands freely. It was how Raisa brought home Bogart. How Alder formed his bond with Sølvi and now would be strengthening the ties between the packs. How Northfall and Elysium were close despite the many miles between them.

The scent of the bear was strong, stronger than Raisa's own scent, so there was a few fleeting moments where Wardruna suddenly began to panic: the blood flushing to her cheeks and as she begins to run she is panting heavy in anxiety and fear. Then, Raisa's scent hits her all around. Purposeful markings in the area where the bear's scent was strongest. Then Wardruna's mind let her remember that Raisa's call had not been one of desperation. And there, ahead in the ravine in wait, was Raisa.

Fuck, Raisa, you about gave me a heart attack… She said through pants as she now came at a slower pace, heavy steps closing slowly between them. I take it you know this bear? A bear!? Wardruna recalled the tigers, but definitely not that.

Well thank the gods for that. She said with a sigh of relief. Wardruna was completely at ease that she would not have to fight a bear in order to try and save Raisa. That hadn't worked out too well for her father and well, Sreda had already claimed the position of the partner with the one good eye. … Did Wardruna just say partner in her thoughts!?

And a mother!? Wardruna hadn't expected a bear for a mother, for sure she knew Raisa's father was a tiger and she hadn't ever actually met her mother but… wait a minute no, her mother definitely had to at least be canine- Raisa was canine! Wardruna thought using the tree to have babies was wild enough, but creating babies between different species!? Well, love was blind they say. (So wait does that mean there is more of a chance for Sreda to love her now??)

I am glad you've finally reunited after such a long winter… Wardruna followed Raisa's path along the slopes of the ravine as she said that her mother would now join her here. Wardruna didn't even realize, but she said nothing on the matter. To Wardruna, there was not a question of if Shreya could stay or not with her family. Plenty of caves with damn good views she can choose from next winter's coming.

Raisa, her sister and the remnants of Seiiki had come to live among the Northfallen and since then things had turned up for Raisa. She found devotion and longing in Bogart, had pups on the way and now had reunited with her mother. Internally Wardruna feared that with things so incredibly well, the once leader would want to return to her former place among the blood forest. Selfishly so, Wardruna did not want that, knowing already how deeply the woman and her sister's absence would reflect on Northfall.
