Claiming the Emerald Moon [event]

Seven moved with a purpose as she neared Grizzly Flats. Her ear erect and flickering when she thought she would hear others possibly moving to the spot where she had suggested they meet. Seven gave Corvid the order to meet her at the Emerald Moon if he ran into any others. That was five days ago. She hadn't found anyone. The places she'd been remained unoccupied to her eyes and ears. She sighed, more so puffing the air out leaping over a fallen log in her path. She caught on that a storm brew its way towards the Emerald Forest. She hoped it wouldn't rain until they left Grizzly Flats. The area was prone to mud slides.

As the cliffs came into view, Seven raised her head howling to see where Corvid was. She felt an itch of hope someone else would answer as well, letting her know that others would join them or have joined them. She felt a doubt she fought to keep at bay that perhaps she cannot lead a pack. Gertrude had given her hope, but was she telling the truth? Seven didn't see Gertrude the past few days. The old Matek must be hiding out. She had a way about her sneaking up on Seven the way she did her first night back in the Emerald Forest. The thought annoyed the grey she wolf. Her steps moved into a bound in an attempt to distract herself.

Vixen had been walking somewhat aimlessly throughout the area ever since she had gotten her rest. Sniffing scents, trying to get an idea of who else might have been out there at the same time as her. But it seemed like whenever she felt like a wolf was around the corner, there was nothing. Vixen noted the irony that the one time she wasn't actively looking for wolves was the one time she found one. Or rather, the wolf found her. 

The red wolf had been careful of certain areas. Where the Nomad smell was strong, or other fauna that Vixen did not feel like seeking out. Not on her own, anyway. And so she had always turned around when coming across the Grizzly Flats, again and again. The faint yet consistently present smell of bears was enough for her to be turned off to the whole area. Her size could aid to escape a bear, but it would not if the time came to fight one. But Vixen was finally convinced to step in a little closer when she could hear a howl. Clear as day, coming from the area near Grizzly Flats.

She yipped and shuffled around a bit, momentarily battling her instinct to stay away from the bear area before stepping closer. 'A wolf confident enough to howl in this area..' She pondered. The Hybrid eventually lifted her head up, letting out a howl of her own to hopefully communicate. It started out a little rough and internally she noted it had been awhile since she last howled. But eventually her howl became clearer as she hoped she made the right choice.

Seven flicked her ears as she listened for the one response she expected to hear. Corvid had made a fine impression on Seven and she hoped to enjoy his company when they reunited. Her head tilted, curious of the stranger howl that came first. She certainly didn't expect that. She smell of Bear had all but made the other scents in the area easy to distinguish. She considered who this new wolf could be.

Seven felt relief however once she heard Corvid nearby. He must be alone if the howl cam from another direction. She considered her next course of action. She could meet this new wolf or wait for Corvid to join her. Or...they could both come to her. In her wait, Seven had come to a large clearing just before the cliffs and waited patiently in the tree line. She scanned the area for any signs of Pandora and her cubs but she only smell scents that remained 2 days old and none the sooner.

She raised her head with a response. "Come to me. The tree line in front of the cliffs. All are welcome to walk with the Rising Spirits Pack." That last bit for the new voice she looked forward to putting a name and face to. Even though Seven hadn't seen others, at least there were others roaming the area. For now, she would see this as a good thing. She certainly looked forward to a status report from Corvid.
