Her father’s call rang out through Amberjorne, waking the princess up from her nap in the far corner of the lands. She grumbled to herself, rubbing her eyes as she lay, before mustering the energy to stand up. Ayara felt such a strong urge to not attend this meeting…Themis and her father probably had some news for the pack…that honestly, Ayara did not want to think about at all. The lookalike to her deceased mother crawled out from her den, stretching, and letting her skin take in the sunlight. It felt so good to be outside, it made her body feel warm and loved, which her father was not offering as much of lately. He was giving all that love to Themis. She grumbled once again to herself, dismissing the thought.

At this point she was pacing outside of her den, letting thoughts flow freely for the most part. She was spooked by a snap caused by a fellow wolf, whom she had briefly had an encounter with, and then rushed her way to the pack meeting shortly after – she was likely super late as is, and Mabbit, her father, was probably displeased with her at this point. Ayara did not want to care about her father’s opinion, but deep down, she still did. He was the closest relationship she had, following after being Valkyrie, whom Ayara had only seen every once and a while. She did not know what her two other siblings were up to these days, perhaps they had decided to join another pack? No matter. Ayara’s white paws skidded to a stop as she reached the meeting clearing, where many other wolves sit.

Ayara felt anxiety start to bubble up in her. Did she know everyone’s names, like a princess should? Her mind rushed as she started to mentally rehearse, taking a seat near her father and sister. ”Hello father, hello Valkyrie, and hello Themis.” She spoke, her china blue eyes with red flakes similar to her fathers flicked to meet each of their eyes as she spoke their name. Ayara’s words were monotone, directly contrasting her inner mental state as her thoughts whirred around. She recognized Elara and her family, Evangeline (vaguely), Deimus, and Phobus, however, it appeared as if there were new wolves amongst them. Ayara also did not take much note of all the mutations amongst the members, she was only concerned about her father’s and her own: they both had horns, which was pretty cool. Ayara also knew of Themis’s sky-painted pelt, and noted that Valkyrie now had wings. While her thoughts were running, she heard Themis mention something about good news and the gray lass felt her heart sink and her mind groan. If she could assume correctly, she may have new siblings in the future, and frankly, she did not know how to feel about that.
