The white and pink striped wolfess stood upon a rock that overlooked a large field of coral flowers. It stretched to the horizon and to her right, disappearing into nothing but brightly colored sky of pinks and orange. To her left, mountains, behind, forest. Cortana breathed in, dark pink nose twitching lightly, deep pink eyes fixed somewhere on the far horizon. It didn't take long to find what she was looking for... a circle approximately one hundred feet in diameter where the growth was small and freshly green. Muscles recoiled and sprang, pink paws leaving the rock. Large white wings unfurled from her sides, beating a few times until she'd risen twenty or so feet above the ground. Soaring most of the way, the fey touched down just before the spot she'd seen, careful not to harm the flowers.
Shaking out her thick coat, Cortana fixed her eyes on the spot once more, pink tipped tail giving a slow lash. This is where it began. This is where her fight for these lands had taken place and where she'd become who she was. These flowers and her struggle to take them where what gave her that sense of life, that want for preservation. This place was the determining factor to standing against Lestat at the final. Here is where she turned friend to enemy and enemy to friend. She would not have it forgotten.
Cortana breathed in a long, slow breath, feeling the heat well up in her chest. She let it out slowly in a long ribbon of fire, charring the new growth in the same pattern as before. For as long as the pack was hers, she'd make sure this spot remained the same as when she'd come. It may look crazy to others, but for her it was ensuring sanity.. She never wanted to be the same her again... Little knew the other Cortana and few still knew the new one. If it was her decision to make, all who knew her prior self would soon forget.
The wolfess lifted he nose to the darkening skies and let out a silvery note. It called for one and only one. Blade. He was more her son and companion than he was his father's or mother's. Cortana felt it was partially her fault for his dark upbringing, knowing he still had much to learn... And she was eagar to share with him.
A hunt. Cortana had not been out of the pack lands since the mountain's explosion, fearing what might happen to her in her weakened state. But she was up to par now, fully revitalized and ready to stand against any that stand to destroy her and the ones she loved. Standing tall in the smoldering circle, the wolfess waited.
