    She had spent so long searching, searching, searching. It felt like forever, and she still had not found them. After some time she felt herself drawn back to the sea, as always, following the coastline and wave patterns as though they were the most natural form of navigation. The wind and the sea always were more reliable than any map she'd ever read.


    The journey led Canopus to a border, one she didn't recognize but one that smelled of salt and mist. It was comforting, brought a smile to the maned wolf's expression which had been solemn for so many moons. If there were a good sign in the world, this was it. This was a place where she felt belonging tugging at her heart, and if her other half were to know where to find her, it would be here. Her own journey had proven fruitless; perhaps it was time to rest.


    Cannie raised her head to the wind, smiling even wider now as she took in the scents. Silver eyes peered into the horizon, hoping to find someone coming near soon enough. "Hello? I would like to stay in this place, please," she called out uncertainly, blue tail sweeping the ground in a nervous tick.

    //Welcome to riverfam! ^^


    Obscuro knew what it was like to search fruitlessly for one's other half. Bck when Obscuro first believed that Hecate was alive- her first mate; she had left bloodclan in a haste, searched through jungle and swamps alike before finally descending into madness- admitting that Hecate was gone- that she wasn't coming back. Now again she was searching, watching the border and delving into loner lands to search once again- for the daughter of hers. Willow was missing- ran away. It would take years before the beast fall into the same conses as she did with hecate, but there was little doubt that Obscuro would recover from madness a second time.


    Obscuro's essence seemed to be tainted by tragedy. The life of immortally living on the earth- making connections only for them to break and disintegrate with death; it was nature. Death was in everyone's nature but apparently Obscuro's.


    Obscuro's weariness in approaching the newcomer was well hidden, but the way she watched- it was clearly lurking beneath the mask of casual difference. Light azure eyes watched the maned wolf as Obscuro approached. A smile splitting her features as she took on the role of welcoming the newcomer into their midst. "Welcome to Riverclan then. I am Obscuro"

    ✹


    Cannie gave a soft smile and dipped her head in greeting to the approaching resident, relaxing her previous childish grin. It was nice that this wasn't a place where she had to convince someone of her worth to join. Perhaps she had already sensed that this would be much simpler, considering how welcoming the waves always were. "Thank you, Obscuro. My name is Canopus, and I very much appreciate the welcome." Her natural formality felt much more comfortable here.


    Twitching her ears, she glanced around once more, taking in the sights before her. "Might I ask where camp is? I'd love to get to know the others who reside here."


    Shining had never gone out to search for someone so desperately. It was the reverse; others had spent so much time and energy searching for him. A few times before he had disappeared on his friends and family without any forewarning, or goodbyes. The tom didn't have a choice in such matters. How was he to explain? He was currently facing this problem with Littlestar- the Hawkclan leader was furious at him for leaving her behind without a sufficient explanation. But the truth would probably scare her away.


    No good way to handle it. Such was his curse.


    The winged feline liked walking near the beach. The sound and smell of the waves would always help him relax- even if just for a moment. His daily walk led him to Obscuro and a stranger- a newcomer, to put it accurately. Shining was always happy to have a new face join the clan. "Ah, welcome! The camp's to our west from here- we'll help you get settled in. I'm Shininglight, the Captain of Riverclan. Nice to meet you!" he greeted.

    TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Landing just after shine came the large black scaled dragon, landing with a heavy thud and a flap of multiple wings before they settled back into place, twin pairs of solid white eyes rose to greet the newcomer "names Khabeleth, welcome to Riverclan" it was always nice to see new faces around camp.

    Val had never had to search for anyone before. Everyone he'd ever known stayed close to him or only left for short times. Unfortunately, the longer someone was away, the more they seemed to slip his mind. He was awfully forgetful, he knew that. But, if all of his family and friends were to stay put, why would he ever need to look for them? In his mind, there was nothing that could separate himself from his clanmates for very long.


    The little lion cub - really not so little anymore - bounded over and stopped beside Kha. This wolf had very pretty fur, he noticed. And, her name was cool, too. "Hello, Can'pus," he greeted, testing it on his tongue. "'m Val!"  


    ✹


    Cannie couldn't help but feel a warmth spread in her heart as her new clanmates gathered to welcome her. It was so nice to live somewhere so welcoming; it meant that she wouldn't need to be concerned if her old partner came looking for her here.


    The maned wolf dipped her head again, this time to Shininglight. Captain sounded like the leader position, at least in her mind. "Thank you so much, Shinginglight." She looked around to the others, offering each of them a soft smile. "It is so good to meet you all, I look forward to living here with each of you."


    the sound and commotion of everyone gathering to greet someone was what had drawn the petite feline over from his studies and experiments. there had been quite a few joiners, lately. which was.....actually quite good. usually wylan didn’t like the flush of many, many new faces but he was growing to like it. anything to bury the memories and pain and loss, he supposed. so without another thought, wylan turned off the burner that he was currently using at his little lab-station set up, slid his goggles back upon his forehead, and pushed himself up and into motion to go and see who had come to their border.


    it didn’t take long for the ginger-hued feline to arrive at the scene, being his station was quite on the very outskirts of the territory for.....safety reason. so, he arrived promptly and was, luckily, able to hear her name from afar and he came to a close on the distance. the blue named wolf was.....most definitely something he had never seen before. So for a moment, he was quiet. just taking in the rather gorgeously colored cerulean canine before them with a subtle awe. but.....there was far more to her than her coloring that he wasn’t picking up on.....she didn’t.....she didn’t seem quite.....what was the word? Earthly? no, that wasn’t it. perhaps it’d come to mind later. after letting everyone else talk and the area grew silent, wylan found his moment to introduce himself. "Im wylan van eck," wylan would introduce, his voice as soft and quite as ever, "Its a pleasure to have you here, Canopus. If you need anything, I can help as well," shining light had already offered to help get settled in, so that was the best he could do for now.
