The heat of summer had further tried out the tall, tan grasses to almost a rich golden. Grassy Plains waved gently in the warm, comforting summer breezes, it's hues quite oridinary for a Northern territory. Green was nearly absent this far up the island, except for the occasional pine tree that scattered the flat terrain. Blue, brown, and yellows seemed quite common to the eyes of the creature that lived here, but green was hardly forgotten.
It was toward a group of the rare pine trees that the Alphess of the land and pack moved swiftly. Her coat resembled the wisps of clouds that danced across the sky above, it's snowy color only damaged by specks of dirt and pieces of grass laying her back. She had to weave her away along an almost hidden trail through the tall grasses, but the vegetation about never stopped dirting up her coat as she brushed against everything. Still, the lead drappa trod on, and soon reached where she had intended.

Narcis pulled to a hault beside the four pine trees that were clustered beside the stream. This was the only source of water that ran through her land, but it curled about rather nicely through Grassy Plains so that one would not have to walk to far if they wanted a drink. The small group of pines was actually very special, because they had a small opening in the center of them, where their roots stretched up out of the ground to form a nice den. It could easily fit four wolves, but more could be squeezed in. The Alphess had found this place quite easily after she had claimed it, and now she thought of it as the center of her packlands. Because not only did the roots rise up to form dens, but she could stand on top of them for pack meetings. Yes, this truelly was the center of her pack.
Standing just outside of the pines now, the moonwash'd drappa looked about expectantly. Not long ago, she had claimed a young female, Rosada, and had lead the lean light brown varg to this place. It wasn't a problem for the Alphess to find her way through the fields, which was probably the reason she had slipped ahead. Narcis wasn't sorry she had gone ahead, because this could proove a test for Rosada for her tracking skills. Still, the snowy leader hoped she would not been seen as cruel for accidently leaving her pack member behind.

Rosada had, in fact, gotten a little bit lost in the tall grasses. It was still difficult for her to move about through the packlands, but she knew that she would get used to it. She had completely lost sight and sound of the lead Drappa, but Narcis's scent was fresh and strong on the tall, golden grass so Rose found it easy to follow.

Suddenly, she spotted a small group of dark pines rising above the plains. The alphess's scent led right to it, so she made her way towards the odd, lonely-looking trees. When she came through the grass and found Narcis waiting expectantly for her, she smiled and panted in happiness. "I was beginning to think I'd never find you again," she muttered teasingly. Her soft, honey-colored eyes took in the strange pine roots and she cocked her head inquisitively. "What odd-looking trees," she muttered quietly. Her occs turned once more to Narcis and she said, "Nature works in mysterious ways, doesn't it?"

The multi-colored femme moved closer and sniffed around the bases of the trees. The roots were definitely sturdy enough and she quite enjoyed the den-like quality that they had. She waved her tail slightly as she sat down before the alphess. "Well, I like it," she said decisively, smiling once more. Yes, she could get used to it here easily.
