Two jumatano ago, in the gleam of the sun's rays, Sheridania watches as her close she-wolf sister from the Earthpack was frolicking with a he-wolf, whom she knows, from the Windpack. Sheridania is part of both packs, and her eyes narrowed as she watched from the darkness of the forest Gemma and Melanthios looking so close, so happy, so contended with each other as they were frolicking in the open area of the forest in the beauty of the sun's warm rays. They were so engaged with each other that they hardly realised Sheridania was there, watching them.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sheridania was in the forest clearing two jumas ago, enjoying the company of the younger she-wolves. The cubs surrounded her, playing with her. Excited, playful and happy barks were heard from that clearing as Sheridania played with the younger ones. She was quite contended with this company.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The ijumaa before the last was a full-moon night. Sheridania went to the High Rock of the mountain. She looked at the moon with longing and heaviness. She threw her head back and gave a long, loud shrilling howwwwl through the silence of the night. Somehow, up in the mountains where she was, a he-wolf heard. Anaru responded, howling and barking back, arranging to meet Sheridania at the mountain's RiverStrong, where the current was too strong for any animal to swim across, becoming nature's barrier. So barred by RiverStrong, Anaru on one side and Sheridania on the other, they walked down the river bank, each on one side, in the moonlit night, as Anaru comforted her and advised her as she poured out her feelings to him. She gained comfort, warmth and strength, even if it was from beyond RiverStrong.
-----------------------------------------------------------
From the High Rock, Sheridania looked down, where she could see the he-wolves, one frolicking with her Earthpack sister, another by the brook lapping the water, another moving from a she-wolf to another, and many other he-wolves roaming the forest and the mountain. She looked at them, with longing in her eyes, and deep within something stirred and cried out. She tossed her head back and howled.
