They hunted. The sisters of the stripes. For they were in preparation for a ritual, and where Sera didn't believe in gods and rituals, she would not deny the power to her new leader and her family. The disrespect it could bring if she were to deny the requests of Wardruna. So they hunted and slaughtered.
Sera took the blood across her face with pride, a smile beaming on her maw as she closed her eyes and absorbed the power it brought her, the feelings that overtook her with each stroke to her features. A deep breath left her chest at the words that were spoke, the licking of the purple flame bringing a crackling as they brought branches to its arms.
She would sing as others lit their flames, their torches, she would howl and bring her pitchy tunes to the world as she would let her throat become raw and her paws become sore from the dancing that soon ensued.
Sera finally felt at home for the first time in so long.
