{{Zigana belongs to me, but she is not yet finished}}
With a shiver, the dark wolf looked to the sky. She'd recently met with Qaletaqa and Taavi, but where were the others she wondered. She hoped that nothing had happened to them on the way to their final destination, destiny could not be so cruel, but then she had been taught that it very often could. One could only pray for others safety and so she looked to the sky and spoke quietly, "Guide those who have not yet arrived safely here." She was never certain that it worked, which she had been told could make it so that it would not, but she was inclined to believe it, because to not do so would have her worried out of her mind.
With that said, she howled, for any of the stragglers in case they had somehow become lost. Whether or not they would still recognize her voice depended on how much they had listened before. It would be wonderful when they were all finally together, then they could hold a whole pack meeting, one where song and dance would feature. How beautiful it would be when her pack-mates came together, as long as nothing occurred to make them all miserable. That was something she thought about and feared, but tried not to be pessimistic for the so called self fulfilling prophesy.
Quietly she waited, one her long howl was finished, carried on the breeze of the late night.

The moment the howl met YooNa's ears, the blue femme was happy to give a soft call back to the female. She had been looking forward to this meeting, the meeting that would show her the true light. Finally.. she could have herself in a true home with others that were just as strange as herself. Her stories could be valued to amuse pups and adults alike instead of getting her kicked from their territories.
When she came upon the female, though, she had to pause in her movements and lower her head slightly out of respect. The other was.. beautiful and delightful, the light of the moon making her even more so.
"It is lovely to see you, Your Grace." Came her tone softly, showing respect as she knew this femme would be the one to lead them. There was simply no mistaking it when she looked at her. She would be a wonderful leader and they would live rich, full lives.
"I apologize for not arriving sooner."

Zigana's ears flickered as she heard an answering call. It sounded feminine. The only other female she'd run across on her trails whom had seemed at all interested in her ideas. Had it all started over her strange obsession with the thing she carried in her mouth, her tambourine? Perhaps, perhaps not. There had been those though whom had been curious about it and some who had thought her crazy. Yet the music it made brought comfort to her as well as delight. Who could not enjoy it and anything that went with it, from songs and dance to tales of old and new. Nature itself made music, though not everyone realized it. Then again, she had been taught from a very early age about music and had learned to appreciate it.
The blue female was lovely in her own rights, in Zigana's mind. They were unique, but that was always a good thing. Moonlight looked lovely on blue and she was glad she'd not be the only female in the pack, as long as YooNa had come to give her fealty to her and the Gypsy Song Pack.
She gave a nod of her head in greeting. "Hello Miss. YooNa. It is a delight to see you here. I am glad that you did come after all, and do not worry about the lateness of the hour. I could just have as easily been late myself. I did not quite realize how long it might take to get from one place to another. I am just glad that you arrived at all and in one piece. There could have been any matter of creature you could have run into, and with hindsight I wish I had met you all at the Weeping Willow Tree. Yet I had wished to scout the area out and make sure no unsavory characters were here." She smiled with her dark purple eyes and gave a sway of her tail.
"How was your journey here? Did you run into any problems?"

"Not at all, Your Grace." YooNa was delighted that the other was concerned for her well being. The Alphas that she had met before were not always so caring, as they were normally much more concerned about power and strength. That was one of the reasons she admired Zigana so much, and was happy to serve underneathe her.
"I met with the group. Quite a few males, most of them were quite pleasant." Her mind drifted to the three she had come across. Knight, who had been a little hostile. Taavi, who's colouration stuck out more than anything. And Qaletaqa, who's name she still struggled with. But she was content to know that they would be fellow pack mates in this odd journey that she was about to start with them.
"I must admit that I'm really thrilled, Your Grace, that things are starting to take off. It reminds me of a story that the trees spoke of.. A strong hearted female would rise above and take care of those around her. Her kindness and love only rivaled by the beauty that she held. She would keep all of them happy and playful, and the world would be at piece around them for all of their years.."

Zigana was not so used to being addressed so formally, but then she had never had such an elevated status. Until they were all together she would wait and decide whether or not she preferred being called so formally. Perhaps she thought, it would be best to wait until she was assured of their loyalties before allowing them to just call her Zigana. She was new to this form leadership, but was glad even so to have potential members.
Her eyes seemed to twinkle, "Yes, are they not? Each one of them interesting in their own right. Have you had a chance to converse with each of them? Qaletaqa, I hope he will come out of his shell. He may not speak as you or I, but if you have had a chance to look into his eyes, I think he has intelligence even if his mouth can not meet it. Qaletaqa and Taavi arrived earlier, now that you are here, only Knight is missing."
Zigana's eyes smiled, trees telling tales, well and they could she believed. "Yes, and the trees, most of them have been upon this world longer than ourselves or even our grandparents, the winds even longer. I look forward to hearing many tales. Let us hope that the peaceful days will remain throughout the years to follow, and all good deeds and stories you will gain and tell us and pass on to an apprentice someday. Let us hope that the Gypsy Song will gain more so that there may be more to enjoy your riveting voice and the stories you carry upon the tip of your tongue."
Still she had to be certain that YooNa accepted her as the Alpha, by words, an oath of some kind. "Miss. YooNa, I spoke a song before and I hope you recall it. I said then that those who recalled it would be the ones whose heart long the most to follow my leadership. It is our anthem. I shall begin it and I hope that you will finish it as best as you can recall."
And so she began the anthem, that would be passed down throughout the generations as long as they were lucky and always prepared for whatever life might dish out to them. Her voice lyrical and husky, with a tinge of a Romani accent, from which some of the travelers had been descended across the waters.
"Come and hear the tambourine—
Come and join the dance!
Spinning silks in shades of light
Velvet dark as shadowed night.
Gold and silver buy your future—
Pasteboard cards with faded ink. "
She looked to YooNa to finish the anthem. It was different than the song she sang, which had caught each potential members attention while she had been alone, simply dreaming of a new life from that which she had led. She need not yet know it exactly, but at least most of it, for then Zigana would truly believe that YooNa accepted her as the Alpha of a rising new pack, the Gypsy Song Pack.

Yoona's eyes lit the moment she heard the song, her head bowing a little before she nodded her head. Of course, she remembered it, as she had so many dreams with that very song playing through her mind.
When promted, her tail wagged and she leaned forward.
"Caravans by a smokey campfire glow,
Keeping secrest gypsies know.
Restlessly, we go our way.
We were not meant for hearth or town.
Whirling dancers with eyes like jet,
Centuries have not tamed us yet!"
And she had to bow her head a little, showing that she knew the important signifigance. Zigana was her alpha, and she knew the song by heart. Her dreams were always important, YooNa had never failed to memorize any story or song that would be of value to one wolf or another.
