The Hilmar, the to be King of these mounts, would heed her call. 

He had heard her beckoning howl from a mile off where he had been busying himself with skirting the very edges of Northfall's borders, an ever observant Sentinel of Winter. He had, of course, wasted no time in making his way towards the beacon. 

When sapphire eyes laid upon the she wolf of dark fur, he'd been certain this decision was a good one. Through the high reaching evergreens and pines the beast thundered, hefty paws sending up dust and plumes of snow with each heavy footfall. 

“Greetings, wolfkin.” Adonis' voice, gravelly and akin to a rolling storm, called. To outsiders, the wolf was typically brash, calloused, rude. Confrontational. But this dainty lady would pose no threat, and she sought out his presence for a reason. “Tell me your name, and why you have come.”

The immediate drop into a bow of courtesy brought a brow to raise upon the wolven King's scarred complexion. It appeared it was obvious who staked his claim over these frozen mountains, and it brought a pleased rumble to pull from the herculean Adonis' chest. His tail, once aloft above his pelvis, relaxed into a most neutral position; thinly wagging. He grew more friendly, more welcoming.

“Amalthea,” He heeded her name with a dip of his own crown, a kind gesture, one of acknowledgement. “I am called Adonis. There is no such need for formalities, not from you. I am not your King.” He spoke. Not yet... perhaps. He wondered. 

At her request, the wolf found himself watching her quietly. If it had been any other wolf asking, it would have been a bitter no. But this wolfess, so dainty, so kind... he found himself compelled to grant her her wish. It did not stem from allure, no; it was something paternal. “I could not turn you away. My only condition is that I accompany you.”

The wolf began a slow, ample turn to lead Amalthea in the direction of Northfall's highest peak. “It is a long walk.”

He gave the she-wolf a flick of his tail, a silent motion which ushered her to follow. Adonis was mostly silent as he began scaling the mountain tops, leading the stranger through the winding trails and paths that led through his winter domain. 

Occasionally, the wolf would look back over his shoulder, sapphire eyes glazed with something warm leering upon the lady. Eventually, he cleared his throat to break the silence, chin tilting lightly upwards as he returned his eyes to the path ahead. 

“I take you do not stay with a Pack?” He asked, perhaps fishing for information. 

Eventually, the two of them would crest the top, and the wolf pushed onwards through the snow. “The snow is thickest here. Careful to not drown.” It was a warning, but also a half tease, as he stopped and turned. “We have arrived.”

Her being consumed by the snow had come as no surprise to the brute, and he watched with mere indifference, though amusement was aglow within his gaze. He turned halfway away from her, face facing the peak she had asked to reach, awaiting her lead. And so she did, but he did not follow. He simply watched curiously, pondering over what she may have been doing. 

His answer came when she invited him to prayer, and the wolf's brows lifted curiously. He was not a man of faith, but he supposed he'd indulge her. He approached swiftly, coming to sit upon the snowy outcrop alongside her. 

“How will we-” He was cut off by the sudden sound of her howl, this time nearer, closer, louder. He watched in silence, eyes aglow with the light of the moon. And then his own head tilted back, and his warm vox filtered into the night sky, brassy howl followed by the wisp of his cold breath.
