stand bright and thick together
When Neverland had collapsed in on itself, Asha had come out the other side of that strange black hole alone in someplace entirely unfamiliar. No Rufio, let alone anyone else that she recognized. Only the faces of so many strangers and the facades of abounding new lands. Towns and cities with walls that surrounded them and reached for the skies, that she wandered, searching. She didn't know this place, didn’t know what it was called, but she knew one thing for certain.
Without Rufio at her side, the hyena felt almost restless. She trusted nobody the way she did Rufio, the way she'd given him her loyalty. But, something was there, perhaps the same way it would blossom inside her companion, wherever it was on the world that he walked. It was a magnetic pull, a sort of otherworldly beckoning, causing her to walk almost unknowingly on a path directly toward him. How he might find his feet carrying him toward that land in the northern portion of Novus; Eluetheria Plains, mirroring her own.
She crossed over cliffs, through swamps, meadows and water, into a forest. The same as he might walk through sand covered streets and sun-bathed desert, unwittingly, without thought, toward his bonded. Something changed, when Asha took the first step out of the forest and into plains with grasses so high they brushed across her head when she walked. And Rufio, too, drawn by some invisible thread, might step into the same prairie swaying in the breeze.
Something inside her changed. It was as though the Hyena could feel him, although she couldn't see him. Was it possible that he was nearby, just outside her line of sight? Over some hill, beyond a thicket of grasses? "Rufio? she searched for him with her mind, hoping that he could hear her. Hoping that whatever the feeling was that was inside her was also inside him. Guiding him along the same unseen path that would lead them directly to each other, reuniting them.
Asha moved more quickly through the winter-dry grasses, rustling, rustling, following the feeling in her heart that told her Rufio was nearby. Could he feel it too, the strengthening of their connection now that they were almost together again? Could he hear her calling to him, reaching out for him? All she had to do was find him, or him find her. All the seconds that Asha searched, she hoped to see a streak of red and black and gold in the sea of brittle brown surrounding her.

@Rufio will be drawn by some invisible pull away from the deserts of Solterra, and into the golden sea of grass that makes up Eluetheria Plains. Should he follow his instincts and step into the plains, where the grass grows tall and thick and bends like waves in the wind, he may become aware of a voice, whispering in the back of his mind, growing louder. A voice he recognizes, that he wasn't sure he would ever hear again.
At that point, it is only a matter of finding his Bonded as she calls out to him.
