Cloud||Female||6 years old||Loner||Mentions: Kerrin

"Yes it's me, surprise?" she spoke, her voice was the same as ever, just it carried a tiredness to it that it hadn't before. She was glad he was happy to see her, although she didn't have the energy to even know how she felt. She was glad to see him, but she also felt a deep shame. He still cared about her after everything she'd done to him, she'd never felt like more of a failure than she did right now. "I'm home. What I had to do is done, I'm sorry for what I did" she spoke, ear resting against her head. Although she knew what she had done was unpleasant but necessary, his kind words jsut made her hurt more. She hadn't felt these emotions since she left, having reverted back to her cold and hostile self. "My injuries are old, I just need to rest. How are the pups?" she asked him, her mind had thought about her offpring every day. "I missed you all" she spoke. It was true, but only now did she know it to be so.

Kerrin | Male | 6 years | Beta

"I hadn't slept in a week; I was weak, I was awake; You'd never seen a bastard orphan more in need of a break."

"A little, I've got to admit," Kerrin chuckled, rubbing his tawny head under his woman's muzzle. His mistress, Coquin, had escaped his mind for now, but would surely resurface later. His face fell as Cloud mentioned their offspring, memories of Izusa's leaving flooding into his mind. "They're... well. Okay no, only one of them is," he admitted, gazing into her eyes, "Izusa... left. Ran away. Because of my sister for the most part. Storm's doing fine hopefully. He'd gone away to Starseeker for special training. Wintergreen's been... distant... since you left."

Wendigo | Male | 7 months | Delta Tau

Wendigo slumped onto his pelt bed, his muscles stiff from the strenuous activity. There was no hesitation between the young male and sleep, which he greeted with a comfortable curl of his body. Throughout his hours of sleep, the male had changed positions several times over, ending up belly-up before the roarous snoring coming from Veena disturbed him awake. "Vee," he complained in hushed tones, rolling onto his belly, "Shut up!" A small, white paw was aimed in her direction, its blunt wrath let loose on the female's rump.

Storm | Male | 1 year | Apprentice

"I probably shouldn't brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish; The scholars say I got that same virtuosity and brains as my Pops; The ladies say my brain's not where the resemblance stops ... Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder."

"Hurry up!," Storm shouted, galloping forward with renewed spirits. He recognized that boulder; the group was getting closer! A squirrel skull bounced against his gray chest, suspended by a sinew thread, and a knife stuck in a holster strapped to his leg bounced slightly. Thoughts of regaling the tales of his time in Starseeker to his father drove him further. Though he wasn't quick in speed, his thoughts raced quick enough for both body and mind.

Feeling his head under her muzzle made her smile softly, it was something she had missed. For now she was happy to be home, that was until she heard the news about her pups. Her entire face dropped, a look of utter dispair was written all over it. She looked straight back into his eyes, slowly a look of determination filled them. "Ok" was all she could reply, feeling like it was her fault they were gone. She also felt like Kerrin should've tried harder, after all it was difficult to always blame yourself for everything. Right now she just wanted to see Wintergreen, the only pup she had left. Walking she began to head home, soon breaking into a jog. It was taking everything she had to keep this up, but she wasn't about to stop until she reached camp. Soon she was there, at the edge of camp she stared in. This was home, she was not planning on leaving again.

"I hadn't slept in a week; I was weak, I was awake; You'd never seen a bastard orphan more in need of a break."

"I'll get them back. We'll get them back," Kerrin promised, gazing at Cloud with incredible admiration. HIs legs moved with an excited gait, keeping pace with the blanche she-wolf beside him. They broke the tree line in no time, the shimmering lake reflecting the brilliant moon and pinpoint stars. "You're home," he breathed in awe. Instinctively, his snout raised and a baritone song, obviously filled with love and excitement for his love's return, sliced through the sky. "Cloud has returned!," the Beta bellowed, an announcement heavily caked in ecstasy. Giddy eyes scanned around for the monochrome pelt of Wintergreen, who, upon her arrival, would no doubt be greeted with jubilation.

Odysseus | Ancient of Prophecies and the Future

The midnight raven soared overhead of the romping cub, watching her with a slightly amused expression. Odysseus had brought her in this dreamscape himself, as he had her uncle once or twice. He dove downward, soaring beside the young female and keeping pace. His talons outstretched and he landed in the ethereal grass as Ayame halted, a thin smile across his sharp beak. "Hello, little cub," he murmured, his vocals echoey and kind.

Storm | Male | 1 year | Apprentice

"Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder."

Storm broke into the treeline, scent-heavy air wafting into his nostrils. He stopped beside a thick shrub, snout stuck hellward as he drew in every available aroma. The lingering scent of his father stuck to the grass, accompanied by another, only slightly familiar smell. "This way!," he chirped, galloping even quicker towards camp.

Annabelle | Female | 6 years | Warrior

"It's Annie, you pumpkin-colored dolt!," The she-wolf shouted jokingly, "The elixir's for my father. I just had to... taste it. Y'know, to see if it was poison." Several sinew necklaces and necklets, both long and short, beat gingerly against her chest, all of which had been made as gifts for her upon the woman's departure. Various feathers, bones, and small skulls adorned the majority of the necklaces, though her favorite was a demure choker, situated just below her bottom jaw and decorated with a sapphire and enstatite pendant, the gem representing the matriarch's odd eyes. A sparkling crystal shone from a piercing in her left ear, standing out brilliantly from the tannish fur. She'd been treated well through her time in Starseeker, immediately being absorbed in a clan of older females, who crafted jewelry and sewed, passing on their skills to Annabelle. She cantered to catch up with the two boys, now three with Ruari, and followed Storm's over-ecstatic approach into the Sunrise courtyard.
