used to be my home, once

Askan couldn't really remember much, the whole dying thing had done a number on his memory. That and the length of time he'd been away made everything seem fuzzy, out of sorts. Like waking up from a deep and dark sleep. Even as he stared up at the looming Hallowed towers he felt...weird. Like he'd finally found his way home, but also hadn't at the same time. Breathing deep-which felt off since yanno, ghosts don't tend to breathe- he barely caught the pack's scent. Like it wafted right through him instead of settling in his nostrils as it ought to. Tsking, he kicked at a stone only for it to phase right through his paw. Right. He was here, but not really here.
Which meant he could have wandered right into Hallowed grounds, as would have been his right if that fish-faced prick hadn't killed him...Ok ok, even Askan knew it was a mercy kill but still, there was no dignity to be found when dying like that. Lost and forgotten, like he'd never mattered at all. Maybe that's why he'd never tried to come back till now, cause he knew no one noticed, let alone cared.
So why now? Cause it was easier, like really easy to cross on over. Like the veil didn't exist any more, like being didn't need someone to help him follow through. Just he himself and a mountain of salt and spite.
"Wonder if that bastard goose is still here." He wondered to himself, hoping that it didn't.
