Remember Every Scar

The call that reached her ears was hauntingly familiar. It had been years since she'd seen him - six, to be exact. Epiphron had been close to her cousin when Valhalla had first traveled to these lands, but his time spent with his family had seemingly been short. Though so much had changed since then, she recognized his voice. Her heart clenched painfully in her chest; could this be true? Where had he been all these years, and why was he back now? Shaking her head as she stood, feeling temporarily dazed, she would direct herself toward his call..

Her pawsteps were precarious as she made his way to the border. It seemed too good to be true to find another relative alive and (hopefully) well. His call was likely meant for someone like Leo, but she couldn't pass up this chance to reunite with her cousin. Epiphron's pace would quicken as he came into view, a faint dream-like smile touching her lips at the sight of him. He looked so much older, but she knew she did too. Leon had seemed so much older than her back then - but look at him now, she thought quietly, mentally chuckling as she drew closer and lowered her head as she got a good look at him. "Cousin," she'd breathe as she came within earshot, moving forward as though to embrace him, but pausing before doing so."It's been... so long." Her voice was brimming with quiet emotion as she studied his aged face, searching for some sort of solace that he was still the wolf she remembered.
