How long has it been?

It took him several moments, but he finally forced himself back to his paws. If he was imagining this scent then surely it would have left him by now. But instead it just grew stronger as the wind picked up for a moment and blew it more in his direction. He swallowed and tried to calm himself a bit before he padded forward to follow the scent, making a quick glance back over his shoulder to make sure the pups were still tucked away before he went on. He wouldn't go far of course, but he just couldn't let this chance slip away. Soon enough Ashelynn's gray form came into view and Solaris stopped in his tracks again. The last time he had seen his niece she had just been a tiny pup. Now here she was, practically a full grown adult. She had to be at least a year old now, but he couldn't think about that for long. The worry and the guilt that slammed into him at the sight of Ashelynn's thin, malnourished form knocked all the other thoughts from his head. "You're the only one left. Don't be a stranger to these puppies." That had been Sere's last words to him. And here he was, a complete stranger to this girl. And where was her brother? Why were they not looking out for eachother? Where was the woman that had promised to look after them? He forced himself forward so that he could come around to face her, making sure to give her a comfortable distance. He shouldn't have left. He should have stayed with them. "Ashelynn," he said softly, realizing as he said it that she probably would have no idea who he was. He cleared his throat while he tried to think of something to say. "Um... My name is Solaris. I'm... well, I'm your uncle. I know this is weird and maybe you won't believe me. I just... I can't believe I found you." He stopped himself from rambling and waited for some kind of reaction from her. He tried his best to keep his gaze on hers so he wouldn't look at her ribs and thin form. He was already trying to think of where he could find some food for her. He was going to have to hunt for something for the kids anyway so perhaps he could find something big enough to feed all of them. |
