The sturdy adolescent had slowly come to realize that it wasn't her imagimation: the surrounding land really was starting to look quite familiar. She had pushed on all that night in excited determination until, tired and foot sore but burning with triumph, she stood at the borders of a pack. It hadn't much bothered her to do so after months of travel had built up her endurance, and it was clear from the layer of fat that existed between shaggy coat and toned young muscle that she had managed to do quite well for herself despite her age, and it had served her well to bring her here. Home.
She did a pleased little caper there on the border before throwing back her young head and howling with a voice that had already gained much of the timbre it would eventually hold when she reached maturity, a clear, bell-like tone that broke the early morning silence that lay over the pack. She wiggled impatiently on the border but didn't cross. She'd been gone so long, what if no one recognized her and thought she was a trespassers? That wouldn't be fun for anyone. So instead she stayed put, though finally she started pacing the border right there, barking out at a volume intending to rouse her family from their beds, "Muuuum! Daaa! Guyyys I'm home! Fable! Valor! Guys I'm back! I made it!"
