I can do great things!

She wasn't quite sure just how she managed to find her way back to her father's pack lands, but the relief nearly stole her legs from beneath her as she realized she stood at the edge of one of the waterfalls that littered Sunset Falls. Her grey ears fell back on her crown and she looked around, baby blues finding nothing as she hoped for a familiar face, anything to tell her she was not only imagining the smell of her father's scent. It wrapped around her like a second fur, and she found herself closing her eyes, letting the weakening sunlight warm her soul for a moment. There was a thought of her siblings and father, knowing that eventually someone would be along, but for now she enjoyed the peace that came with homecoming. The princess was nervous about her latest chunk of missing time, and her mind tail spun into thoughts of her mother and what she could remember of the female. Would she be like her one day? Would she just lose her mind and abandon her family? Sure, there had been moments of awareness for her, but she was always lost and couldn't focus.

She needed her father, pronto! Letting back her head, Heather sang out for him to urgently come to her. There was no doubt in her mind that he would come for her. She was the princess of Fiori, she couldn't simply blackout and walk away one day. When her song ended, she lay in the moss that grew beside the water, hanging her snow capped paws over the edge to settle in for the wait. There was no telling if Leo would be busy. She only hoped he could forgive her for her long absence, Heather had only meant to stay gone a couple of days. She was learning about others and gaining sparring partners to train for challengers. Then, she got lost and panicked, and then nothing for a while until she became aware beside the falls. Heather hoped her father would make it soon, she felt as though she would break at any moment, and fear had a hold of her heart. What if they couldn't fix it?
