Floral & Fading

It'd been what felt like ages since she'd last seen Regulus. Was it when Liar had challenged Regulus for Celestial? It was hard to tell anymore. She'd meant to visit him ages ago - it was wrong of her to neglect her family. She'd created Lirim and, as far as appearances were concerned, abandoned the other half of her family still residing in Celestial. She hadn't meant for it to seem like that, but a part of her was afraid to go back. What state would she find the pack in and, most importantly, could she face being there again. The death of Surreal still weighed heavily on her mind and she new seeing the plains again would bring all those hidden feelings to the surface. She'd sucked them up and shoved them down into the deepest recesses she could, trying to get over it so she could be strong for everyone else, but now she'd have no reason to keep them hidden anymore. She'd have to face them sooner or later.

She'd left early that morning, deciding to drag Rory along with her, so they'd make good time. Thankfully there wasn't too many territories to cross over until they reached Celestial and they ended up at the plains. Rory seemed excited and it put Faite in a good mood for the time being. Regulus had yet to see any of his nieces and nephews, at least from her, and she was happy to finally bring at least one of them along. They deserved to know the rest of their family.

She paused at the scent border and easily noticed the stones that had been placed there. How long had these been here? Her head cocked to the side as she studied them. Had they had a problem with others trespassing or was this just a preventative measure? Either way she had to give Regulus credit - it was an inventive way to mark the borders. Certainly a lot harder to ignore. Her head turned towards her son, already taller than her, as she looked at him as he spoke. "Momma, what are the stones for?"

"If you sniff you'll smell your uncle's scent here too. I'm assuming this is so the borders are marked better."

Rory seemed satisfied with her answer and Faite sniffed around for a moment longer. She could smell Acapella's scent quite clearly - did this mean her cousin had returned to Celestial. She couldn't pick up on Dagger's scent, nor did she smell Creed or a few of his children. Crucible's scent was also stale, but then again he was certainly older. Surely he wouldn't be patrolling the borders anymore - the same with Creed. It took her a minute to realize she was subconsciously procrastinating so she took a seat before the rocks and let her head raise as she let out a howl for her brother. It was best to just rip the bandaid off the wound and get it over with.
