we get a little restless

Spring was almost here! Dómari was fussing about on a beautiful winter morning that was feeling warmer than usual. Bright, clear, sunny, a perfect day for some spring cleaning. Oh yes, he had spring fever bad. Herbs would be growing bright and green soon and Dómari was eager to learn more of that trade as well as fighting. Celestial promised to be an excellent source of knowledge and he couldn't wait to get started.

Satisfied, Dómari stepped back to examine his handy work. His den was freshly cleaned out. He'd widened it a bit to include an area for herb storage. He was just about to go back in an give things a once over when he heard his brother call at the border. Dómari's heart started to hammer in his chest. His brother was here visiting him? At first he was excited, he couldn't wait to tell Alarik all about Celestial but then he couldn't help but feel dread to. Would Alarik think he betrayed the family? What was he supposed to do? They'd been wandering forever and found no sign of this "Ebony" and he couldn't wait forever to start learning. He was an adult now and he didn't want to start sharpening his skills when he turned 5!

Dómari set his brow in determination. He wasn't going to wait forever for his family to get their act together. He had as much a right as anyone to pursue his life, even if it meant the painful decision to separate from his family.

Dómari wasn't to far away, his den sat just on the border of the moor and the plains and when he saw his brother he smiled, tail waving lightly. "Hey Alarik! Looks like you found me." He hesitated, unsure what to say. "Welcome to Celestial, I guess… it's pretty obvious I joined a pack, huh?"
