we get a little restless

Alairk spoke of his skills and interests and Regulus spoke of much of what he had when Dómari joined, explaining the pack and how ranks worked. When Regulus heard Dómari's question about Ebony the boy was beyond ecstatic. Regulus knew Raisa! They had never had the chance to meet their grandmother but he'd heard so many stories and he wondered if she was still alive, sitting in her kingdom all this time, just waiting for them. Part of him knew it was a naive hope. Part of him was trying to temper his expectations but he'd gotten caught up again in the dream that had played over and over again in his head since he was a pup. That moment they would finally be reunited with the rest of their family.

Alarik spoke quietly to him, telling him that it was time to move on but Dómari didn't want to hear that. If there was a chance that Ebony had been right under their noses the whole time they had to pursue that. They'd searched for so long. Then Regulus answered his question and he came crashing down. Ebony fell long ago. Dómari took a deep breath as his greatest fears were confirmed. So they had been wandering around this continent chasing ghosts after all. It reaffirmed his decision to join Celestial at the same time it broke his heart. "And Raisa?" He dreaded the answer to that question even more but he had to ask it.
