Where Do I Belong Forever?

Sterling hadn't been back to Auster since her injury, and her fateful meeting with Paladin, but worry and desire to see her family had drawn her back. Although she still was not a hundred percent at her best, she had healed enough to travel so long as she was careful. She had certainly learned a painful lesson in being observant, thus she watched her every step, even if she was in thought. Which she was, as always. She had felt immensely torn leaving the borders of Celestial, but she couldn’t stay still when she hadn’t seen her family in so long. She hadn't told her family where she’d gone, nor checked in with them to see if everything was alright.

So it was how she found herself in the God’s Garden, near the borders of Talis lands, but not quite. By chance, was it possible that she’d come across a familiar face while she was here? She hoped so, still unsure if she should go directly to Talis’ borders. She didn’t wasn’t ready to face a lecture for disappearing, and she wasn’t prepared to see anyone disappointed in her. So, she busied herself looking for familiar herbs that Paladin had shown her, all the while hoping she’d come across one of her family members. If she didn’t, then she’d really have to go to the pack’s borders.
