If there is such a thing as miracles

Etain glanced over her shoulder at her parents that were walking just behind her. She had her doubts that this expedition away from the pack would actually lead them to anything worth the risk of doing it, but she wouldn't dare take this away from them. Neither of them were in good health any more and if all they wanted was to find their missing sons... well then she would help them make that happen. All of this stress from her brothers being missing and their combined illnesses and her worry over her own disability impacting her ability to help the pack had made her a bit pessimistic oner the whole thing. She could have just stayed home, but she would have never forgiven herself if her parents got hurt or lost on his mission of theirs.

Just as thoughts of doubt were swirling in her head her father pointed out the presence of Viho's scent and her mother started calling for him. In pure disbelief, Etain tried to smell for his scent and she did catch it even though it seemed faint over the smells of the damp earth and the birds. Of course her parents had better sense of smell than she did, but she couldn't' deny that she smelled it too. She stood there for a moment unsure of what to do, but finally she lifted her muzzle and howled for him so that he could hear her over the sounds of the bird song around them.
