Momma Said Knock You Out

Ashmedai hadn't quiiiite found his way back to Abaven. After the one pup from there failed to stick around his new pack- and his family- Ashmedai wasn't really feeling too chummy with other wolves. In an unusual slump of feelings, Ash made his way back to the old Imperium lands. He thought that maybe one day he could rule over these lands. Of course, his brother had been better suited for it, but either way it never came to pass.

Ashmedai had to wonder what his siblings were up to now. Did they all have packs of their own or had they found themselves enough trouble to end their days in this realm?

One wolf Ashmedai hadn't worried about in a while was his father. Ash had figured he was long gone at this point. Every once in a while Ashmedai would let himself feel bad about it, but it wasn't often. As Ash toured the lands, he swore he could almost smell his father.

No wait, that was definitely real.

Ashmedai hurried up as quietly as he could. Sure enough, it was Valentine.

"So the old fart's still kickin' huh," Ashmedai announced with a large, lopsided smile on his face. It had been literal ages! Ashmedai couldn't even imagine how much his father may or may not have changed during that time. He just hoped he wasn't still plague-crazy.
