Ohana means family

Shaye had always wanted to protect her sister. Not that she needed someone defending her. The smaller wolf was all compressed determination, ready to be unleashed upon the world. Still, she was Vail's older sister, and that made the white wolf her responsibility. She would have followed Vail to the ends of the earth, she loved her brave, exasperated and prickly sister with every bit of heart she possessed. Taking off into the mountains was a call she would make time and time again, to save the last visage of her sister sight, and to save her life.

Still, she felt a tingle of anxiety down to the very base of her paws as they took the journey home - a much slower journey then the one they have taken to the mountain so many years ago. What would home look like now? Would there still be a home for the two wayward daughters? "Do you think...?" She cut herself off before the thought could bloom any further. She doubted it mattered, her sister was as keen as a soothsayer at seeing what went unsaid. Must be the blindness, or natural initiation. Whatever made her so, Shaye couldn't shelf the anxiety her sister would likely hear, and the unspoken words. Did their parents still live?

The sickness that had plagued Vail’s eyes had made for a terrible time for both the girls. Hearing that there might be someone, anyone, who had encountered it before and could heal it, had been a blessing. She would have taken any risk for her sister, and the choice to make this had been an easy one, even if her gut had been riddled with fear. Both for the journey, and for what they left behind.

A friend, Lillianna, who had been by her side for as long as she could remember. She had found Lillianna’s feather, and one for Arcus, the two wolves that had meant the most to her outside of family. No, the two wolves she had chosen as family, on top of the family that fate had chosen for her. She had tried, tried so hard not to think about Acrus and Lillianna in the years she had been gone, but it all came flooding back to her now. Motif, Shai, Bass, Rhythm, Lillianna and Acrus. Those were the wolves in her heart today.

They had made their way to the island where Motif and Shai had moved to when their father had begun to get sick, the fresh air off the ocean had seemed to do him well. They found a cave that had some importance to Vail, and she had heard part of the reunion when Solor found his way to her sister's arms. Knowing Vail was safe for the moment, Shaye left marking outside the cave that would let her sisters know where she went.

Free from sisterly obligations for the moment, and heart in her throat, Shaye made the long journey to Abaven, not know what she would find there. She sat at the borders to the pack she had been born to, raised in. tTe pack her uncle had owned, and her mother had thrived in. She sat on the rogue side of the line, the side of outsiders and strangers. She raised her head, tears in her eyes, as she called out to the pack that had once been her own.
