Gwen was wandering for the moment, having left the pups with Princess to watch them with Justice there to back up the cat with more muscle. She'd needed the break - feeling burnt out from the constant grind of work and caring for a family alone. Sighing, she stretched her tired body as she took a break from wandering. She'd found herself back towards the range again. Memories assailed her of her childhood here, and she couldn't help but recall that her mother was buried here as well. Her eyes traveled over the ruined farmhouse foundation she'd used to play in as a pup, the barn, even the rusted tractor that she'd once clambered over. She smiled at the bittersweet memories. She'd probably never again see any of the family she'd played with here. She couldn't help but wonder, if she hadn't run away, would things have turned out differently for the Adravendis here? Would her family still be a prominent part of the world, still powerful, instead of reduced to just having their name borrowed to bring another family recognition?

Carefully lowering herself into the shade cast by a large stone, she dropped her head to her paws to stare out over the range and let the memories play.
