This Peace I've Found

Novel couldn’t complain about her life really, despite the guilt she had held on to for years her life had gotten much easier the older she got. Minus the aches and pains of age of course. She had started to get to know her grandchildren from Psalm, she hoped she might meet some of Hymn’s children as well. She felt a comfort here, one that made her sure she had made the correct decision to come back. Finding Ara had made it all worth it. She smiled as Ara let out a soft sigh when she agreed, and Novel wondered if she had thought she would deny her? Novel had done a little teaching in Ahlon, but she wasn’t particularly skilled. Ara would surely do most of the talking.

Ara changed the subject on her, their blue eyes meeting as she confessed how much she had been missed all these years. She had obviously been contemplating their mortality, not that Novel could blame her. Not many wolves made it to the impressive age they had reached. She tried to smile softly, but the subject was heavy and she was reminded of all the years spent apart. ”I missed you too, I don’t know how many times I tried to come back but wound up turning back around.” She admitted regretfully, trying to keep that tinge of guilt suppressed. ”I know the thought of seeing you again has kept me this side of the voice.” She had to admit back, realizing how close to the end she really was.
