Gabriel had been gone for far too long. His journeys had taken him far away, in fact clear to Ludicael. He had made an ally, someone he considered a true friend, a true companion. But his thoughts were always wandering back home. He had vanished without a word, several weeks of absolute perfect behavior and then... he had vanished, He hadn't told a single soul where he was going and he had been gone for near half a season, perhaps a bit longer. He wasn't sure if they would even allow him to come home. The borders of Valhalla, proved to be difficult for him to cross but eventually, he sucked in a large breath and moved forward. The sun was sweltering against his ebony pelt, two toned oculars gazed around the seemingly abandoned forest. He allowed his limbs to carry him without pause in a route that was all too familiar. Cutting through Valhalla's lands, his paws led him to the den of his parents, his stomach sunk to the floor when he realized it was empty, there would be no reunion now, perhaps he had been wrong in finally coming home, perhaps this was fate telling him he should have stayed away. Mismatched oculars glanced around the empty terrain, where was everyone? Had they truly all up and left? He didn't think so, his mother loved this home, surely she would not have abandoned it? Fear clenched within his gut, what if something had happened to them? What if they were wounded or worse, dead? The not quite adult glanced plaintively about, debating what he should do, when a snap, a rustle in the forest had his ears careening forward. Was it someone from his family? |
