hear me calling

While wandering through the barrenness of the desert without a sound other than his pawsteps and his panting to fill the silence, Kane would have never guessed that there was a fertile lake waiting for him just past the horizon... if he hadn't been raised there and known from experience. The dunes had been an incredible feat for the massive Adravendi wolf to accomplish, but they were finally flattening as he drew closer to the familiar shapes of the mountains that housed the caverns.

By the time the colossus reached past the mountains, he could see the willows of home. It was an interesting feeling to be once again at Lirim's door, he took a moment to rest by the lake without announcing himself for now simply to think through what it was he planned on saying now that he was home. He knew nothing about its current leadership or state, but the Valley and the Willows did not disappoint even in Autumn. He admired the beautiful land he had once called home and listened to the gentle rustle of the dry autumn leaves that felt soothing in comparison to the silence of the desert. The moon was already visible in the darkening sky, accompanied of course by a few of it's stars. All clouds were clear if the sky tonight, and it was easy for a loner like himself to get lost in the awe of things.

Singular ruby finally tore itself away from the sky and surveyed the rest of the area around him. He could not see anyone currently, but he knew that wolves were here. His massive, ghoulish head lifted back as the beast let a low-ringing howl resonate from the depths of his barrel chest. When it was over, he rested his weight on his haunches near the shore of the lake as he assumed a respectful position that would let them know he did not come to fight.

He doubted he would even be recognized now with a missing eye and quite a few scars to add to his collection, but then again he never did do good at keeping up with his family when he was in his youth now did he? He wouldn't blame them if they did not recognize him, but he was excited to see what had become of them all the same.
