Daddy's Little Helper

How long had it been since the brute had stepped foot out of Valhalla? Too long. That was simply the answer, too long, way too long. Thane had finally grown tired of staying in the borders as his leg healed. Looking down at it now it seemed fine and only slightly bothered him. Now he was able to bend the leg slightly and not walk as pathetically. The man had made sure Ryker stayed home as he looked for his beloved and their children. Of course one was smart enough not to stray too far away, and that one was at home. Worry radiated off of the male's pelt like heat. All this time he had been stuck home and hadn't been able to do anything. Heck, even Ryker had gone out looking for his siblings and mother. Now it was Autumn and all three of the Tsarev children are yearlings. One was at home while the other two were the stars know where? All this time Thane thought he had been giving them room. They disobeyed his trust, period!

White lined ears perked up as aqua blue eyes scanned the valley. Thane had even gone as far as Emerald Valley. Stopping by a boulder to rest his leg and sit the man took a few deep breaths. How was he supposed to find-wait, he knew that smell, blood. the brute shot up and was on all fours so fast that it made his leg ache. He ignored it as he followed the scent and had another scent mixed with it meet his nose, Resnera!

Aqua blue eyes grew wide as the wolf tried to run with his mending broken limb.

"Resnera!?!?" he screamed, hoping she would answer.

Thane suddenly turned around a bush as his eyes landed on his daughter. A sigh of relief left him as he saw the blood came from the dead hares she was carrying in her jaw. His heart pounded still as if it were to burst out of his chest. Thane had always been calm all throughout his life, never raising his voice except once. For the second time his aqua blue gaze hardened as he looked down at his daughter with a scolding stare.

"Resnera Roe Tsarev!" he said, saying her full name as well so she would know she would be in trouble.

"Where have you been?!?! You know I wouldn't have been able to find you! Your mother is still missing and so is your brother! Everyone was gone except Ryker. Where did you go? What where you thinking?!?! You could have been killed! You could have gotten hurt! You could have been kidnapped! You could have been raped, murdered, jumped....you scared me, and your brother too! He's been miserable and so have I! Don't you ever do that again! do you hear me?!?! Before you leave the boundaries you should tell someone." he said in a gruff stern voice.

"Что бы ваша мама?!?!" he said with a lash of his tail

"Я очень разочарован в тебе...."

With a sigh Thane calmed down as his gaze softened.

Sitting down on his haunches the brute looked back at his daughter to speak once more.

"You worried me and your brother, but we worry because we love you. If something happened to you what do you think we would do hm? Would I know where you were? Would I know where to go if you happened to get hurt and not be able to move? I probably sound like I'm tightening a leash around you now but I'm not...you just scared me.I thought I lost you and your brother...he's still out there too somewhere, so is your mother." he said as his voice grew softer and softer with each word.

Eventually Thane ended up sitting on his haunches blankly staring into space. Soon enough Cyril came into the scene and glided down to land on his master's shoulder.

"Resnera!" he said as he landed, for he was delighted to see her.

The golden eagle looked at his Master and saw the distant look on his face.

"Master Thane, no sign of the others. Shall I continue looking? Or should I fly back to see how Ryker is doing."

"продолжать" he said in almost a whisper.

With a nod the eagle spread his wings and gave his niece a nod before flying away once more.

Looking back up at Resnera Thane stared at her as he waited for her to answer or reply. He was disappointed yet happy she was safe and that he had found her....he didn't know what to say next so he would wait for her to speak.
