Things Could Be Different

ooc: Kinda wanted to see if Justice or Paladin would show up, but if not then pack only, idk. Unplanned surprise visit!

I was always told I can be what I wanna be He'd spent a very restless night at the oasis. Tossing and turning, sleep always just evading him. Nightmares were a common occurrence, but he still woke up feeling frazzled and more tired than the day before. Morning had arrived and he no longer had an excuse to delay the inevitable. No reason to avoid the border anymore and no reason to find out if any of his family still remained or not. Their scents were long since purged from his memories, only faces and voices remained. How much had those changed? They were young when he'd been pulled away. It seemed like ten life times ago. Like he'd been an entirely different wolf then. In a way he supposed he had. So much had changed since then. He definitely was not the carefree and curious child he once was. What was left was a shell of who he used to be. Just a wolf aged and bitter to the world that had left him with so little. Even still, the glimmer of hope that they remained were there. They were not yet old enough to die of old age, but time was not friendly to wolves. Plenty had been taken well before they should have been gone. Creed was a fine example of that. He wanted kinder memories to replace all the broken ones he'd been left with, but he supposed he wouldn't find out until he got it over with. His feet paused at the border as he stared across the open plains that Celestial had called home when he'd lived here. He supposed some things wouldn't change. He rose his white head slowly and let out a low howl wondering who, if anyone, would even show. He wouldn't blame them. He'd been gone far too long.
