It had been an absolutely amazing day. Not only had she seen an amazing island covered in emerald green sand, but she had met this lovely young brute. Now she was following Talon to go met his mother. She couldn't wait to talk to the fea that had raised such a sweet wolf and maybe even get some advice from the woman for when Euph eventually had her own family. She had always wanted to have her own pups one day, she just hoped they had the temperament that this pup had.
With a sniff she could tell that they were crossing into pack territory. She was nervous, wondering if maybe they should have called for someone to meet them at the border since she was a stranger to their lands, but Talon didn't hesitate so the brown-marked fea didn't either. She brushed it off, figuring that maybe this pack had some sort of rule that if strangers were with a pack member it was okay.
Euph smiled and followed him up to what she assumed was his families den. She waited expectantly, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks so she did as well. She waited for several moments before speaking, "What's wrong? Have they gone hunting or something?" His whispered words made the smile slowly melt off her face. She looked down at his little, wilting form with confusion before looking around the den and smelling of the air, noticing that even the freshest scent had long since gone stale. Her heart sank into her stomach and her ears folded back against her skull. Her emerald gaze drifted back to Talon, wondering if he was right, if they were really gone. Where could they have gone? Surely they wouldn't have just left the little three-legged boy like this. His form trembled and her heart broke for him, crushing sadness for the pup resting on her shoulders. She sank to the ground beside him, sitting on her haunches as she lifted one banded forelimb to gently pull him to her side, cradling him there. He was just a little scrap of a thing, all alone in the world. Euphrosune kept thinking over and over, what could have happened to his family? Surely something must have happened, they wouldn't just leave like this. "I'm so sorry..." was all she could think of to whisper as she held him to her side.
