Sirius took no time at all to race off north to find his wife, leaving Azure standing alone in the tall grass. His first instinct was to head home to his den for a well deserved rest, though the idea lost it's pleasantness as he realized what was waiting for him deeper into the territory. Brothers and sisters young and old, pack members with questions. Azure couldn't answer any of them - for all he knew, his mother had been killed long before he reached the warlord for help. Perhaps Sirius himself wouldn't survive it to return to them. He had too many of his own questions to worry about stumbling upon even one excited and questioning mouth... especially if their first thought was to prod Azure's flesh to prove he was not ethereal, as Sirius had.

Instead he turned and fled the plains the way he'd come, sure that the rainstorm brewing overhead would erase what was left of his lingering scent. He traveled far enough around the Armada, Ashen, and Habari to skirt any patrols, moving south until he'd reached obsidian shores. From upon the dark sand he could watch the islands in the distance, imagining the wolves within as they came and went, fulfilling their duties and living their life. Why shouldn't they continue on with their lives? He and his mother were presumed dead. The thought drew his brows to knit together, and he busied himself by twirling a smooth black stone beneath one claw.
