I'll Always Find My Way Back To You

And just like that the time apart was done, his massive arms wrapped around her shoulders and he held her tightly. Poem held him back, squeezing him as he did her, as if anything less would result in him disappearing again. He cried her name, great heaving sobs as he silently showed her just how much he had been through without her. ”You are already forgiven.” She told him as he pulled back to catch her bright eyes in his ruby gaze. He cupped her cheek with one massive paw and explained himself to her, why he was gone, what had happened to take him away from her. Why he could not warn her or say goodbye.

She was almost glad of it, unknowing if her heart could have taken a goodbye, it was almost like ignoring the massive hole in her life was healthier than bidding him farewell and counting the days to his return. Poem pressed herself into his neck as he promised that the threat was never going to endanger them again. She sighed heavily as he stroked her back and apologized again. Poem always knew he didn’t want to leave her, that his absence was temporary. Her heart knew it, and here he was, returned to her.

Poem cried into his fur, so relieved at having him again, like she could breathe once more. ”No, you’re here. That is what matters now. I have you again.” The scars on his face were the proof he’d sacrificed more than just his happy home and family to protect them. ”You’re home.” The relief in her voice was palpable as she felt the tension leave her body and she melted against Sparhawk’s chest.
