You are the one I waited for, I knew it all along

It had been a long time since he had ventured out to Auster. Though perhaps this season probably wasn't the best time to do it, but he had been on the trail of a prey animal that was too hard to ignore. The old male stalked the trail, keeping low to make sure it didn't see hide nor hair of him. Bi-colored gaze searched the foliage, eventually finding the stag he'd been tracking. It stood there in the open meadow, very much alert as it stood against the backdrop of the night sky. The rain that had been falling earlier that day had dulled to a drizzle, the cloak he wore had done well to keep him mostly dry, but man did his bones ache now. He hunkered low to the ground, stopping for bit to rest. He wouldn't be able to move as long as the stag remained on alert, so he opted to remain where he was which was fine by him. He got most of his best kills by playing the waiting game, especially since he often hunted alone.

He figured since he'd likely be waiting a while, he'd take a short nap. If the Stag decided to move, his companions would wake him up and let him know. A little nap sounded good anyway, definitely something he could use. As he closed his eyes, his mind began to drift. His dreams were often quiet. But occasionally, he saw the faces of his past flicker in his head. His mother. His brother. His sisters. Anyone that had ever meant something to him. He remembered Paradise. The woman that loved his brother...but her love had not been enough for him. He had abandoned her. Left her with their pups. Though Cloud had always been in the background helping to raise the wayward pups. How long had it been since he had seen any of them? Was she still even alive? Or had she succumbed to death a long time ago? He was always wondering...and never thought he'd get an answer.
