The Divine Calling [LUDI CLAIM]
12-15-2013, 02:32 AM
The call had not gone unheard. Howl lifted his tanned head to the air, curious and confused when he heard Song's familiar cry. Slowly, he'd lift himself from his position next to Legend. The pair having taken refuge at the outskirts of Ludicael's land. Never did they commit their loyalty to the former alpha, as there was something about her they simply did not trust. It had become apparent as of late, that Howl had made the right call. Jupiter had pledged an allegiance with Glaciem previously, and Howl would never support that. As he was sure neither would most of the pack that hardly knew about it. Living so close, he always heard news from his family members, as most of them did live with in Ludicael. Save for he and Legend, as well as a few others he was sure. Leaning down, he would nudge his younger brother awake, motioning with his head to follow. Sleepily, his brother would blink open his eyes and yawn, slowly getting up to shake himself awake before drowsily trailing after Howl. It did not take the pair long to find the source of the commotion, the source of the call that had brought them to the center of the territory. Something was different, and the way his sibling and her mate were he guessed why. He had shown to catch Symphony's words, the brother pair waiting in the shadows of the trees as they listened and watched. So, Symphony wanted to leave...and Song it seemed, was not quite alright with it. The look on her face showed she was quite upset, even on the verge of a possible break down. It was then that he would step out of the shadows after Song said her part. A stern gaze flashing towards the rude girl who had spoken so ill towards her sister. Song would certainly be a much better alpha then the previous one had been, and although Song had once abandoned them, he knew that she would not do it again. He moved towards her, stopping just inches in front of her, staring into the eyes of the one he knew would do well in this place. He could see himself reflected, her bi-colored orbs shimmering from the tears that spilled. Gently, he'd lean forward to wipe the tears away. Something he would not have done not too long ago. "What have I told you about crying?" he told her with gentle words. Offering a small smile, another gesture he would not have been able to give her some time ago. Turning to look at Symphony, he nodded to her as if in approval and understanding. "Symphony, sister. Follow what your heart tells you to do. No matter where you go, or who you choose to be with. Just know, that we will always be family and we will always be here for you. Don't worry about our brother Anthem, I think I've learned enough from you to take care of him, and I will occasionally take him to go see you. We are never truly apart, I just want you to know that." He would then move towards her, nuzzling her with affection and giving an affectionate lick to her muzzle. "Good luck, sister. If you ever need us, just call. We'll be there." Turning, he returned to Song, hazel eyes looking into her own. He'd dip his head to her in a respectful manner. He supposed it was time to get along, after all, they were family. And during his time alone as a rogue, with Legend of course, he had a lot of time to think. In the end, he simply could not keep doing what he had been doing. "Song, I apologize for the way I have treated and judged you in the past. If you'll allow me, I would like to start over...to get to know you again, and be by your side as your brother and adviser. I've learned much since you disappeared, and I think it's time...I wish to join you in your endeavor, sister. And...I want to say that, I forgive you...what happened in the past, stays there. I understand now. Do...do you forgive me?" Without waiting for a response, Howl moved forward to close the gap. His head brushing against her neck and moving upwards to pull himself closer in a hug. His eyes closed tightly, holding back the tears that threatened to spill. At last, he had come to forgive and forget. To start over with her, to be a family again.
