Sun is Setting in the West

Ookami

Shifting sleepily within her den, Ookami wearily raised her head when the echo of a howl penetrated her dreams. She was alone. Thane nowhere to be found, and he had remained that way since the war. She had no idea where he was, and it scared her. He was the only one she really remembered, sort of...her kids also a vague fuzzy memory within the depths of her mind but she hoped that she would remember them soon. If Thane said they were a family, then it must be true. But she had yet to speak to them or spend time with them since she had returned. She would have to try to change that, but could she really do it without Thane?

Pulling herself stiffly to her paws, she stretched each leg before clearing the sleep from her eyes and shaking out her pelt. Quietly she went out into the cold dawn, the sun streaming weakly upon the Valhallan pack. She saw gathered wolves, some of them memorable whilst others were not. An effect of the memory loss she had suffered. Quietly she slipped towards the group, her once bedraggled coat now neatly kept as she had done before the accident. She no longer looked like the bedraggled and dirty pathetic creature like Thane had found, but she was back to her pristine and beautiful shiny coated and vibrant looking self.

She nodded to who she assumed was the alpha, the woman sitting at the head of the group with many others gathered around her. Since she had come back, Ookami had remained in solitude or going on private walks with Thane. The pair working together to help her remember the memory she had lost. She sat neatly near a large black body; a horse she vaguely remembered. There she waited for what was to come.
