Brightly Wound

Ookami

Alone in her den at the outskirts of their home. Ookami had thought about simply giving up, perhaps let the ocean take her away during the crossing. Her memory had yet to fully return, and what she did remember disappeared. Thane had vanished. Whether it was to heal on his own from the injuries of the war, or some other unsaid thing...she wished she had told her. Or at least one of their children he said they had together. She couldn't yet quite remember who they were, but when she slept she would dream. Figures resembling her or Thane would appear, vivid as if they were real. Their coats black and white, calling her mother and laubing as they played. Would she recognize them if she saw them? She hoped so...she hated waking up for fear of forever losing her children...

Upon hearing the call by some miracle through her depression, she thought about not going. But for some reason, she was pulled onto her feet, like an unseen force wanted her to get up and go. And yet, the presence felt comforting...familiar. Was it Thane? She didn't know. But she would go nonetheless. Swiftly she made her way towards the meeting, the grounds she had not yet bothered to explore making it a little difficult, but eventually she made it. Many scents mingled in the air, many of whom she did not know...then again, due to her memory loss she couldn't remember anyone except for her Alpha. And then, there was one other form...vaguely familiar but could not place a name on him.

It wasn't until she quietly slunk forward towards him, that she would slowly begin to feel they had some kind of connection. Uncertainty was reflected in her eyes as she neared him, but the presence from before wrapped itself around her. Comforting her. She would come to a stop on the boys right side, gazing at him with green eyes of recognition. "Ravine..." She would whisper his name, her tail wagging and eyes stinging. She wasn't sure how she remembered his name, and she hoped that with some time...she hoped more of her memory would return.
