Family Means Nobody Gets Left Behind

*Surreal* · 01-14-2014, 03:16 AM

Surreal padded beside her cousin Caerul, slightly ahead, leading the way, though she didn?t really need to. They all knew where her mother?s den was. Surreal was worried about her mother. She was getting older, and the war had taken a toll. Erani had been stressed, and eventually, had begun coughing, before a seemingly harmless cold became something worse. Thus far, while Surreal and Alsander had been caring for Erani, Surreal using what knowledge of herbal remedies she had learned from her mother, and Alsander bringing in kills, neither of them had contracted the illness.

Finally, her mother had come out of her fever, and been able to eat a whole rabbit, without vomiting it back up eight seconds later. Once Surreal had been sure that her mother wouldn?t revert suddenly, she had taken off for the new Valhallan territory, leaving Alsander under orders to guard her still weak mother. She?d arrived in time to attend a meeting, and told Chrysanthe about her mother. Chrysanthe had given her the order to take four wolves back to the old territory to escort her mother home. Surreal had chosen Caerul, Cael and Imena, and Odette. Her niece through adoption.

So, now they were home, or at the border of what used to be home. Familiar landmarks passed by. A fallen log that she had struggled over as a pup, the day she had met Cairo outside of a meeting. Now she bounded lightly over it, hardly more than a slight lift of her legs. She stopped outside her mother?s den, giving a short bark. ?Alsander? Mother?? She sniffed deeply, noting the illness that still pervaded the air, but weaker now. Finally, movement from the shadows, of the ghostly mist grey form of Alsander, as he stepped forward to greet her.
