serene silver silence

The man had been sitting under the shade of the trees. Quite content. Well he would have been content if there hadn't been a constant sickening worry gnawing at his stomch. Twisting his inside into knots. He missed Aurora, he needed her. She was a part of him. He would have gone to look for her, but she needed her time. And the pups couldn't have both parents gone. He stood and wandered to one of the shallow pools to take a drink. He needed to stay and keep himself, Australis and Zlata healthy. As the cool water slid down his throat he pondered whether or not Aurora would be back. Of course she would. She loved them all, sh just needed some time to come to grips with things. He raised his head and sighed. Things were difficult just now. Very difficult.

When the howl broke through the lands Magnus nearly fell over himself about eight times sprinting through the forest. He was going much to fast to be steady on his three feet. He was nearly there. As he glanced up, he lost focus and... BANG! He went tumbling, head over heels. He grimaced as he hauled himself up off the ground. The second he stood he began to run again, slower, with more care for where he was going.

The second his eyes fell upon her his heart did a little tap dance. Oh Gods. She was back. He almost sagged in relief. Aurora. His love, she was back. He walked over, at quite a fast pace. He glanced to see his two children. "Aurora." The words came out like a hoarse croak. Emotions welling up inside of him. He was so relieved that she was back. But he was also a little angry. He understood why she had left. But with no warning and no goodbye, he was annoyed. He still loved, she was still his soul mate. His eyes were filled with happiness and disappointment.
