It's been a Long Time Coming

Cael's ears perked up excitedly when he heard his aunt's welcoming tone, a small smile crossing his face as he trotted up to meet her halfway. Her words were encouraging and he replied, "I'm glad you believed that, Aunt Erani." But, of course, his disappearance did not come about without a price. Her next words made his heart sink, and his two-toned gaze slipping from hers and settling on the ground between his paws. He could drown in the shame he felt for leaving his mate, the one wolf who he should have stood by through thick and thin. "I just hope that she will forgive me for everything I've done... I have been an awful mate and I don't deserve her."

The reason why he left came back to his mind and his eyes shot back up to hers, the shame pushed away for just a moment. "Aunt Erani, I found Claire! She's alive and well, and to top it off she has a family of her own. I invited her to come back with me, but I don't think she was ready yet. Maybe she'll wander back eventually too." A smile found its way back onto his muzzle. Nothing could kill the peace knowing his sister was okay brought him. Not the mental image of her death, not the fear of Imena's reaction when he finally saw her again. The disappearance of his sister had haunted him since the day she had left and finally he had closure.

He took a moment to look over his aunt, happily seeing that she was well. "How is everyone? I felt the earthquake and I had to come make sure all of you were okay. I've admittedly been a coward about returning... but my worry made me finally return. I've missed all of you dearly, I really have."
