Legendary and Epic

As Ritsuka waited, having heard the confirmation call from his dear sister, he thought back to their puphood. He and Blizzard had been the odd two out of the litter. Their siblings had bore gray, white, silver, and black in their coats. In fact their mother had only had a touch of brown coloration within her own fur, and it was lighter than his sister's coat color. They were the odd children out, and he remembered as a child sometimes they would tease him and say he was adopted. No... he knew better than to believe that. He might look different from the rest of his family, as did Blizzard, but there was no denying that the two were siblings. One just had to look into their eyes to see it... the same kind of eyes.

Blizzard would appear and that feeling he always felt around her, both love and a friendly sibling rivalry would rise. Until the darker subjects were brushed upon. But for now Ritsuka would press into her sister, though gently. His body still ached from the chaos of the earthquake... and he still wasn't hearing quite right in his right ear. But other than Ritsuka had managed to bring himself to carry his routines, for the most part, a normally as possible. He wasn't going to let even that keep him down for long.

"Forever... it has been quite a long time." Ritsuka would speak with a soft, gentle tone. The smile on his face would brighten as he spoke again. "I have been alright. Tortuga has really become a home for me, filling that part of me that I felt was missing. Even more so now that you're with us." Ritsuka looked out across the lake for a moment. "The earth getting so angry was a bit of a setback, but I've managed to push through most of that as well. I can keep learning... keep getting stronger. It is all going on the right path." He would frown then, looking back to Blizzard.

"Though I am admittedly troubled that you followed me... considering you did not originally wish to leave at that time. Something... something happened... didn't it?"
