One Lost, is now Found.

He waited, waited for a sign, a voice, a call. The companion on his shoulder shifted it's weight nonchalantly. Thane stood still for a moment before sitting down on his haunches.A sigh left his maw, hopefully someone would have heard him. It wasn't long though before his white lined ears perked up as a long call had reached his ears. He smiled, for he knew that it was her,his beloved had heard him. Too long, it had been too long before he had heard her lovely call. Before he had time to even think of walking towards them, three scents soon hit his nose. Aqua blue eyes soon landed on Ookami, with two of their children following close by her.

Standing up as soon as they had appeared before him, he watched his mate just stand there, almost as if in shock. The wolf himself was in shock too, time had taken its toll on him and his wife, only a bit though. She still looked as beautiful as ever, even managed to make his heart flip flop. For an aging man he was glad she just didn't give him a plain out heart attack. Still smiling, he was in awe at how much Ryker and Resnera had grown. His son looked much like himself, as he did too take after Ookami. Focusing on his not so little princess now, Thane was proud at how beautiful she was, much like her mother he saw.

After contemplating what he saw before him, the brute listened as Ookami mentioned a game of cat and mouse. Thane smirked, she was always testing him. He remembered though, it was what she had said on the day their three children were conceived.

"Again? I had already won the last time my love. Yet in the end, we both had won, just look at our wonderful children, my how much you two have grown..."

"Listen..I know i have a lot of explaining to do, but all I can say now is how horrible of a husband and father I must seem to disappear on you all like I did. It was not on purpose though; Ookami, you know about my condition. The skirmish had triggered my PTSD, it was like I wasn't even here anymore, I ran all over again, thinking I was back where I had started. I was scared after I came to my senses. I didn't want to come home and have anything happen or set me off that would make me physically hurt the ones I love. In addition to that, I was lost. I have missed you all so very much. For once my eyes do not deceive me...but...where is Ravine? Where is my son?"

Thane looked at them with a curious face, you could see the concern as well. why wouldn't all three of his children be with their mother here? Perhaps he had something to attend to? Oh how the male wished he could just step forward and embrace his family again. He wanted to so badly...but he did not want to somehow frighten or disturb them. Thane would wait until they were comfortable enough to come to him.

No words had came from Cyril; the golden eagle sat quietly, watching the scene unfold before his golden eyes.
