It was alone that Novella had originally slipped away from the shrine, venturing to the borders of the Springs to observe any news from Sawtooth and of course determine the weather there. It certainly seemed better now and they had made it through the worst of the storm with no trouble and so perhaps it was time to take the trip back home as well. She had returned to her pack and made such an announcement and the next morning their journey back home had begun.
Now she stood home once more. The water from the falls still pooled out over the banks of the river, the healers den still flooded with no traces at all of the herb stores that Symphony and Sorrel had worked so hard to gather. Even where there had been no flood at all the lands were sodden, soft mud that made it impossible for anyone to keep clean even with the rain that still insisted upon falling although certainly far lighter showers than before. How on earth the skies had any water left to rain was a mystery and yet the steady downpour continued.
Overall the place was a mess, most of the pack's scent had been washed away by the heavy rains but they would properly claim their lands once more, they were here. "Home."
