What Was Once Lost

"Listen to me talk," 'but read my thoughts.'

Lost?

Yes. She had been lost.

But that was time ago. Svetlana had gone through many trials in her young life. Trials of loss. Trials of jealousy. Pain and torment. Both of mind and body, she had been through a lot. But she was not alone. No, she was never alone. Faithfully at her side stood a one-earred fox. The creature, known as Korrin, had faithfully been at her side for years. Since one was a pup and the other a kit of their kind. They had always had each other... and that was yet to change.

When she had visited the borders where Ebony had stood, seeing the scents stale, Svetlana knew that it was no more. She had taken not of the loss of the presence of her siblings and while she grieved, she would not allow that grief to overcome her. Time passed and she was ready to press on to her new life. To a new existence. She would head East, to Fiori, where her last sanctuary and friend had been.

Her mind was on Leo, and the leader Epiphron. If Fiori still stood that was the place where her alliance, her heart, belonged. She wound find it so... but it was not Pip's scent that marked the borders. A pleasant surprise awaited her nose as she caught a scent however. Leo! She would throw back her head, howling for the young man.

Would he be surprised when he saw her in a healthier state?
