The young woman felt a surge of happiness. Getting to see Epiphron again, as well as having a stable home would all be a wonderful blessing. Her life would find a sense of stability again, and she would begin to walk alongside Leo into the territory. He would ask the question that the girl would expect to come, and she would take a breath, beginning her story.
"When I left Fiori everything was alright for a time. But then... I started to feel that things were missing in my life. Things that I couldn't quite grasp, or understand. I felt like I was almost in a state where I didn't even really know myself. I couldn't remember where I was going with my life anymore. My siblings seemed more distant to me then ever... and... I just... I left." Svetlana would frown, her brow furrowed in thought.
"Korrin stayed faithfully at my side as I wandered, trying to heal my mind, my heart. For so long I kept feeling betrayed, my heart fighting with what it knew was right and wrong. There was a lot of things to be sorted out." Svetlana would smile some. "Finally I just... came to accept everything. I accepted the losses I have experienced. I accepted the fact my family was not so close anymore. I accepted that I was the one distancing myself... I accepted that I had my own life to live, and that I had to stop chasing the past." Svetlana would look at Leo.
"I can't even remember now how long I traveled as a loner. It was a simple time. It gave me plenty of time to think, to realize that everything was okay. I got to see so many things, wonderful and horrible... and I was never lonely thanks to Korrin." She would frown again.
"When I came home, however, I came to find that Ebony was no more. Well, truth be told, I knew it was changing hands, becoming Yfir but... after that I know not what happened to the pack, nor my siblings, but I know that they are in the old lands no longer. That was when I truly realized it was time to stop chasing the past... and start chasing the future." Svetlana would flick her tail slowly back and forth.
"...and I thought of you. Of your mother and the kindness Fiori showed me when I was here last. So here I am."
