I Just Wanna Fly

It had been a long and arduous trip but finally he was home. He was near Valhalla, near the place he grew up. Near his family. He wondered how much had changed since he left. How much was new and different. He wondered how Erani's pups were doing and if Chrysanthe had pups of her own, if she had found a mate even. As he wondered through the strip he thought of everything he had left behind, he wondered if anyone had missed him or if they hadn't even noticed he left. What would they say? What would they do? What would they do when they saw him again? A soft whine escaped him as he walked. What if they hated him?
He stopped by a stream to drink and rest. His eyes closing behind racing thoughts with a sigh. How long had he walked now? It was impossible to say at this point. It had been so long since he left the training grounds he had been practicing in. He had been helping other wolves and had been asked to stay, but the call for home was too great. The need to see his family again overpowering the friends he had made in the distant land he had traveled to. He thought of his father most of all. The huge wolf that had taken him and his brother in as his own children and showed them nothing but kindness and joy. The thought of his father was followed by that of his brother. Neo. Would he be there as well? Would Neo see what love and devotion could do to a wolf rather than hate and loathing? Would he be an example? Or would Neo greet him with the hate he always did? He shook his head, silently hoping against hope that he wouldn't have to deal with his brother.Not yet anyway. No, his family would greet him happily, and Cairo would praise him for leaving to become a better healer. Yes. It would be perfect.

Surreal |
Surreal was achy, in body and in heart. As she patrolled the edges of Valhalla?s territory, her upper back flared with fiery pain, and her muzzle ached, though this had scabbed over, even though there would be scars when the claw slashes across her muzzle fully healed. Her mother had been tending her injuries intently, as with all the other warriors who had been in the fighting. All she could think was why. Why had they been attacked like this? Why did this have to have happened at all? Her Uncle was gone, a prisoner in the enemy?s territory by now. Along with the Seracians that had helped them. Pontifex had vanished after the fighting. Probably back to Seracia. However, Azalea had been won back, and a few prisoners of their own had been won. An Albino, and a strangely marked female to note a couple. Would they ever get her Uncle Cormalin back? He was their Beta, after all. And she was next in line, but she needed more training. So much more. Still, if asked, she would step into her Uncle?s place in the event that he was never recovered. Her mind wandered for a moment to Falk. Had he found his brother? Her adopted brother Taurig? She?d caught sight of Taurig for a fleeting moment, but had been too busy keeping herself alive to pay any more attention other than that. She uttered a soft sigh and returned her attention to her patrol, mismatched gold and blue gaze sweeping the border, before a scent wafted over her nose and she froze. She had never really met Preston, and certainly not Neo, but she?d heard of them. So she didn?t recognize the stranger?s smell. So she approached with hackles raised, legs stiff, sending up a quick howl for Chrysanthe as she came into view of the stranger. Mismatched gaze pinned the male, taking in his appearance. ?State your name and business, if you please, stranger? Her Russian and Scots mixed accent held a hint of the strength her voice as a beta would hold was in her words, a steel edge that spoke volumes. She was giving the stranger a chance to show he wasn?t a threat to the family and pack she loved, and if he failed, he was in for a world of hurt. |
Surreal's family is allowed to crash any thread she is in, regardless of it being private or not.

He was shaken from his thoughts by a voice. A rather harsh one to boot. He didn't recognize the wolf before him. How could he? When he first saw Surreal she had just slipped from her mother's womb and taken her first breath, right before he disappeared. He did however recognize the smell of Valhalla, and that was enough to send his heart racing. He bolted to his feet, tail wagging feverishly as he trotted toward the female. "Preston Adravendi at your service. Pres for short. Call me Pres all you like." He prattled on excitedly, before sniffing her quizzically. "Who are you?" He asked as he sat. She carried with her the scent of his surrogate mother Erani, but he assumed she was another medic she had taken under her wing. The wolf looked to be in a poor state for a medic though, maybe that was why Erani's scent lingered on her. Regardless she was Valhalla and that meant the world to him. He remembered the howl he'd heard earlier and could only hope that meant his brother would be coming soon...If he was still Alpha...No. Of course he was, who could ever take his place? "I'm here to see my family again, rejoin my pack, and become a dedicated medic." He grinned, his tail still wagging.
