Father was dead, and Cyclone wasn't sure where to find her ailing mother and her sister. She had left the clan to find Thora though. She deserved to know what had happened. Deserved to know that Father had fallen into some sort of rut after mother had left with Thora and that he had been destroyed by just loving their mother too much. It was a mess. She had left their sister with the clan sure she could talk Thora into coming home.

She padded into the tall grasses here, on the move to a more northern area. She was certain Thora and Storm would be where father had once described as their home. A place with fruit bearing trees and vineyards as far as one could see. He always described these lands as beautiful but here she was and she found herself sorely disapointed. Her eyes looked over the land with much scrutiny. It was too much dying grasses to even be considered pretty. Maybe in the spring and summer this land would be pretty. She let out a low howl as she moved along, a call to her mother and Thora, if they could hear her, to see if they may be close enough yet. Father spoke of a pack their mother had wanted to take them too but she wasn't about to check there first.

Somehow they had gotten mixed up, turned around, and heading back within the wrong direction. They went from Wolfpaw lake and traveled to Fern Gulley instead of heading towards Lirim. The borders of Celestial had the young wolverine all screwed up in guiding his elder companion to where she desperately wanted to go. He had figured it out too and when he did they immediately stopped. Eli had wanted to recalculate and continue on, but Storm needed a rest so they had settled into the gulley to rest for a few days before trying once more to get to Lirim. Storm was resting in a soft patch of grass while Eli decided to go hunting nearby. She was relaxed and letting her ears take in the sounds of the territory to drown out her thoughts. She was almost dozing before the howl of her daughter reached her ears, making her sit right up. Was it really Cyclone? Was Chin with her? She was howling for Storm or Thora and Storm did not want to keep her daughter waiting for a reply. So she lifted her head and let out a long howl in reply. She left it go long enough that Cyclone should be able to figure out which direction she needed to go to get to her. She knew it would be a lot easier and quicker for Cyclone to navigate to her verses the other way around. She felt her heart and her stomach flutter as she thought of Chin being with Cyclone. How it would be so nice to have him here with her. "Talk" "You" Think

The howl that returned from hers was easily recognized. Her mother was indeed close enough to be found. The little warrior girl was quick to set her pace and direct herself towards the howl. She was set with a serious face as she neared her mother. She took in her appearance. Close enough to her father's to let her see and understand.

She stopped giving Eli a chance to see her before she came any closer. Last thing she wanted was a bite from the bugger. Not that her mom couldn't cure any ailments that she afflicted from a bite or whatever. As soon as she was sure she wasn't going to set the wolverine on the defensive she moved forward to embrace her mother. "Mom, I missed you." she looked around then. "Wheres Thora?" she had confusion in her voice. Thora was no where to be found and that was strange for their mother to not have even the scent of thora on her.

When they grew near to her and when Eli only gave one warm and non-aggressive growl it told her that there was only Cyclone. Though she was so happy to see Cyclone again, she wished that Chinook would have came with her, little did she knew the goodbye she gave before heading back to Boreas was the last one. Eli moved out of the way as they stopped allowing Cyclone to freely embrace her mother while standing by and keeping guard. Storm nuzzled her daughter's neck, relieved that she was here and she was okay. The healers nose couldn't sense any wounds that needed tending to. "I've missed you too Cyclone," her voice was soft. It didn't take her long to ask about her sister, a question she had already expected. The three girls in the litter had been close up until she left and she knew that Cyclone would want to see Thora, but was it safe for her? Would Cloud protect her like he was Thora. She had ensured to teach all three girls everything they would need in life, including the birds and the bees and the clan helped to teach them about more darker minded individuals. "Thora is with your older brother Cloud, he promised me to continue to teach her hunting skills," she said. "Where's your father?" "Talk" "You" Think
