She had wandered the forest for quite some time dealing with her inner demons. Everyday was the same the sun came up, it's golden rays, warming everything it touched except the cold stone that resided in her chest. Soul felt a peacefulness wash through her slim frame each time the day faded into night and the moon rose revealing things better off left in the inky darkness. Alone the silver femme had stalked the borders vigilantly ranging far and wide her thoughts a companion nagging at the edge of her sanity constantly no matter how hard she tried to brush them aside. Periodically her nostrils would catch the scent of the others who called these woods home the wind her own personal bane. Each time a pang of loneliness coursed through her veins darkening her already bleak mood. Mating season had come and gone almost in the blink of an eye and for that she was thankful. As soul carries on with her self appointed task memories bombard her mind. The death of her parents, the attack from her brother that had almost ended her life, the scar she bore across her chest was a constant reminder of that.
Soul steps out into a grove of trees and brush feeling the weight of her emotions slowly lifting inch by blessed inch. She moves her frame forward on lithe pillars taking in the sight of the secret haven where she did most of her thinking, a branch splintering loudly beneath her feet, much to the annoyance of the feathered inhabitants. Chuckling to herself in the midst of the irritated chattering Soul reaches her desired spot between two large tree roots and reclines on her haunches beginning the time consuming task of removing various debris from her pelt. Tugging at a burr lodged in her coat the memories continue. Wolves she had known that were long since gone, the day she had been taken in by the alpha of the ravilin, the pups she had helped raise, so many good memories that out weighed the bad ones,mistakes made and forgiven. The silver female shakes herself visibly her grooming finished ,and rises to her pillars once more, pacing from one side of the glade to the other wondering if her time of solitude was at an end.Unconsciously she pauses in her meanderings realizing slowly the direction she faced. In that moment Soul knew the answer to the question even if her mind had denied it her body had betrayed her true feelings. It was in that moment a giddy feeling raced through her a true happiness that hadn't been acknowledged in all the time away.
One paw moves forward of its own accord followed by the next her mind clearing with each step. Deep down Soul knew she was destined for pack life and now was the time to return to it. Slow at first her gait picks up until she's nothing but a silver bullet flashing through the shadows the mustiness of the air clearing the nearer she came to the place she knew the others would be. Panting hard Soul throws her crania back ,muzzle lifted to the heavens, and releases a heartfelt song alerting anyone listening "I am home."
