I’m so proud! I am so happy! But… Now… Everything I did doesn’t make sense anymore! I wanted them to suffer for what they let happen to our children. But… Here he is, standing healthy and beautiful before me. My beloved son! Oh! I love him so much! Look at him, how strong and perfect he is! My eyes watering as I look his form.
He returned my wolfish hug! He… Wrapped his own neck around my own. The warmth of his fur, it’s so comforting! It’s so good to touch my own son. After so many years, I’m allowed to touch my son. I told him how I missed him, how I loved him as we pulled away. How I wish I could have stayed a bit more. He smiled and his head tilted. He… He returned my words!? Had he!? I have never heard these words from any of my children. My tail wags behind me happily as I heard his words. I am nearly crying, such is my happiness.
He blames himself for being away for so long. But no! It was not him! It wasn’t his fault. It was mine! I should have looked more! I should have done more for them, for all of them. I hope someday he will forgive me for this. It’s all my fault! He smiled even broader with my words. They were true! But by the sheepish grin on his face, I can tell he doesn’t feel better. Oh! I need to do something about this, I need to think of something. I told him what happened while he was away, his head lowered and I can see it is for guilt. I took a step forward and used my muzzle to gently push his muzzle upwards until his gaze met mine once again before I retracted.
- It’s not your fault, Elric! Don’t feel this way, son.
It makes me feel bad to see him like this. It’s my fault and I know it.
As I finished, he is curious and asks me what have they to discriminate for. And he asks me about my injuries. Oh, so many things had happened and I cannot just lie to my son. But I am so ashamed. My head lowered with my tail and I sat down.
- When we came back to Moladion, your mother and I refused to join our old pack, to go with our old friends. And when your mother built the new pack, a cannibal became part of the pack. Many wolves, considered bad by our old friends and pack mates. We gave them a home and became a pack. Now we are called demons… They threatened us… and I was afraid… I was so afraid we could have become a target to those called assassins and I was angry too… I don’t know… I… Attacked… Wolves from Diveen, from their pack… Assassins… -I paused - I captured a wolf named Amir. He is my worst enemy, son. He had betrayed me a long time ago after I took care of him with all my heart. He did this to me, son… He is the one responsible for these wounds… I underestimated him and he did this to me… And now…
I looked at myself, my left paw. Mauled by Amir and weak. My head turned slowly to look at my side and analyze the wounds there a little closer. Scratches, bruises and cuts. It looks horrible and it still hurts and stings. The wind slowly blew past me and caressed what was left of my black and brown fur. My head turned to look at him again. As he asked me if I couldn’t save the others.
- I tried, my son. I swear I did my best! While everyone was running from the falling star, I was running back to the pack to find you and the others. But I couldn’t find anyone. I looked everywhere, son. I swear I tried!
I told him. He looks away for a few moments. I didn’t want him to feel this way! Oh son! I am so sorry! The guilt eats me alive as my head lowers. I swear I tried, I did my best to find them, but I couldn’t, I couldn’t do it! Not alone… Not Alone!
- Tesseract, Caligula and Celesdue made it too. They are alive and well…- I raised my head - But Tesseract and Caligula betrayed us, son… They tried to kill Vidar. And now, Vidar had been taken by Diveen and I think it has something to do with them.
My face instantly filled with concern and sadness. After I loved Tesseract and Caligula and did everything for them as if they were my own… They betrayed us. Why? Why did they do this to us?
He forced a smile back to his face and told me I am doing great as an alpha. He proceeded to tell me that he is here to help and commented that it is his birth right. I chuckled with him. I asked him where he had been. I smiled as he told me that he had been everywhere.
- I am so happy, son! I love you!
