It had been a little while since the pup play day. The outcome wasn't quite what I wanted it to be, but it was still fun for the few that showed up. In return for holding the play date, Coszcotl had rewarded me with the rank of Dream Catcher. I simply couldn't put it into words about how ecstatic I was about this; I had worked so hard to set the whole thing up and my efforts didn't go on blind eyes. Coszcotl was such a kind leader, honestly he was the closest thing to a father figure I have ever had, since it was only me and my adopted mother for a while and then just me. I had been doing all this stuff to try and keep my mind off the super sad thing that had happened to me, that left me with a constant ache in my heart and feeling of emptiness.

It had been a little while now since Meltdown had disappeared and taken our bond with him. I remember the feeling of his just breaking apart, the magic spell being broken. I had cried for so long, searched for so long, but he was gone. I don't know why or where he went, but I did know that he was never coming back; fate knew this and decided to spare me the pain of waiting and hoping for him to return, severing our bond forever. And when I turned to my friends for support, they all looked so happy with their lives, I just couldn't burden them with my problems. So I stayed quiet and kept my distance so I didn't bring rain clouds on their sunny days.

I moved from the pack lands of Taviora today, carrying a small medicine pouch with me that I would use to collect herbs and other medical supplies in that only grew out in the free lands. My splayed paw gave me a lopsided gait and made me limp ever so slightly and I had a few scars visible on my face from the attack I had faced which seemed like forever ago; I was far from perfect, a bunch of flaws stitched together with good intentions. Despite this, I moved with a swift, grace, paying particular mind not to let my clumsiness get the better of me and trip over something.

Before I even arrived at the fields, I heard the howl asking for company, and when I arrived company had already gotten there. There were so many wolves! It filled me with a strange sadness as memories of a similar gathering found a way back into my mind: the day I met Meltdown and he imprinted on me. I quickly shook them off before the tears could push past my eyes. My violet gaze swept over each wolf and then I quickly moved to the outskirts of the gathering to search for herbs there in peace. I just.....couldn't be with them and risk finding another imprint who might leave me....
