I hadn’t been expecting this feeling. I always knew imprint bonds were strong but the feeling I had towards Anatola were all consuming. I knew it was right that Mother and Father had passed together, I was hardly above a stranger to the wolfess I recently found I was fated too and I knew that if she were to die I would feel my life tossed into chaos for it. It had been distracting having such a strong pull towards her, I found myself consumed in wanting to get to know her, who she was and where she was from. Sadly though our meetings were here and there and never as long as I would like. I really do wish to invite her to live within the safe confines of my ancestral home of Diveen, but I also understand the need of her paws to be able to go as they will and when they want. It is perhaps odd that many of my siblings also found their partner’s in healers, perhaps a certain trait or patience that those have were required to deal with some of my siblings, or our family’s exuberance. Guardian even had picked a girl who had healing in her background, then of course there was Celeste with that wolf. I hadn’t met him, but I knew he was a healer, that was about as far as it got in our short exchange when she had invited me to this affair and asked me to track down our sister to inform her.

I of course did my best to tell her of our meeting here, that we would hopefully see our littermate Zaphkiel for the first time in ages. I do not think our last one, Ambrosia, would be coming. I missed her terribly, I had found even in our youth that she was different, one complete and not searching as we were searching, but I hadn’t seen her in years. Perhaps like me she sought something out there beyond Moladion, but now I am certain I am not going to leave ever again not as long as Anatola found this land to be her home.

Today though was about my family, a family I had been distant from for most of my life as I chased the voices of the stars and now the wind and earth, everything, could speak too. I still found myself attached to the stars, but now I could choose to listen, my mind not filled with the voices at all times of night and day. I am still primarily a wolf of night I think, but it was harder to wander the night with those terrors lurking in the dark. While I was built to be a warrior like my mother and father I never used my strength of body for anything more violent than feeding myself, so it limited my wandering now.

I was a bit groggy to say the least though, I had not slept yet today, but I felt the desire to be with my family. It kept me going as I walked to the fields where Celeste said we would meet and I am immediately greeted with the gleeful shouts and yips of wolves that were far younger than I. I make it sound like I was old… I midlife to put it nicely, but always I had a mind far older than my body. My bright violet and blue gaze went over to those gathered and I place myself with the adults.

”Our family is larger than I thought.” I said seating myself next to my elder sister. ”Which ones our yours, other than the one clinging to your ankle?” I ask her then turn my gaze to Nord, ”Then you must be Nord,” I state though I do not take the moment to say my name, I figured he probably already knew just as I knew and I wasn’t about to go into a boring spree of saying more of the obvious. After all there was only one wolf in all our family that looked as I looked. Bright cinnamon fur, then star-touched in nearly the exact same way as our mother. Really I am the perfect combination of both my parents, I had taken on both of their significant markings and now more than ever I am happy with my resemblance to them.
