Zelda had always wished that Halcyon would have settled down after everything that had happened to him in Iromar. He wanted to have the freedom to do more though. Help his son, and it made her heart hurt so much to see where all of that landed him in time. It was… unfair of fate to treat him that way. Someone who didn’t deserve half of what life threw at him for any of the reasons there. Zelda couldn’t be sure why Aspis had acted how he did, or what happened, but she was disappointed, perhaps even actually angry at the boy for rejecting his parent who had done nothing to deserve being rebuffed. Though it would never show. Zelda was perhaps jealous even of the child. He at least had a father that stayed and wanted to love and take care of him. Zelda’s father had left shortly after she was born, never to be seen again… Like she or her mother didn’t matter. Aspis did not know that many wolves out there lacked what he had. A complete family that did love and care for him. Of course she ultimately blamed Blackthorne for twisting him… this wasn’t entirely Aspis’ fault…

The information that Blackthorne had fallen seemed to not bring much comfort to Halcyon. Not that she could blame him. He had been through a lot thanks to that wolf. What happened next though Zelda didn’t know. She nodded as his hope that the new queen would rebuild it in a way that Aithne and Praetor had. That was a hope. ”I plan to meet with her soon. I had Tepiltzin take one of the fleeing wolves from Blackthorne… apparently even his own pack mates were not treated well and knew of the scourge he was. It is… sad… He seems to be truly gone though, perhaps even from Moladion itself… For now.” For she wasn’t sure if or when he would be back. Losing his pack surely would sting for a wolf like him. Good though. Now if he were go to near anyone, they knew his face… his history. He would not be getting a pack that way again.

She smiled though when he said he was here to stay, that he would be buried next to his parents, her grandparents. She wanted that for herself too someday, whenever the time came for her to return to the earth. ”Well hopefully that particular part won’t be happening anytime soon, but I am so happy to have you both here. Welcome home.” She said gently before touching her nose to his check and then Yami’s as well. She took a deep contented breath she knew it would be a change for him, but hopefully a good one. Honestly she never really thought much about him wishing to take to the ranks.

”I think you as my Triforce would be fitting, Uncle Halcyon. No tasks necessary, I know you will do whatever you can to help me take care of the wolves of this pack and help out however you can. As for Yami, he still has a lot of growing to do, and learning. Where would you like to start?
She asked him, tilting her head and looking over his features. He surely took after his mother, that much was for sure, though his eyes… they were so similar to her own. While hers were a teal green, his own bright green was still similar in a way, she had gotten her teal colored eyes from her father after all, then he even had the stringy brown streaks, that made his eyes looked like cracked earth. The similarity was enough to make her smile for a moment thinking about their heritage and what they shared, though she tried not to get too distracted. There was still more to do after all.
