She had day dreamed a lot about returning home to the forest she hoped to find her family in, and there had always been various different scenarios. Without having a whole lot of information to go off of, her imagination had been left to wander and living alone with just her Father for company had left her a lot of time for said wandering. But none of those detailed yet made up accounts could compare to the real deal. Halycon and Yami were flesh and blood and Midna would remember their faces, their voices; their everything, forever. It felt so easy for her to be here with them, and she felt relaxed in their presences in a way she hadn’t known before. Halcyon had a more mild demeanor than she felt her Father carried, and she felt herself wondering why exactly it was. Not only that, but they had been lone wolves for quite some time. It was in their blood, it was true, and they had always done well for themselves. But the existence was not without it’s difficulties, and Midna longed for a family she had never gotten the chance to really know. She had longed for a life she had never gotten the chance to life, but she had also accepted that there was no possible way for her to go back and do it differently. Thus she had to live with what she had, and because she could not go back she could only go forward. That decision brought her to follow her Father back here to Moladion, brought her here to the forest of Taviora, and brought her here on this particular day to meet her uncle and cousin.

Though she gave a good guess of generations skipping in terms of size when it came to Yami, Midna was happy to learn more about Halcyon and Iblis even in jest. The way her relative was so at ease with his surroundings, and with the two wolves with him; the forest sprite knew she could learn a lot from this uncle of hers. The thought was exciting, and along with the notion that Halcyon thought often of her and her Father, well it was more than enough to make her heart near bursting. Large tan paws fidget but hold her in place for she already had rushed them in her overwhelming affection. Nine years was a long time to be away from family and she had much time to make up for. A comfortable silence had been apparent between them all and Midna was simply basking in it. But the younger of the duo had more questions for her, and dual toned irises brightened at the prospect of his curiosity and interest. Truly she did not mind it, for unlike her Father, she held no reserves on sharing and answering questions of those who asked. Yami it’s beautiful- it is brilliant. Wolves, they are so many, and the lands are so many. Incredible, it all truly is. Amazing. Spectacular. It never ends, I swear; forever you could go, and ever. Everywhere. She had to catch herself and what he had originally asked her about, lest she continue to go on and on about whatever it was she happened to talk about. Midna was liable to lose herself in her day dreaming, and though it could be difficult for some she herself found it easy enough to accomplish even mid sentence. Thus she had to be mindful, though truly she was nowhere near finished.

When first we left, my Father he took me North, in search, of where it was Grandmother had come. But none we found had known, of who we knew, so we went on and I followed him, with much faith. My Father has not been happy, a long time it has been, but home I hope will make him happy. Mother will make him happy. When she said it, she realized she hadn’t let herself think about her yet. And she had said a lot, her tongue felt dry and her throat felt parched. The want to fidget in her large paws became even more evident then and she’s turning to face some direction into the pack land. Looking toward her uncle and cousin, she asks them about where she’d like to go. My travels have been good, as they have been long, and a drink perhaps sounds wonderful. Perhaps, a stream or river we can find. What say you, Uncle Halcyon, cousin Yami?

Hopeful eyes of sea-foam green teal that fade to the warm red brown toward the center look between the two wolves, so different and yet a part of each other, and a part of her all the same. Each of them was unique in their own regard and Midna was delighted to be able to finally meet them and know them at last.
