It's All Coming Back To Me

They reached the borders and FitzDutiful felt the longing to return to his mountain haven. He didn't intend to stay much longer for he felt that burning desire to retreat into the one place he had let his heart be captured by. It grew in the distance as they walked back and his eyes soaked in his mountain home.

"I have to get back," he told Charon, pretty sure that his beta friend would understand the responsibilities that lay there. "but when my children are older, will you come with us to the sea sometime?" It would be handy to have someone who had always lived so close to the sea along to make sure that they didn't get themselves into trouble. FitzDutiful had learnt a lot on this particular journey, and not just about the bay pack, but his knowledge had just showed him how dangerous the world can be without proper care.

He waited for Charon's reply and nodded with acceptance for whatever the answer would be before racing off to his mountain home.
