The smile she gave him was so painfully familiar it almost made him cry in both joy and sadness. How he missed his old pack mates, his family, the lush and diverce tangling of the forests around them. But, like the time before, the pack was forced to leave their home.
Shadowfax lived on, however, in the heart and soul of this very wolf. Syon had passed all her knowledge onto him, aall the secrets of the pack and the way they lived, and she'd been in a long familial line of alphas leading the Shadowfax pack. In him the customs lived on, as long as the vow to revive it burned within him.
"Being a subordinate in Shadowfax wasn't so bad, you have to admit.... I would know, I rose through them all in my life!"
Her good mood floundered, heavy with guilt, and Heldi's words hit him hard. She thought this was HER fault? Just at Rana had apologized for not finding them after the floods, trying too to take on her own fault, Zephyr was quick to shoot them down. HE had been the alpha, and it'd been HIS job to keep them all safe. In that, he had failed, but at least he was already doing everything in his power to keep his dream moving towards reality.
"Heldi, nothing you could have done possibly would have changed our outcomes. The flood was not your fault, and neither were the mountain lions. For you to leave was the best decision, and now Shadowfax can live on in us, in this new pack."
