Dragoncrest Cliffs i wanted to be your anchor

samesies!

Artaax wasn't certain how he would feel upon arriving at Drageda. While he had been guiled with homesickness the entire time he'd been away, it was disappointing to be returning without Wildfire. The knowledge that she was alive and safe was some comfort, and unlike his sister, he had accepted that their actions had been for the best. Still, it was painful to leave her behind, and he felt nervous for the rest of Drageda would respond to the news of the decision heda had made.

In spite of it all, Artaax breathed in nothing but relief upon crossing into the borders of his home. His guilt and shame over his behavior at the Caldera's borders had been eased during the journey, and now that he walked upon familiar land again, he felt lighter than ever as though some great burden had been lifted. He looked at nomi and smiled as she announced their arrival, his heartbeat quickening as he imagined Bobby somewhere within the territory now racing to welcome them.

His gaze turned to Blixen as the call ended and he wasn't surprised to see her looking less than pleased. Artaax frowned softly, but not in a disapproving way. He knew she wasn't happy about leaving Wildfire behind, but they were home now, and soon mom would be back as well. Wordlessly, he reached for her and nipped lightly at the fur along her shoulderblade, offering a wry smile as though saying cheer up, we're home!
