Lost Creek Hollow onwards and onwards and upwards i go

terance came immediately... how could he not?

her howl was unforgettable, even if was not always the voice he wanted to hear. but it rang out like church bells through the hollow, and so terance picked up his pace on his patrol and beelined it forward. he'd howled back, letting her know he was coming, and then continued on.

he saw her, a breathe of air puffing from his maw in a white cloud of smoke. her beauty was still prevalent, though terance regarded it in a different way now. but it was not seabreeze that took his breathe away-- it was okeanos, who, any other day, he might've failed to recognize. he'd grown so big, but the boy was still his spitting image in size and shape. terance couldn't believe it. he chuffed, ears pressed forwards, and eventually came to a halt before them.

"seabreeze," he said gently, and then to his son, "okeanos." his voice was calm and collected, and harbored no ill-sound. he was happy to see them both, even seabreeze, even after their last encounter. he didn't rush to embrace okeanos, remembering what the boy had thought of him last, but his muscles were spring loaded and ready if the boy so changed his mind. "you've grown so much..." he murmured, a broad smile pressed to his muzzle, "what can i do for you?" he asked, and then another, "where is ibis?"
