Stone Circle I'll Be Here

As the lone howl traveled past the borders, the smile upon Greyback's face stretched. He could never forget the sound of his children, especially his daughter. Truth be told, he had been missing her dearly since her departure.

He leaned gently against Valette as they followed the call, their children skipping and padding along to the border with them. And though the man usually remained calm and composed, the long gate of his stride easily expressed how much of a hurry he was in to see Ira.

Nearing the border, he broke out into a sprint when he saw her, his large figure tumbling down the hillside before embracing her in a fury of whines and licks. "My Star, you're home!" he exclaimed, his tail wagging behind him as he continued to rub against her in greeting. She smelled different now, but it wasn't entirely bad. Still, the Patriarch couldn't help but control himself now that their relationship was more or less fixed.
