Here. It had been here.
Not the ground where she stood, but the peak above, rising high and ominous into the clouds. She could still smell the ozone, taste blood in her mouth. Her pelt had grown back but the scars remained.
Why return? Perhaps not to these mountains, but she'd felt a yearning for these lands. Maybe a home could be made in the place of fireflies, where she'd first met Varick. They could raise their remaining children there. . .
Or the valley below? There was a familiarity to it, something she couldn't quite grasp. It certainly didn't ring the kind of bells that the mountain did.
The mountain, she would never forget. But with her mate's help, she had piece by piece put her mind and soul back together. She was whole again.
She stood silently overlooking the vale, wind lifting her ebony pelt. Miyako had returned.
