Kintla Flatlands o wild west wind, thou breath of autumn's being

this is going to be a big group thread, so i'm only going to open rounds to the main participants. next round will start in 3-5 days depending on how quickly everyone posts, some things still need to be wrapped up first so it may take a minute to get everyone in

post order; zephyr, @Taikon, @Takiyok, @Rowan
cameos welcome; @Taktuq, @Phillip, @Electra, @Rosalie

He leads the group through the mountains and beyond, as promised. There's something calming about knowing that he'll be home soon, that safety is right around the corner. Home is a welcome thought; he doesn't think he'll be going so far again any time soon. He'll never truly quiet his wandering heart, but he can't imagine being away from his Phillip his forest for so long again. He pauses alongside the river that they'd followed from the lake, gaze drifting south, then slightly west — ah, there it is. The woods, in the distance. He glances to Taikon, then Takiyok, and tips his head back and calls — not just for Rowan. He calls for Phillip too, and for the remnants of his family gathered here. He's finally home, and he wants to see all of them.
