Sunspire Mountains praying like a fool who just shot a gun

She hadn’t seen another way… she cared deeply for Mereo, and everything that it had given her and her family… but with both of her sons gone, her husband still not returned… she could not stand to keep going on and doing her duty to the pack. Even Germanicus knew it… he had to know it, after everything that she had put him through when it came to his decisions, the more irritable and antsy she had grown. She hadn’t been herself… a part of her had been mourning.
 
Her family had crumpled at her feet, dispersing out, her closest friends gone from her life, not gone fully, but she hardly got to see them and even then things felt strained… no, she hadn’t been herself, and so she had set out to find the piece of herself that had been missing the longest… she remembered the first time she had managed to catch his scent… it had been stale, but it had been undeniably him and it had brought her a great relief.
 
She supposed she shouldn’t have been surprised when the scent trial had started to bring her closer to Mereo. She was still some distance from the borders, and to be quite honest a part of her hesitated to return. She did not know how the other members of the pack had taken her sudden and hasty exit… she hadn’t known how to feel about it herself if she had been honest.
 
Instead, her heart felt like it might soon beat out of her chest, as if she were gasping for breath, feeling the tears prick in her eyes, a sense of overwhelming relief… and perhaps even a hint of dread… what would he think of her decision to leave, to go after him. What had he been told when he arrived home only to learn that his sons and wife were not there? What if he thought she had abandoned him just as his own family had?
 
And with it, came a song from her maw, a call for him that she hoped he would hear from within Mereo’s borders, the depth of the emotion reaching out, desperately praying for the reunion she had been dreaming of for months.
