As soon as he and Aquene had been settled enough for him to make the trip to the hollow, Kallik had set out from the canyon. He wanted his family to be whole again, or as much as they could be after everything that had happened. His guilt was a constant ache in his chest. He thought about his sons every day, wondering if they hated him for leaving. He knew what it was like to be left by one's father, so he wouldn't blame them. Mostly, he just wanted to see that they were okay. The last he had seen either son, they were children, and now months had passed. Guilt swelled inside his heart. He would never forgive himself for the choice he made. All he could do now was try to fix things. 

Kallik stopped a bit from the borders, not wanting to step on anyone's toes. He was here to see his son, and Paleo was an ally. If anything, he was immensely grateful for the fact that they had taken his wandering son in and kept him safe. 

He tipped his head back and sent a howl out over the valley, calling for his son. Then he waited.
