All Welcome 
days crept by and portia did not heal. she had hardly begun to accept dalia’s leave when her best friend left. when her best friend left with her daughter. 


another child, gone. 

portia tried so hard to be so strong for her remaining to children. for her husband. she tried so hard.

so hard. 

she was absent, however, from hougeda. portia did not return to the caverns at night, afraid to face her remaining family as the failure she knew she was. she was a horrible mother, a horrible wife, and lately? a horrible medic. 

she wandered the territory all throughout the day and late into the night, unable to sleep and unwilling to eat. she grew delirious— distancing herself even further from her family. it was not fair for them to see her in this state, and portia knew this much.

they surely noticed her absence, but her scent was along the outskirts of the territory. 

until the storm. 

she was on the cliffs, green gaze glassy. she was not the beautiful, graceful woman she had come to drageda as. she was crazed, her fur ruffled and unkempt, but matted to her still. her tail was lifeless, posture weak, frame frail. portia had given up on her own, and if the ocean didn’t take her she would’ve gone anyway. 

the winds were harsh, rain blinding. the cliffs were slippery, and any other day portia would’ve known to avoid them during a storm like this. but she was not in her right mind, and so along them she wandered. only to slip.

and fall.

down. 
down. 
down. 
splash.

— 

portia would resurface long after the storm, her presence completely solidified from the pack. it was likely they thought she left, abandoned them. but she hadn’t, not on purpose. 

her body washed up along the same beach she used to look for shells on with dalia. the same beach she’d take walks with dio on. she returned to the shores that she loved so dearly. 

if only she knew she were back. 

her body was ragged, waterlogged, but the piebald fur was unmistakably hers. the body was unmistakably portia. 

she laid in the sand, body curved into a crescent moon, as the waves lapped against her hind legs and tail.
