Larksong Grotto Guess who's back!

@Hiram

Emory stood at the edge of Larksong Grotto, relieved the territory was still there. A petite sliver of doubt followered her as she trailed farther into her friends pack. She wondered how much had changed since she left both her twin and her old friend. She was only lucky to find her way back to Teekon. Hopefully, Reek, who she had no idea his name changed, was still the leader. If not, she'd surely be attacked for even stepping foot on the edge. It had been a long few months away from her family - well, her brother that is. Which took a toll on her, they were inseperable and to be stripped of her partner in crime was heartbreaking. 

It was a dumb decision to go wandering about Teekon alone, without any guide or stable idea of the terrain. She ended up lost, only getting farther and farther away from her brother and friend the more she traveled. Of course, she would never openly admit her mistake, but the fact lingered in her mind. Fortunately, she returned and managed to make it alone by using her alluring looks and personality to get whatever it is she wanted, except for the one thing she never got - Charley. She didn't expect much to change since her departure, but it wasn't as though she came unprepared. 

Her nose twitched, searching for any sign of her old friend whom she desperately needed, in order to gain the answers she'd been striving for.

So sorry for the wait on this!

After the incident, Hiram would take more time than usual to walk the border. There, he could think with a clear head. And when he did, he thought of his daughter -- and he tried to think of what he had done to turn her this way. Had she always been a bad egg. She and Indra both, did they both go bad together? Hiram believed it stemmed from Saena's influence on them when they were young. Perhaps if he had been there the whole time... they would have been different. When they finally came into his life, Hiram had tried his hardest to create a loving environment. A family. His daughters, selfishly, had other plans.

As he walked, Hiram's mind then drifted to Indra; the once sweet-natured who warmed his heart every time she called him "Papa." Now, in the place that there had been such warmth was all iced over. She was gone. She would not return. And Hiram, he had failed both his daughters.

He shelved his inward struggle when he saw a figure appear on the horizon. From the distance, Hiram couldnt recognize the wolf, but her stance was vaguely familiar to him. So close to the border, Hiram made his way to intercept the wolf before she could wander any further, but when he got close enough to see the strangers features, he was stricken with a wave of recognition. "Emory?" he gasped.

Don't worry about it!

Emory's ears lowered, her eyes brightened upon seeing Reek, though he smelled a tad different, though maintained the same similar lack of spark within him. She felt a wave of nostalgia remembering the past between the two (three including Charley), and the sense of life to his personality. The vixen had a sense of pity among her expression, but the most noticeable feature was her large smile, one she never used around strangers--only shared among two others.

"Reek!" She rushed towards him as quick as she could, her heart began to speed up, her tail wagged behind her. "I've missed you so much!" She had blown it, running off by accident when reaching Teekon. The wolfess had so much potential here, and she threw it all away, but she made it, she really did. Her whole life could be on track again, Charley, Reek, and Emory back at it again.

She failed to realize the fantasy before her was likely impossible, she had missed the largest changes in the past few months made whatever could've happened completely out of reach.
