Semananti had been out of Relic Lore for quite the time, and she was returning with a new person, a new her. Her face was all torn up, the left half riddled in slashes and scars that had healed over time. She still had vision in both eyes, and she was luck for that, but she had scars that riddled over her body. She aimed to return home, to her home in Willow Ridge, the home she left to take care of some… family business. She stood there, at the borders of her former home, and she let out one long, steady howl for the female she called Ma’am, or her leader, @Elettra Archer. She wondered whom was still there, she assumed the loyal second Guiness was always still there, and she knew Ma’am Elettra would be there.

She scented the borders, her eyes had a strange… spark.. to them as she remembered old scents. There were the two men, whom had fought at the pack meeting, their scents displayed on the borders in which she had used to call home. There was the scent of her ma’am and a few new scents that she would learn to know in time. Ma’am Elettra had sanctioned her trip, though she was unsure if others had known about that, and for that reason alone she called for only Ma’am Elettra and no one else. She hoped others would respect her decision of course. She hoped Lady Elettra still recognized the female whom had been gone for almost 3 months. Though she was back earlier than she expected, she had a bit of help from a few old friends of hers…. the huntress’ of Artemis. Hummingbird and Sacredlight had saved her life, fought alongside her, and helped her come out on top.

On top of that, she spoke highly to them about Willow Ridge, and about Lady Elettra and she hoped that her friends might find themselves at the borders one day, including joining and therefore she could have former friends as part of her official family. She was a wolf of the Ridge by heart, and she was grateful for all that she had. Lady Elettra, everyone, they would not believe what I went through to get back here. It was hard, but Artemis did light my path, Ma’am Elettra’s blessing worked. I’m still alive after all. Her thoughts filled with gratitude, and she let her song be heard. She called, and clearly stated in her message, that she wanted to see only her alpha, Ma’am Elettra.

What had actually happened was a long story, and one that she was saddened to talk about. In her time in the Ridge, she had left the lore, just on the outskirts, close enough to get back after scouting, when she had bumped into a family member of hers. The name of this family member… Silverstar, her aunt. They sparred a bit, but then when Semananti won, her aunt told her of some grave news about her siblings planning a hostile takeover of the pack. Semananti knew that her siblings were mad at her for leaving, despite the sanctioned Huntress of Artemis blessing that had been given to her. She knew that if she hadn’t left to go and stop it, she would be next. When she got permission from her alpha to leave Willow Ridge on absence, she headed off to find her aunt’s body, clawed open. That was the last line for Semananti. She headed off into the distance, and she got them alone without them knowing, taking them out one by one. She took seven of them out individually over the course of two months. Then she ran into Hummingbird and Sacredlight. When she met up with them, they were overjoyed to see her. They had been really close to her, and she explained her situation. They decided to help her.

There was a group of 10 wolves whom had been plotting against the pack, and inevitably against her. There was the ring leader, whom was still alive, Adimila. Then there were the other two whom were still alive, the second in command and the other second in command, Ethan {her uncle} and Zachary {her brother}. The ones that she had killed, all sisters of hers and while it pained her to see them go, she didn’t regret a thing. When the day arrived where she was to stop this invasion of the pack, she led the two friends of hers into battle. They both fought bravely, and took out Ethan and Zachary like they were nothing. They were going to help with the toughest opponent Semananti would ever face, Adimila, but Sema ordered them to back off. She stood there tall and demanded her sister give in and go into exile. But her sister had other plans, and leapt at her, tearing up her face in her first attack. Semananti and Adimila fought, and that was the only reason Sema had scars that riddled her body. It was because her sister did it to her.

Sema’s howl for Elettra, it was strong and clear, asking for her, and she hoped Elettra would know the reasons for why she was howling in the first place, she was back until she died. She was forever loyal to the Ridge, she had sworn it on Artemis.

As soon as she had seen the black and grey fur of her alpha, she let her tail tuck against her stomach and her head lower in a greeting of respect. "It is done. I will always return home, I may have been gone but my spirit never left the Ridge." She told her alpha in response to her question. "Lady Elettra, I return to you just as I promised I would, in hopes that all has been well at home. I especially hope that everything has been well with yourself and the pups." She told her, it had been so long since she had seen the female, at least to her it was, and she couldn’t bear the pain of being away from her home any longer. She knew to the least amount, that Elettra knew that she would have had to do some fighting outside the Lore, and Sema did hope that El had expected some scars when she returned. For a good majority of Sema’s face was clawed up with permanent scars, like Skana, but perhaps a few more…

Who knew, Sema had only really seen Skana once, at the meeting that had occurred slightly before Sema had left. She knew not how the female had gotten the scars, only that she never cared about them. Sema was the kind of wolf to display her scars with almost an honor. "The others, I hope they have been well as well." She told her alpha, assuming that none had left since she had departed. She knew Guiness and Angier and Hotei were loyal, and would never leave. She remembered the two male’s fighting each other at the meeting, the only time she had really met Angier. Then there was Tempest and Skana, who were both above her. Sema wasn’t going to leave again, she didn’t care about any reasons that she might have with herself to leave, it wasn’t happening.

She knew what she was going to do and when. She was going to get back in at whatever it took and she was going to challenge her way up to the rank right below Elettra. She would stay there too.

Semananti had nodded, knowing that she had her work cut out for her if she wanted to regain the rank that she once held near Elettra. She had run into Narcissa, who also introduced herself as a scout when they had met. "I returned through Cedarwood Forest, and ran into a new scout of yours, Narcissa. Though she seemed a bit uneasy when I told her I was a former scout, and hopefully with your permission, a current scout. It appears I have my work cut out for me Lady Elettra." She said with a light tone, they had met a man there too, but she was unsure about it all. It just seemed like things had moved along too fast in that interaction for Sema to get a good reading on him and also as to what he was like.

There was news about Tempest being attacked, injured, and Sema was completely appalled. She would have never expected anyone to harm the kind fae whom she had last seen long ago. "I am glad to hear that Tempest is recovering.... if I find who's responsible. I swear on Artemis that they will pay." There was a venom in her voice, a protective tone as well. She cared about all her packmates, even if sometimes she didn't show it or acted as if she didn't, they were as good as family to her, being that she had just killed most of her own family to protect what she saw as a threat. Her father was either dead or still out there, but she left that out and gave no indication to that in anything she said or did. He was probably dead. There was still a smile on her face from when Elettra mentioned being an 'Amazonian Pack'.

Her mind had almost filled up with memories of her time at the Ridge before everything went down with her family. Elettra had stated once more that she still held scout, and while she would respect everyone in the pack, she still felt like she was the more experienced one. Surely she would try to work herself up the ranks, she wasn't going to back down to any wolf except Elettra, Skana [whom she didn't know very well, but still respected highly for age and experience as she was raised in such ways] and then the males who were above her. Her fur was still flat against her skin, her tail had a small wag to it because she was officially home, she felt as if every moment since she left had led up to this, and above all, she felt she still had many things to prove.

Her eyes had not met Elettra's once, that was disrespectful and Sema saw no reason to be disrespectful. She as a scout, would spend a lot of time in the surrounding areas. "Oh, one last thing Lady Elettra, how is Narime doing? Last I saw her she nearly threw up on me. I do hope that she is better?" Sema asked, having a small respect that had been brewing for the alpha female of Whisper Caverns. It was almost habit to respect leaders, and especially one who was so kind as the female had been to Sema. From what Semananti knew, Elettra and Narime were good friends, and therefore, Semananti had a respect for her. It was as simple as that, she crossed the scent line of the borders, home. She was home.

Semananti had not even a flash of worry in her eyes as she thought about traveling up through the ranks, doing challenge after challenge. If she did by chance lose a challenge [which at the time she didn’t think was possible] she would wait, train a bit more, and then get back to challenging the wolves. She smiled at hearing that Narime had been fair and she had even given the pack food in offering for their help. "It is good to hear that all has been well here in my absence, mi’lady. If I may, I’d like to go around meeting some of the newer members and maybe I could even find an older member who would recognize me… that is if they aren’t busy of course." She said calmly, her eyes flashed. She’d get to see Guiness and Tempest, two of her only friends in the pack.

She missed all her friends, she wasn’t going to lie, but she felt like she had very little time for friends in the any sorts. She was basically waiting {a habit she had picked up from her birth pack} for Lady Elettra to dismiss her in some way. She had shown similar behavior when Elettra had sent her out on her first assignment as a scout, to go visit Narime and set up a meeting between the packs. It was very hard to break habits, especially ones like what Semananti had developed in her life time. When she learned or believed something, then she tended to stick to it, you’d never see her with a toe out of line. Never.
