Picking up the pieces

@Maksim

Thankful for the refreshing afternoon air, Capella wandered back towards Cut Rock River. She'd spent most of the day attempting to fill their caches, but to no avail. The herds were beginning to return, but it seemed they were still far and few between. Her defeated sigh drowned out the silence as she let her head droop towards the Earth. Maybe tomorrow would bring her better luck, but for now all she could do was take on a quick patrol and then return to Lachesis.

Once she reached their borders, she averted her direction to skirt just inside of them. Nothing seemed amiss, which she was thankful for; Especially with cub season just on the horizon. Whenever the topic crossed her mind she felt homesick, remembering the days when Karpos and Adsila were no bigger than her head. Still she longed for the days when her ghostly companion's smile didn't hold a fake tinge to it, or when Shade's scent laced each corner of the territory. Of course she would be forever greatful to Maksim who had taken her in after the loss of Ana. He was kind, but that was all she really knew. Her life in Cut Rock River had been limited to Lachesis' needs, as well as her duties to the pack which left little time to really get to know anyone. Another great sigh fell from her lips. Where had the time gone?

Soon there would be new pups to run after, and maybe that would fill the void? Something to take all of their minds off of the hellish winter.

worlds are ruined this way, and we've all been there time and time again.
