Silvia trotted through the outer lands of Helidos heading to her favorite place. It felt much better to bne apart of the lands she knew so well. Silvia felt happiness being back, knowing that some wolves would be happy to see her brightened her mood. Knowing that Azul would enjoy seeing her made her heart skip a beat. She liked Azul, he was sweet to her and very kind, they had shared their life stories. It had been magical, and the memory was still clear in the white she-wolf's mind. Walking down a softly worn path she moved at a slower pace her eyes drinking in the beautiful summer scenery. The summer was already warm but being a white color Silvia didn't notice them as much seeing as she was white and it reflected the hot sun rays. Walking past so!e thicker brush she finally heard it and felt a wave of calmness go over her. This was her place. She would always feel a twinge of guilt for leaving. She did hate herself for that.

Picking up the pace Silvia quickly rushed towards the falls feeling many emotions come up as she did. The falls had been a special place for her, and she remember some things very clearly. Coming to the falls she could see the clear water and her excitment grew. She had not seen the falls in the summer and they were quite beautiful. She walked up to the edge of the water and felt a rush of playfulness. Silvia launched her white body into the water the roaring of the falls having a peaceful affect on her mood. She swam around the cool waters feeling a bit pup like after that. She crawled out of the water shaking it off. Splatters of cool water hit the smooth stonwes around her and she walked over to a sunny spot to dry off. This would be a perfect day. The only way it could be better was if she could see some of her old packmates. Azul came to mind once more and she felt her tail wagging as she watched the falls sighing softly.

The sun was shining and the birds were chirping. It was impossible for the wolf to sleep at this hour anyhow. He closed his eyes and listened to the song birds singing their hearts out to one another. He smiled as he pulled himself to his paws. Wandering out of his den, he shook the loose dirt from his milky white pelt. Though there were so places where he could not clean it off, he was alright with that. He knew there was a place where he could wash it all off. He moved through the territory and headed for neutral lands. The Elder looked to the Alpha's den as he passed, hearing the parents trying to control their young. He couldn't help but to smile. The white wolf moved through the pack clearing and headed for the neutral lands. He walked casually, taking his time as he had no reason to rush. As he wandered on, he took note of all the young life. It was nice seeing the young life, sometimes he missed his own young. The Elder had finally made it to the area of interest.

The falls were glorious and thriving with the summer. The rains from spring seemed to really bring a lot of water this year. But it was not long before Azul found his eyes seeking another form of beauty. A white wolf was swimming in the waters. At first glance he thought he was seeing a ghost, but eventually he knew it was Silvia. She had disappeared from the lands for a while and he did not know why. He watched her swimming in a circle, playing and enjoying herself. He smiled as he watched in silence, standing still as not to startle her. He cleared his throat in silence as he finally made his way closer to the water's edge. "It's not every day I see someone so beautiful, surrounded by a beautiful place."

Silvia had been lying down, her ears laid back as she thought about her old memories. Silvia sighed softly, and looked around hearing the birds chirp and the sun was shining brightly. She was home, and she did feel happier now. She was lying down next to the large bolder, soaking up the sun feeling it’s warmth drying her fur. Silvia rested her head on her paws, her bright blue eyes watching the water continuously tumble down the falls. The roar wasn’t as loud, for Silvia had gotten used to the sound and it didn’t seem to bother her as much. Silvia pushed herself up, ready to take another dip into the water when she heard a wolf clear their throat. His scent wrapped around Silvia and her eyes widened. Silvia’s head whipped around, and her blue eyes widened seeing Azul standing there. It was almost a dream, seeing him as he wagged his tail a little bit and spoke. She looked down, hearing his words, her ears laid back a bit in shyness. Silvia looked back up at him, her tail wagging slightly at his words. ”It is not everyday I see a wolf so handsome standing before me.” She used his words against him, a smile coming to her black lips as she moved over to him. His scent was strong in her nose, and as Silvia walked towards him she felt a sense of relief. Silvia walked up to him, and took a seat, her fur bright in the sunlight just as his was. Silvia felt her affection grow as she looked at him, and in a surprised motion she pushed her head under his chin rubbing against him. ”It is has been a long while Azul…” Silvia whispered, feeling the warmth of the older wolf against her own fur and she sighed, their scents mingling in the air.
(Ack, tablet keeps freezing. I hope this is ok Azul love)

Jerking her head back to look at him, Azul smiled wide. It was not long before she came close to him, and even closer than he had ever planned. As she nuzzled him beneath his chin, he wrapped his head around her neck. He too returned the nuzzle as he listened to her speak in a happy tone. He closed his eyes as his nose found itself rustling through her fur, collecting the scent he had missed for some time. He recalled their day together, speaking of their lives as he was finally able to let some of his knowledge and age go to good use. The previous Alpha smiled as she rested against him. "It has been far too long. Where have you been since we last spoke? I had plans to come find you, to get to know you better. But when I went around the pack, I found your scent nowhere to be found. Did you go on some sort of mission for the Alphess? Please, share your adventures with me... For I have missed you..." Azul spoke in a soft and tender tone. It was one he used often, though it seemed even more gentle with her. It had been a long time since the brute felt like he could be close to another wolf. He trusted her with a lot of information about himself, and his own private thoughts. As they embraced, he did not want to move away, but he didn't want it to be awkward. He fought within himself for a few moments, until finally staying still. If she thought it was weird, she could move away.

Silvia felt Azul stiffen for a moment, surprised by her movement to press to him. She smiled when she felt his head go over her neck in a warm embrace. Silvia took in a deep breath, closing her eyes tightly hoping that this was all real and not a dream. Being gone for so long had put a damper on her own reality. Silvia relaxed against Azul, realizing she had been holding her breath and let it out slowly. She opened her soft blue eyes as he spoke, listening to him and she felt guilt reminding herself that she had left. His tone was soft, and tender it wasn’t harsh or nagging. Silvia closed her eyes once more for just a moment enjoying the embrace, and taking a step back letting out another breath. Silvia sat down looking up at the taller older wolf, a crooked smile on her lips. “I did not go on a mission for the alphess. I don’t know what possessed me to leave Azul. I guess I felt like I didn’t belong and after being gone for so long...I did. I know that this is my home and I wouldn’t change it for the world Azul.” Silvia said looking towards the water as she sat there thinking about the memories of them. Silvia looked back to him, to explain more, her white fur blowing in the wind. ”I found a different land not to far from here, chilly but nice. It didn’t have any packs but it did have a few lone wolves. I didn’t really enjoy being around them so I made sure to stay away and be on my own. After being gone for that amount of time...i felt something missing. I realized that the day I left, i left behind my home and my heart.” Silvia said quietly her voice quiet. ”Will you forgive me Azul?” She whispered emotions high in her voice. Silvia felt as though he wouldn’t if she didn’t try to ask.

"Silvia, I have no reason to hold anything against you.." he said as he looked to her after she had finished all her thoughts. She had expressed something was missing, but was she really referring to the large wolf before her? Or was she only thinking of the whole pack? It was hard to tell from her words, but being pressed against her, Azul could not pull his mind to anything else. "Did you at least make friends with these loners? Rogues can be very dangerous. I have heard horrible stories about loners, or even those who are exiled from their lands for committing horrid acts. You should be careful, should you ever decide to wander again. It is dangerous even for me to wander alone. I have found myself to do it more, since I stepped down from my Alpha position, but there's not really much for me to do. I have congress with the Alpha pair every now and then, but I don't have any actual duties or things which are required of me. It's kind of pleasant, actually. I can come and go as I please. I answer to the Alpha's directly and no others can tell me to do this or that. But please, tell me more of your adventure. I wish to know so much more about you." He smiled as he allowed himself to completely relax. He did not topple his weight onto her, instead he just sat pleasantly. She could always move from him if she so wished it.
