[ COMPLETED ]

It had taken him weeks but he'd finally realized that he was never going <i>back home.</i> Wherever he was, he was clearly going to have to accept. Not, of course, that he thought the burnt wasteland he was currently traveling through was particularly pleasant. Snow drifted down on his head and the only break in the gray and white was an occasional lone songbird. It was all painfully unfamiliar.

Ganelon had never been the type to get homesick. Ganelon wasn't noted for getting attached to places. It wasn't that he missed the world he'd lost, but there was one person he wished he hadn't left behind. Granted, he was the kind of person to disappear without warning. This time, though, he'd really been hoping he could work things out and stay around.

Maybe it wasn't meant to be.

He had spent most of his hours of walking around thinking through it, but he hadn't come to any conclusion. He started again, pale eyes narrowed at the ground, burly frame traveling slowly across the frozen ground.

<i>..never going 'back home.'</i>

A bird scattered as he passed, followed by a flock. Pigeons, he thought. Maybe.

<i>..homesick..</i>

The birds were the first living things he'd seen out here. The other animals were probably hibernating. They progressed to dark specks on the horizon.

<i>..he could have stuck around, given the chance.</i>

Too late. No going back. Some kind of magical catastrophe had kidnapped him; he knew exactly what it looked like when wizard bullshit happened. So that left him alone again.

His poor wife. She was alone, too.

One of the dark specks didn't disappear like the others. He wasn't sure when he noticed it, but he realized that he was staring at it and that he'd stopped walking. The snow got heavier; it stuck on his horns and back. The distant shape got bigger.

<i>..wasn't meant to be.</i>

Not a pigeon; another wolf, he saw, coming his way across the devastation. He stared at the shape. He had entertained the idea that he was the only person in this new world, briefly, before, but clearly not.

He wasn't sure if he should be relieved or disappointed.

<i>ooc: Hey there If you could, it would be great to avoid things in your rp that essentially already pre-conceive what another character is going to do - so "another wolf he saw, coming his way" is already trying to determine what another character is going to do, and that's not something that should be done in a proper rp. Let other people decide how they're going to approach you in a thread! Set the scene and then you can react to how they arrive. </i>

Aura was fluttering about her little orchard that she'd created a while back in these lands, checking on the fruit trees and making sure the chill temperatures hadn't killed any of them off. In a normal world, this would have already happened, of course, but here, she used the powers of her elemental affinity to earth to make sure that they had stayed alive even through the harshest frosts. Spring was on the horizon and she could already feel it getting warmer, so soon it would be all a moot point, really. However, the tiny wolf fluttered between each of the trees and inspected them, giving them a bit more of a push with her affinity when it seemed that they were in need and simply ensuring that all looked well. Her flat and wide wings carried her rather easily through the air between each of them, her size making her look almost like some sort of tiny bird of sorts.

As she went about her merry way, she did look outwards from time to time. It wasn't that she was expecting anyone, but she always held out hope that some wolf would come visiting. Especially friends of hers that she'd made, she had told many of them about her new living space, and well, she hoped that sometimes some of them might come by. It hadn't happened yet unfortunately, and just as she stopped her motions, resting on her tree den of sorts that she'd built amidst all of her merry trees, it started snowing again. Shaking her head, she was about to simply tuck herself back into her den atop the tree when she saw a shape in the distance. Tilting her head curiously, the small wolf pushed herself back into the air again with a burst of her air affinity and headed towards the dark shape on the horizon. It looked like a wolf, and she wondered if it was one of her friends or perhaps a lost wolf making their way towards her location.

Aura got closer, and noted the large horned profile of a lerkrat, one that she didn't know. She smiled slightly and flew towards him so she could get within barking distance, addressing him with a nod. <b>"Hey! Hello there! Are you lost or looking for something? I have some shelter up ahead if you'd like to get a little out of this snow."</b> She offered brightly, smiling as she did so with a wag of her tail as she hovered mid-air, waiting for what he would respond.

Unfortunately the lerkrat did not come any closer, much to her disappointment. She shrugged and fluttered back to the warmth of her den in the trees. Perhaps he would come closer and see that there was shelter here, and then she could help.
