Home again. AW.

Shit post. Sky's finally home. Feel free to come on inside; Sky won't mind the company. Her scent's pretty damn noticable at this point, being mostly old blood, dirt and AniWayan. xD

Wounded, scarred, tired but not dead. Not dead. Alive.

Sky had been lucky; Queen had hung around the AniWayan lands since the capture, like a faithful friend. Sky didn't have to walk all the way home, now that the battle was won.

But she knew Queen was lacking in care and health after the month without any proper treatment. She was thin, barely able to hold a trot for longer than a mile. Sky wouldn't push her. The journey home took days and by the time she'd made it to the borders again, she felt worn out, as if the battle had only just then been finished.

She'd met many good people after the battle had been won. Ephriam had survived, remaining in AnyWaya (as far as she knew) after Sky had yet again offered him a place in Cercatori d'Arte. The war was over, for now. She could return home safely.

The tired pair arrived on the borders shortly before dawn. Sky hopped off of Queen, patting the mare's flank gently and the leading the horse past the borders and into the territory. She knew her mission had been a failure in the end, but at least now Maska was of no threat to anyone. AniWaya could sort out their problems without the tyrant making things worse. She was not needed there.

Mind's all muddled. Sky thought to herself, getting no dark response from Sanja and no childish voices from her sons in return. She figured they were tired, too.

Her first stop was to the stables, where she led Queen into an empty stall to rest up, taking a moment to put down fresh hay and to give the mare food and water, as well as a blanket in case she got cold. Once Queen was settled in, the girl headed for her own home.

Taliesin would be waiting there, probably worried sick. How was she going to explain the scars? The torn ears?

The battle wounds?

She slipped into the house after unlocking the door (using the extra key hidden in the mailbox). Casper was by her side instantly, bleating his concern and rubbing his head against her hip affectionately. Shhh. Quiet, you silly thing. You'll wake Tal. She scolded, kneeling down to give her pet a hug, already feeling relaxed and glad to be home.

She'd missed this old, creepy house so much. She stood again once their moment was over and then decided that it was late enough to wake her mate. She wasn't sure if he'd be in their bed or not, so casually, she called up the stairs to him. I'm home!
