Ktulu heard Archibald before she saw him, but when he finally crashed through the foliage she breathed another sigh of relief. She stood strong, her head raised high as he approached. Despite her resolve to appear strong and capable, hough Archibald already knew she was, her eyes slipped shut as he breathed against her. She sighed again, soaking in his presence and enjoying the brief moment of comfort before he spoke.

"Tell me."

Tell him what, though? That she had thought about him far too often while she was investigating the new lands? That she had missed him terribly while she was away? That he invaded her dreams in the brief hours that she was able to sleep? That she loved him? That she was tired and sore and wanted to sleep for a few days? Or did he simply want to know what she had found in the new lands?

But Ktulu knew the Czar and figured that he likely wanted her report on the new lands before they discussed anything else. She sighed and shifted her weight into a more comfortable position as she thought back on her scouting trip. "I investigated the Blood Falls first. I found several horses from the Rift that wanted to get back to their home, but when I told them that I couldn't help them they became ... agitated." Ktulu began. "I was forced to fight them when they attacked me. I killed one of them before the others ran off." And she felt absolutely no remorse for doing so. 

"I didn't find anyone from the Rift in the Labyrinth, but it seems as though predators have moved into the land already. I was tracked by a pack of wolves." Her head tilted as she thought about it. "They take advantage of the landscape. Its easy for them to stay hidden and someone who doesn't know their way around to get lost." She did not want to dwell on the fact that she had gotten turned around afew times while trying to navigate the labyrinth, so she moved on.

"I found very little in the Flats. The island was the biggest pain in the ass to get to" She continued on. "I did find others on the island, but they were no trouble. The biggest issues is fighting the current to get there and back. I'll keep that in mind when I assign patrols." Because she did not want to send someone weak to fight the currents.

"I ran into trouble on my way back here, though." Ktulu said. "A stallion collecting mares and offering protection." She scoffed and rolled her eyes. "I had to fight him when I refused to join his harem." She should have killed him, but it was done and there was no going back.

She had only just finished giving her report when she heard "PAPA!" The voice made her turn and she blinked as she watched her son running toward her with a bear cub in tow. How long had she been gone? "Murtagh..." Eytan grunted and lumbered forward to meet the other cub, the newest addition to their family. "Yeah, I'm okay." She answered then grinned. "You finally found your cub, huh. What's her name?"

"Welcome home."

Ktulu's head turned and her body froze as she took in the form of the mare that she loved. "Kota..." She murmured the other mare's name and remained still as her wounds were tended to. After a moment, though, Ktulu sighed and nuzzled Lakota's ears. "I love you." She whispered, because after being gone for so long she needed to say it and Kota needed to hear it.
