I got to the Throat much faster than I expected and when I landed on the sands I took a deep breath and sighed. Part of me had suspected that I would be sad the first time I went back because I would be leaving again. But I wasn't sad. I was finally content with the decision that I had made to leave because everything had seemed to fall into place. The only thing that could have made it better was if Cera was with me, but I wasn't going to ask him to leave the Throat when I knew how much he loved it there. As long as I could visit him in the Throat (since Gaucho had said I was welcome) I would.
"Cera!" I called out for my brother and I glanced around. I wanted to walk to the tree where we had always slept and look for him there, but I forced myself to stay where I was. Sure, Gaucho said I was welcome in the Throat, but I was still a guest. Guests didn't just wander around wherever they wanted. "Cera! Gaucho!" I tucked my wings tightly against my sides as I waited because I was confident that Cera would hear me calling for him and wouldn't keep me waiting long.
