Amara greeted Ronan and Narfary with a short bark, her tail wagged and was happy to see them. But her mind afar, she couldn't concentrate and was having a hard time. She had thought she was herself again and didn't have much worry for she had the pack by her side. But ever since she returned she felt the urge to run, to be free again, not that it was a burden to her to be home again. But she felt she had to leave, she didn't feel the same. Her heart wanted to stay but her head wanted to leave, she felt she didn't belong. Being a loner had changed her greatly, she was always looking for danger and keeping her distance from others, her species was supposed to be social and want to stay. But... She couldn't decide, she had a longing to be a loner again, as if life were better alone but... She felt if she left the pack she would again be lonely. Amara stared blankly out toward the horizon, keeping her idea on leaving. She couldn't just up and leave the pack like she did before but instinct was telling her to, to leave no questions asked. Why? She had fought the urge to listen to her instinct since she returned, but slowly over time, she got just that much closer to leaving. Why must she leave? Why didn't she want to stay, where she belonged? She didn't feel like she fit in anymore, she was raised by hyenas she had remembered and felt she was no longer the African Wild Dog she once was, now she was what she grew up as... a hyena. The change had happened so fast, faster than the speed of light her mind had quickly decided it was time to return to her own kind... but she was a wild dog not a hyena. But, she had to go back, go back to the life she knew best. When she became an adult wild dog she told herself she was a wild dog, but when she was growing up she told herself she was a hyena. It was as if she were reborn, not the hyena she grew up to be but a wild dog. But now, she must become her old self again, instinct had told her to turn back ever since she left her hyena family but this time it was stronger than ever and she couldn't fight it. She had to leave, but she had to sneak away. She didn't want to suffer from the expressions on the other dog's faces when she went to leave. Tonight, she would leave to return home, her real home. The home she had known and loved since she was just a week old, she knew the hyenas territory better than her own homeland. She must return to the familiarity of the hyenas territory, she felt as if she weren't safe. She was insecure, she felt she had to leave and tonight would be the time to return home.
 
Narfary greeted Amara with an open smile. He was relieved that she had came over to be with Ronan and himself. But it wasn't until he watched the play of emotions cross Amara's face, that he realize why. Her longing look at the horizon just confirmed his suspicions. She was leaving, he had known deep down, this was coming. He'd lied to himself, he'd believed that his love would have be enough to keep her happy, that she'd stay, because she loved him back equally. But she had only been humoring him and that hurt a little. He thought as he looked at his pack, they needed him and he could never walk away from his family. But he remained himself that Amara, was an outsider. Her nomad spirit only confirmed it. He had no illusions, as he looked back at Amara, this was all the goodbye he was going to get. He smiled sadly to himself, as he looked down at the ground. Odd that he just now remembered the words his adopted mother always said. "If you love something so much, you must set it free, so it can live it's life or else it will suffer and suffocate, coming to resent you for it's captivity." He had always dismissed that sentiment as frivolous words. But now he understood them, all to well. He looked at her to memorize her features, for soon she was going to be gone. He glanced over at Ronan, she had worry on her face as she looked back at him. He shook his head slightly and tried to smile.

Amara took her attention finally back to Narfary and Ronan. She shook her head and scratched her ear with her foot. "How have you guy's been?" She asked innocently

Narfary snapped at a fly and said, "I'm good. I'm just glad to be home. A calmness has found me. It's nice to be a whole pack again." He said as he nodded to their weakened members. "The worry of leaving them unprotected, was hard to bare. And you? How have you been these days?" Narfary asked Amara.
 
Amara nodded. "I've been well, I like being here with you but... never mind. I am a bit tired that's all." Amara yawned a bit.

Narfary nodded thoughtfully, then said to Amara, "Those who come from two different worlds, often find they need to live in both. You needn't choose one over the other, but embrace them both. That is what makes you so unique. Most only know one way. But you know two." Narfary stood up and hugged her with his neck. "Don't be a stranger Amara. Because it's always good to have allies on both sides of a territory. Because when you are among us, you will always be welcomed." He looked at her and smiled deeply. "Okay friend?" He finished quietly.
 
Amara nodded, she had to stay as long as she could before instinct became too strong. Instinct was strong but she was stronger. She would stay as long as possible before she is completely taken by instinct, it was a risky choice because some animals that were taken by instinct, never left. Their spirit never came back. But she would stay as long as possible
 
At her nod, Narfary exhaled the breath he'd been holding. "Good, we've come to far, for such small things to separate us." He said to her.

Ronan wagged her tail at the happy news. Amara was such a special dog. She believed that everything worked out. Narfary was right, she would always be family.
 
Amara smiled and nodded.

Axel came to them, panting. "There is a jakal stuck in a snare" he quickly panted
