Time of Day: Early evening after exiting Verdantis territory and crossing the river.
The journey back was slow and cautious. During the entire trek, Enya was on edge and constantly looking back over her shoulder. Just because they said they wouldn't go after them didn't mean they wouldn't. Any sort of movement in the grass was a potential rogue slinking through the bushes, perhaps invisible or disguised as another creature. All the while she worried about being followed, she also worried about Shifty's health. He had taken a blow straight to his hind quarters which had instantly crippled him. Though she had used her magic to aid him, it was a brief burst and not a full deposit of effort. She could heal him more, but she worried about exhausting herself in case they pursued.
Enya also worried and had a very real concern that this had been some elaborate scheme to bring a spy willingly into their Kingdom. If that was the case, then she'd fallen right into their trap. She'd been played a fool, and they were likely laughing at her right now. This thought made her lips curl in anger. No, it couldn't be some elaborate scheme, right? They wouldn't actually wound their own pack member to make it seem more real, would they? 'I would' she thought to herself along the way home.
The strong odors of the territory boundaries gave Enya a warm feeling inside. Safety. Home. she instantly felt. She kept a close eye on Shifty as they traveled, telling him to stay close to her side as they crossed over the marked lands. Duskorna did not take kindly to any sort of trespassers, whether they were vagrants or other. Once they had passed into home, Enya lifted her head and called out with a loud howl that echoed through the trees and out across the lake. It called specifically for Caedwyn and Eon to come to her with haste. Urgency tinted her call as she made the alarm cry.
With her summons loosed, she shook to try and rid herself of the worry and stress she felt upon herself. Was she making the right choice by bringing Shifty back with her? "Make yourself comfortable. You need to rest your wounds." Enya encouraged with a smile on her face and a teal gaze stuck to him. Suspicion was getting the better of her. "You'll be meeting my fellow Monarch and my best Noble." she explained as she forced herself into a sit. She remained tense even as she did so. The threat wasn't over yet.
