She felt like a stranger to herself in lithe human body, after many months of ragged fur covered her able form, it felt soothing to have the touch of silk against her skin. To have a skirt hang loosely off her hips, floating down to her ankles as it slowly flared outwards. To feel the night's cool mist on her bare arms, and her midnight hair, like little waterfalls of oblivion, cascade down her back. The soft cotton her halter top was woven of felt wonderful hugging her stomach. Though her sharp mahogany eyes still held that wolven glow (That Raven loved) as she admired her old home from a short distance. The time since she had left was now closing in on a year, and yet this place still held that old familiarity. The winds brought scents of new blood, and changes; Raven couldn't begin to fathom what could be familiar about this place now.
But nonetheless she took another step forward in the journey that had brought her this far. Soon she was closee enough to lay her mildly tanned hand on the cold entryway, and did so, leaning on it for support. And just for a second, while memories filled her head, she couldn't remember why she had left. In one exquisite movement though, she gently pushe herself away from the entrance, and it occured to her that she hadn't wanted to go.
But with brushing those thoughts aside, Raven wondered what new dramas might be unfolding in the Lycan Tunnels, surely the war would be long over now. The young lycan girl smirked as she pondered the current events of lycans. And so she walked through the entrance, also wondering to herself if she might find a familiar face, or if anyone would remember her.

It was the middle of the day and Cealla was bored. There was simply nothing to do in the Tunnels, and she didn't dare to leave for a swim in the lake. Mother might not like that, and she hated to worry her mother. Usually when she went off to cause trouble she didn't think about the worry she might be causing the other lycans, but today she stopped to think about it. And instead of leaving the Tunnels, she simply flopped down at the entrance and yawned.
It wasn't long before the pup was asleep, her chest rising evenly in the glow of the mid-day light coming from the Tunnel entrance. Her form melted into the shadows, allowing her to be nothing more than a little patch of black amongst the other darkness.
But she instantly awoke when she heard the sound of someone moving around, someone who didn't smell familliar. A growl built in her throat, but she pushed it down. Perhaps it was just someone she had never met.
Dragging herself up onto her paws, she sniffed the air again and then advanced on the stranger, blocking her path. Staring up into the woman's face, she didn't notice anything familiar. But she had the same smell as all the other lycans did, so she was slightly reassured.
"Who are you?" She said, taking another good look at the stranger. The fur on her back bristled a little, but other than that she remained as calm as she could.

Raven ran her hands along the cold walls, as she moved slowly past the doorway, gracefully moving her weight from one foot to the other. Her hair, which had once been dread-locks, though now combed through floated across her face as she tilted her head in curious admiration of the lovely place. Lost in an ethereal daze, the scent of a young lycan was , at first, lost on her. It wasn't until her movement was put to a sudden halt by a small wolven form in front of her, and a firm voice in the back of her mind that Raven realized she was in someone else's company. The woman recognized neither the young girl nor her voice, but nonetheless joyed at the sight of another lycan.
A sutble smile filled Raven's lips, and eyes, "My name's Raven-Skye, I once lived here," her voice was soft, a little more then a whisper. Though you could still hear the adrenaline she felt at being back in this place. "May I have the pleasure of your name?" Raven continued conversationally

The woman's voice had a calming effect on the pup and she allowed her muscles to relax. Someone who had once lived here? It must have been before her own birth...yet many things had happened in the Tunnels before she had been alive. So much history was held in these caves of stone, beautiful living quartes with such a story to tell.
"Cealla." She replied, lowering her head in respect. The name Raven-Skye didn't sound at all familiar to her, but certainly Xavier or one of the older lycans would know who she was. If she used to live here, someone certainly had to know her.
"Well... it's not like my opinion matters much, but you're welcome here." She said, pausing to think. "You said you used to live here. Are you going to live here again, someday? Or are you simply... visiting?"

Raven placed her back and weight on the wall behind her as the pup spoke. Her thoughts were showered all over the place in her mind. Cealla? That was a pretty name, for some reason it sounded familiar. Welcome to live here again? it occured to Raven that she hadn't thought out what she was going to do when she got here. In Cealla's only a second pause these thoughts briefly chased around her head, though for some reason, it was her, Cealla, that vocalized the questions, not Raven. The sound of her asking that cooled Raven's anxious mind enough to answer.
"Thank you for the welcome, it does mean something," she said cheerily enough, "I would love to live here again, should I be allowed," Did she just say that? It just slipped out; the lycan didn't even have time to think it over before it rolled off her lips. Well, she thought she may as well continue the thought since she had already started it, "I wonder, is Morgana still around here somewhere?"

"She's around."
Kage entered the room from the tunnel leading off to his personal chambers, clad in loose black pants and an equally loose sleeveless gray shirt. He scooped his daughter into his arms, kissing the top of Cealla's cute little head.
"Though not as much as necessary. The Tunnels are practically leaderless, save for Xavier. Morgana comes and goes, and Sealla...." Kage found himself trailing off. He still bore the scars from their last meeting.
"....she's just not here."

Cealla barked at the sudden appearence of her father, taking a few running leaps towards him before he scooped her up off the ground. She licked his face affectionately before just lying still in his arms, content to let him inform Raven-Skye of all the happenings as of late. After all, she really didn't know much when it came to the comings and goings of the Tunnels. And the only thing her mother had told her about her grandmother was that she had died, and yet people still spoke of her like she was alive.
Honestly, the whole affair just confused her. Grinning playfully, she squirmed out of her father's arms and back onto the stone floor, her gaze shifting between him and Raven-Skye.

"What do you mean Sealla's just not here?" the question was called out from the area around the tunnel's opening.
Following the voices and the scents, Paige came upon the group. Two faces were familiar, and though the child's face wasn't familiar her scent was. Kage's scent was mixed in with hers, so that led the blonde to believe he was the girl's father. Smiling a greeting to all three lycans, she turned her gaze on Kage.
"Where is she if she's not in her home?" she demanded, her tone more curious than harsh. To Raven-Skye she sent Welcome back, glad to see I'm not the only one who decided to come back.
ooc: I can't remember whether Paige and Raven met in the old days, but it's likely they at least knew each other in passing.. Either way, welcome back.

Kage pushed his tongue into the inside of his cheek, struggling with the truth he would now have to reveal.
"This isnt her home anymore." He said softly, running his hands through his hair.

OOC: I think Paige, and Ravenmet in the Forest, and Tunnels a few times with Sealla ^_^
BIC: In the seconds after Raven finished her sentence, the scent of a wolven-man filled her nostrils, and little Cealla was swept up off the floor into a set of strong arms. From the adoring look in the man's eyes, to the way he gently kissed the young pup on her head, Raven was lead to assume that this man was the Cealla's father. The thought that this man might have answers didn't even have time to cross her head before he started to give them out. Normally the lycan woman would be happy to have the these answers, but hye was telling her things she didn't want to hear. Where was Morgana? And who was Xavier? Why was Sealla not here? She had betrayed the feared Chailyn in order to help the Tunnels; surely after something like that she wouldn't just pack up and leave. Raven hoped for an explanation. Though just as she opened her lips to speak, once again, someone asked the nessecary questions for her; Paige's voice filled her ears. At last, someone she recognized, remembered: Paige.
'Good to see you again Paige; nice to see a familiar face' Raven replied, though her attention was quickly brought back to the male lycan as he spoke again. "Why would she leave? What has happened?" She asked her voice calm though had a sharp edge of urgency.

Getting her wheelchair down to the tunnels was an effort Hayzie wasn't sure she could put herself through more than once every few weeks. The extent of magic used to enable her mode of transport from one level to another of dirt, and getting her wheels through the dirt track was a challenge in itself, left the blonde girl tired, but there was no way she was turning back. A familiar presence could be felt around the tunnels, one which hadn't been felt for a long while.
Once more, her wheelchair got stuck behind a stone. Scowling at the offending object, the blonde moved it with her wand and headed further towards the tunnels, the place she had considered home a long time back. Since the "death" of Sealla, Hayz had sworn never to go back, and yet here she was.
Finally, Hayz reached the mouth of the tunnels and peeked inside, seeing a few of the Lycans that she knew, Kage and... "Raven?" Hayz asked, in disbelief, her voice quiet. It had been far too long since her first Lycan friend had been seen, and even longer since Hayzie herself had seen her.

Raven's intent stare at Kage was broken ever so easily by a whisper (A whisper that she could barely hear) coming from behind her. She knew that voice, she knew that scent. All of a sudden, she forgot about the circle of lycans around her, and whipped around searching for Hayzie's familiar face. She wasn't hard to find, it seemed the prefect hadn't changed a whole lot, still the mischievous blonde she remembered, except....
"Hayzie!" with running the distance between the two of them, Raven managed to go from a mature lycan woman to a little girl on Christmas morning. Skidding to a hault in front of her old friend, Raven continued, "Hayzie...How have you....what have you...." it wasn't often that speech failed the articulate Raven, but now was one of those times as she tried to convey her excitement.

Hayzie couldn't help but giggle as Raven ran over, a look of excitement on her face which wasn't disappearing any time soon. Shaking her head and allowing her smile to grow slightly. "Okay, okay, calm down. It's only me," she joked, taking her friend's hand into her own.
"Where on earth did you get to? You just... disappeared without a trace. Never mind me! I want to hear stories, because I'm sure you've got some," Hayz grinned.

Though dispite her efforts, Raven couldn't keep herself from smiling maniacally, she did take a few seconds to take a couple of deep breaths; gently squeezing Hayzie's hand, "Sorry, I'm just hapy to see you," Raven said softly as her heart came back to it normal rate, "And stories? I might have a few, I'll swap for a few of yours?" the lycan continued with a child-like smile

Hayzie's grin seemed to fade as Raven made an agreement to swap some stories. Quickly, Hayzie had to try and think of some to cover up the current situation, and hit gold immedietly. Of course she had stories to tell!
"I think you have yourself a deal," the blonde girl replied, brushing some hair out of her eyes. "So long as you go first!" she continued, poking her tongue out childishly.
