Dear Mother,

How have you been? I do hope wherever you are now is warm and painless and you’re no longer suffering. I hope you’re able to rest easy, and I hope you don’t miss us too much.

A lot has changed since you passed onto the Summerlands.

For starters, we’ve really made this territory our home. I thought it was going to be difficult to get used to the idea of settling down, but I’ve decided I never want to wander around ever again. The journey was long but the destination was surely worth it. I know that goes against the whole ‘Journey Before Destination’ Oath, but it’s the truth.

You would’ve loved all the wondrous things nature has gifted us here. There’s even a waterfall that catches fire during sunsets! You have to go there sometime, if you’re in the area. Maybe we could go together. Just give me a sign, okay?

Daddy and Atti have changed, too. So much that there are times when I don’t even recognize them. I’ve tried my best to at least pretend that everything is normal and well, but I know now that that’s all it is: just me playing pretend. Like always. I only wish I could help them heal and move on, but I think your absence is too big a hole in their hearts for that to happen anytime soon. Maybe one day.

Of course, Daddy misses you most of all. I tried giving him as much space as he needed when you left, but… Well, I guess I miss him about as much as he misses you. Which is more than words can say.

I’m worried for Atti. I thought he would be stronger than he actually is. (Never tell him I said that.) But I wasn’t expecting him to close himself off from me. I had a rough time losing you, too, you know? I feel like I’m a horrible sister, that he feels like he can’t come to me anymore. That I’m someone he can ignore once things get painful. Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret, Mother: Atti’s got another thing coming to him! He can be mopey and moody all he wants but I refuse to be ignored any longer! I know you wouldn’t want us to be at odds with each other, anyhow. I’m going to try my best to set things right with that bonehead. Wish me luck!

And obviously, I miss you, too.

I’m sure you know of the strange white wolves that have been destroying nature for moons now. The wolves from the expedition party Rowena sent out say they’ve spread far into other packs’ territories, which means we’re basically surrounded by them. Do you think you and Daddy would have come here, had you known what terrors awaited us? Though it’s scary to think about these savages, I’m glad we came. I’m glad we’re now officially a part of Mhor.

And… I realized something. Something I’m not sure how to feel about. I was out with Talni- you remember him, don’t you?- and I realized. He knows more about Mhor than I do. He knows everyone, besides Daddy and Atti of course, but they don’t count. Some random loner we picked up along the way is more of a Mhorian than I am. I just… I know Daddy wanted to keep us safe by keeping some distance with the pack, but I think you both only made things harder for us. For me, at least. And when you died, the only wolves I ever really knew left me, too. In the end, I’m all alone, aren’t I?

But after all is said and done, I know I’ll be ok. Because I’m your daughter and I’ll get through this. All of it. I’ll figure something out, somehow. I promise I won’t let you down, Mother.

We’re all eagerly awaiting your return back to us. Please don’t be long.
