He had been gone for far too long. It had seemed like years. Maybe it had been years. It wasn't unlike him to just disappear without word and to return again as suddenly and out of the blue as he had left. He had planted the seed of a pack into Thanatos' mind. He had prepared him with hints of the ideal pack land. He had forced his brother to follow him around to clearly unusable pack lands for the purpose of pointing out what was wrong with them so Thanatos would know. Disappearing had been the plan the whole time. Thanatos would make a strong leader, he had learned from the best after all. He would give Nova the life that she deserved.
Kuruk had kept tabs on the pack which Thanatos had created. It was a pack called Eden and it was rather successful as far as he could tell. He had heard numbers ranging from 7 to 15 members but he wasn't exactly how many followers Thanatos had procured. His plan was to never return, to leave Thanatos to his own devices. Thanatos was stronger without him. With him gone, there was no safety net, no one to fall back on, no one to rely on. Everything was on his shoulders. However, he had heard that Kairos had taken yet another pack's land. Descai first and then Valyn, who was next? He wasn't sure what happened to the amazonian pack but he wasn't about to let Thanatos face Kairos alone if it came to it. He had done well in staying out of Eden's business as much as he could but Thanatos needed to know that he was here if he needed him.
In his time away, he had done a lot of soul searching. He wasn't the same young brute hell bent on conquering the world. He had re-evaluated what was important. It wasn't power that was important. It was family. In his time alone, he had realized that nothing was as important than those who had been by his side from the beginning.
Now, this isn't to say that he was a completely changed wolf. He was still himself, just perhaps a more subdued version, an older version, a wiser version.
Kuruk wanted to see Thanatos, to congratulate him on his successes. He wanted to see the little pup he had found in the desert so long ago. Kiara, the purple eyed child. He had known there was something special about her from the beginning and now he wanted to see what had become of her.
He hadn't bothered with howling or alerting anyone with his presence. Rude? Yes, but he'd like to see anyone try and stop him. His family owned this land. Hopefully Thanatos would be happy to see him. If not.. well then he'd be in a pickle. Kuruk knew that he wouldn't be pleased with someone who just packed up and left him in the middle of nowhere to do gods know what. But Thanatos had always been the more forgiving one out of the two of them. Nova would hate him, he was sure of it. But that was okay. Hating him would bring her closer to Thanatos and she would be happy.
He wasn't being overly cautious whilst searching through the hills for his brother. He wanted to be found so what was the point in keeping his presence hush hush? He could have easily howled but he wasn't sure if he wanted the whole pack to know that he was here. He only wanted a small meeting with Thanatos and to see Kiara before leaving them to their own devices. He didn't want to stay here and undermine everything that Thanatos had accomplished on his own. This pack belonged to his brother and as welcomed as he may or may not be, staying would weaken Thanatos. They were happier together but stronger alone. What a horrible predicament.
Thanatos
