A long time ago there lived a witch couple who was forced into hiding or else they might get caught by those who wish them dead. They lived by the laws of nature, never killing more than was necessary and always showing respect for the creatures of the forest that were told to have created the forests. They had lived peacfully outside of a village that had considered them gods and worshiped their kind ways and healing abilities. They thought that they had forever escaped danger, that is until the day the hunters burned down the village. The couple wanted to protect their followers so the went to their aid hoping to at least save most of their friends. Sadly that is not how it had panned out. The hunters had captured Minke, the healer of the couple and used her to capture her lover Hildred, a Witch born to black magic. The Hunters tied Minke to the stake and lit a stack of wood beneath her, ignoring the screams and pleas from the dark witch behind them. Before she caught fire however the healer smiled down at her lover and simply said, "Do not worry my love, I promise to find you. It may not be our next life or the life after that, but we will be together. And, when that time comes the bloodlines of those who have wronged us today shall end and we will finally be free." And, with the promise embedded in a curse spoken she laid back and allowed the flames to engulf her, saved from watching her love as she was beheaded.
Plot

The steam around the town was starting to get on her nerves. Why did every machine have to run off of steam power? Sure the Walkers were attracted to high voltage electrical currents but did that mean they had to convert to steam? It felt like they were going backwards in technological advancement. It's weird but it's almost like I can remember the times when electricity was run off of uranium, but that was a little over three-hundred years ago. The thought struck her suddenly as she wandered the decaying streets still covered in ash from hundreds of years ago when the citizens had scorched the old buildings from when the Walkers had first come to earth. They stories tell of how the Walkers were drawn to strong power sources so the people of the old world destroyed all sources of power. No one knows how the uranium was destroyed but it is recommended that no one ask. All the secrets that were hidden from the new world annoyed her as well. She had so many questions, all of which were closely linked to all of her strange thoughts and and visions of what seemed to be the of the past.
"I need to get my head straight. Why do these strange thoughts keep haunting me?" She murmured under her breath as she pushed through the crow on the street with a giant black Wolf, her familiar Ebony. They did their best to avoid people on horses pulling carriages and people walking to work. All of these people were a mixture of Witches and Humans alike, chatting and laughing with each other as if there was not a care in the world. She was thinking about how ignorant they all were to be so care free in their current world when the smell of dry herbs and something so familiar but out of reach hit her. It was the scent of a Healing Witch and of a dear person but she did not know any Healing Witches. "What is wrong Esme? You look as if you have seen a ghost." Ebony growled, looking up at her Witch companion. "I think someone imporant is near." The girl murmured quietly, stopping in the middle of the crowed street before looking around for the source of her unease.
Aria gave a small wave as the child she just healed from a scratch on the leg ran off to happily got find his friends. Things had seemed to be calming down in the town, it had been a while since the last walker attack and people were starting to fall back into their usual routines. Granted, Aria liked to see people being happy, but she did have her worries that they might be allowing themselves to grow a little to comfortable. Were they ready if another walker attack came? Reaching into the pouch on her belt, Aria pulled out a small herb before putting it in her mouth, letting it's sweet scent and taste calm her a bit.
"Aria, you alright?" the familiar voice of Remy, Aria's white fox familiar spoke up as she stood at the healing witch's side. Casting a smiled down at Remy, Aria gave a small nod "Yeah, sorry, guess I wondered off into thought a bit." she giggled. Her face grew a bit more serious a moment later as she sensed someone not far off in the crowd of the streets, it felt familiar.... like that person she dreamed of but could never seem to remember. "Come on Remy." Aria spoke before leading the way over.

The scent seemed to be getting farther away and for some reason this made Esme panic. The fear of losing someone again took over her quickly, leaving her a mess of anxiety. She couldn't miss this person. She needed her for reasons unknown to her. "There she is! That's the girl who stole one of our chickens! Get her Maldo!" A girl with long brown hair screamed, smellin gof earth and sharp magic. "s**t! Damn it Ebony did you really have to take that girl's chicken? You can hunt for crying out loud! Come lets go!" She hated running but she was no match for another Witch in her current condition, she had been expanding all of her magical energy summoning her shadowlings. With a growl of annoyance, Esme lept onto her familiars back befor eurging Ebony onwards.
The Earth Witch had different plans for her however. A large rock formation shot up underneath Ebony sending the partners into the air. "Volito!" A panicked spell was uttered as Esme held her hand out towards her already injured familiar who stopped falling and instead began to gently float down. She on the other hand slammed down onto her back in front of a fox. A white fox at that. "A Familiar?" She managed to hiss out, her mind swimming, her familiar whining from a distance. The people of the town didn't seem to notice or care about what was going on. Witches often fought, and even often killed each other. "Esme!" The wolf seemed to be unable to get up because of her front paws having been trapped under a rock. Esme tried to get up herself but her legs weren't agreeing with her, her blood runnig cold when she saw the other Witch walking towards her familiar with her Brown Bear familiar.
Hearing a thud, both Remy and Aria turned, only for the person who had fallen to hiss at Remy. Going to the girl's side and kneeling down, Aria couldn't help but to feel a strange connection with the black haired woman. "Are you alright?" she asked but her attention quickly shifted as she heard Remy speak a quiet "Ari" followed by a low growl. Looking over at Remy, she found her white fox familiar crouched and ready to strike as another witch and her brown bear familiar approached. Getting back up to her feet, Aria took a stance in between the two witches. "Leave now and no one will get hurt." Aria spoke firmly letting a couple strands of light dance around her arms, ready to fight if needed. Aria didn't like needless violence if it could be avoided, plus the thought of the girl behind her getting hurt was something she'd rather avoid. Was she the one that Aria couldn't ever seem to remember?

Esme looked up at the girl who knelt beside her. Her heart hurt for a moment before joy filled her every being, though she did not know why she knew that this girl was important. She would have o wait however seeing as how the Earth Witch had not stopped walking towards Ebony. The Dark Witch was in full panic modenow, completely forgetting about the girl beside her. She was completely consumed by her worry for her familiar. "Ebony!" She tried one more time to get up and managed to do so with some difficulty. "This has nothing to do with you healer. The dark on e is the one who has stolen from me. She is my target." While the Earth Witch was busy with Aria Esme had managed to stumble her way to the wolf, pulling her paw out from under the rock that had probably been a trap set there by the Earth Witch. "Why are you happy Esme? Did the Healer say something to you?" Ebony asked her, looking over at the girl who's hand was surrounded in light. The Wolf noted that the Earth Witch seemed hesitant to harm the Healer but not completely opposed to the idea. "Ebony can you run?" The girl asked her familiar quietly. "I can carry you all to safety yes. But, after I go so far I will need to rest and heal.
Esme thought over what he familiar said, looking between the other two witches as she did so. The bear familiar was slowly crawling towards the Healer which made Esme angry for some reason. Very angry. "Opertis!" She called out as shadows wrapped themselves around the eyes of the Earth Witch and the Bear, startling both. With a distraction set in motion Esme mounted her familiar who took off towards the Healer and the Fox. "Come on!" She grabbed the Healer as they ran past, sitting Aria on her lap before leaning her body over the blonde to keep her protected while Ebony grabbed the Fox between her teeth. The Wolf rushed them deeper into the small city, her gait uneven as she did her best to work through the pain in her back right paw. "Ebony don't push yourself any harder. Find a dark alley and I'll do the rest." Ebony was more than happy to follow orders as she dashed down the closest alley. It was no surprise to Esme when the Wolf fell out from under them, it was all she could do to grab the Heale in time to stand up and avoid them all falling into a pile on the ground. "Non abscondam." Shadows blocked off the end of the alley as she set the girl in her arms down on the ground.

Noticing the bear familiar moving closer to the black haired witch's wolf, Remy moved between the two. Sure, Remy wasn't much for fighting if it could be avoid, and looking up at the towering bear, Remy knew that she would have to outsmart it opposed to flat out strength. Lucky for her, foxes are known for their cleverness. She cast a glance over at Aria who was still standing between the injured witch and the earth witch who had claimed that the other had stolen from her. It was fairly clear that the earth witch didn't want to fight Aria, not much of a surprise, healer could be rather difficult to come by, and attacking one more often than not brought a lot of distrust from other people.
Despite the earth witch moving closer, Aria held her ground, light swirling around her arms in preparation to defend should she decide to attack. "That's no reason to get violent." Aria spoke firmly, her emerald gaze not trailing off the other witch. She could hear the black haired witch moving a bit behind her, heading towards her familiar, but ignored it, hoping that the two could get away.
Without warning, the black wolf got to her feet, the witch mounting her Good, looks like they're okay. Just have to make sure this earth witch doesn't mess up their escape. Aria thought to herself. The amount of relief that Aria felt seeing the two be able to get up was like nothing Aria had felt before. A split moment later the black haired witch and her familiar were at her side, and she was pulled into the lap of the witch she had come to save, Remy being carried by her scruff in the black wolf's mouth. Aria wasn't sure why, but something about being close to this witch was comforting.... familiar, but she knew she'd never met the woman before. Despite it feeling natural, a light blush came to Aria's face as the group took off, hiding in an alley where the witch set her onto the ground.
Words couldn't seem to find their way out of Aria's mouth for a moment as she looked at the two who felt so familiar. A moment later, Aria seemed to regain herself as she looked at the black haired witch "Please let me help you two." she spoke part of her tone making it clear that she wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer. She didn't want to leave this woman's side, she didn't know why, but it felt almost like she had found a long lost friend. She could feel Remy's tail give the back of her leg a light flick, informing the white haired witch of her presence.

☾✹☽
Esme put some work into strengthening the barrier at the lip of the alley. Thanks to a little illusion work, any one who didn't know what they were looking for would just think that it was a continuation of the wall. Hopefully the Earth Witch wouldn't know what she was looking if she decided to pursue them. "Really a chicken? I have money, I could of bought you three chickens but you had to steal didn't you?" She scolded her familiar as she turned to look at the Wolf that was laying on the ground. Her tone however was not harsh. She could tell that Ebony was in a lot of pain, and she herself was surprised she was standing. They had both gotten thrown pretty hard and Ebony seemed to have gotten the worst of it all. "Are you alright girl?" She asked, limping over to her familiar before dropping down next to her. "I will live. Did you hit your head child? You are bleeding." The wolf panted, bringing her head up to lick the side of her Witches head to clean the wound. It was obvious that such a small gesture was a struggle for her familiar and it worried her. when Ebony was satisfied that most of the blood was cleaned up she rested her head back on the ground. "Fox, that was very brave of you back there. I respect your loyalty and courage. That Bear was much bigger than you but you still stood by you Witch's side in a fight that was not yours. For your help I thank you." The wolf spoke humbly, sighing at the feel of her Witch's hand stroking her neck.
Esme was caught off guard when the other Witch spoke. The over whelming need to hold the girl struck her suddenly, knocking the air out of her. It took her a moment to be able to bring air back into her lungs to speak. "Thank you for your help back there. If it had been just me and Ebony that Witch would of gotten us. You created a distraction that we could use to escape and now you want to help us further. I am extremely grateful, and sorry that you got dragged into this. That Witch my come after you now and it is our fault." She said calmly, forcing herself to stand up so that she was at least eye level with her savior. "I would greatly appreciate it if you would help Ebony one last time. My wounds will heal quickly but I am afraid Ebony's are a bit more serious. I'm surprised that she was able to get us this far I can feel the pain she is in and it is no small amount." She did her best to stand on her twisted ankle, but that was only the worst of her injuries. Besides a bit of bruising and a head injury that refused to stop bleeding she was fine. Her familiar n the other hand had gotten the brunt of the attack since it had come from underneath her. Esme feared that the Wolf may have a few broken ribs and a broken leg from where she had gotten caught under a stone. Those were not injuries that would heal quickly, and there was no grantee that they would heal properly on their own.

I'm glad you liked that, Ebony I a big a** Wolf so it works and I'm not gonna lie Esme is a lazy little s**t who spends most of her time riding her familiar instead of walking so you can have lots of those scene if you want XD
As the wolf complimented Remy for her bravery against the large bear, Remy smiled a bit, a bit flustered by the praise. "Thank you, though it wasn't much." she responded with a small giggle, watching as Aria went over and knelt at the black haired witch beside the wolf. A feeling of relief came over Aria as the dark haired witch stated that it would be greatly appreciated if she were to help them once more, though Aria was more than willing to help more than just that. "It's no problem. We're always willing to help." Aria spoke with a soft voice and a small kind smile before she turned to the wolf, gently laying one of her hands onto the black fur, her other hand coming to rest on top of the other. Letting out a small breath Aria spoke quietly "Mau wel zhiag" the ancient words to rid the target of their pain. Her hands started to glow in a golden light as she continued, Remy sitting near the wolf's head.
"Shikafo shish grulki" Aria's hands brightened slightly more, the strong spell taking affect on the wolf before her. The spell took up quite a bit of energy, but the wolf had taken a lot of damage and it was very concerning for Aria. After a couple of moments, Aria let out another small breath, sitting back some and letting her hands come back into her lap a warm smile coming to her face. "There we go, you should still rest up to get your energy back though." she informed giving the wolf a gentle pet. Her eyes widened a bit as a thought struck her, "Oh, sorry, I guess I forgot to introduce ourselves." Aria giggled sheepishly. "I'm Aria Devonshire, and that's Remy." she continued, the white fox giving a small nod of greetings as Aria introduced her. Aria's emerald eyes went over to the black haired witch, "Would you mind turning around? You hurt your back, right?" Aria continued.

☾✹☽
Esme watched in wonder as the girl's hands began to glow with magic. It was so painfully familiar that she thought her head and heart were going to explode. Ebony could feel this and was about to try and get up when Esme shook her head no. When the Healer's hands grew brighter with the healing magic he mind was brought to a strange scene of another woman, who looked dangerously close to the one beside her only older, did the same to a small girl. Watching this scene unfold was like watching it through her own eyes and it hurt her head to do so but she just couldn't help it. She had lost control of her mind, and as quickly as it happened it had stopped. She barely registered the Healer talking to her familiar or the feeling of pain leaving her boy as Ebony was healed. "Thank you Healer. It is greatly appreciated." Ebony no sooner finished speaking before she passed out. She and Esme had been travelling all day before they had the run n with the Earth Witch and it had taken a toll on the Wolf who desperately needed some sleep.
Esme finally came back around when the Healer began to introduce herself. "Uh... Oh! I am Esme Fabian and that is my familiar Ebony. Thank you again for helping her." Esme rubbed her hand rather roughly through the scruff on the Wolf's neck earning a satisfied sigh from her familiar and the slight twitch of a back leg. She laughed at this. Now that her familiar was alright she could stop worrying so much. That is until Aria offered to heal her as well. She wasn't going to lie, the thought panicked her a little. And, not because she thought the girl was going to harm her, that was not the nature of any Healer, but because she thought the weird memories(?) would come back again and she didn't know how to feel about them. "I-I'm fine. I'll heal on my own event-""Stop being stubborn and let her help you can watch over us with Remy, if she agrees, while the two of us regain some of our energy." Ebony interrupted her, earning a glare from her Witch. She however did not care. Something was wrong with the Dark Witch and it was more than just physical. Ebony could feel it. "All right then. Thank you Aria. I will take you up on that offer." She turned her back as she was asked to do, and did her best to keep from fidgeting as he waited, one of her hands buried in the scruff of her familiar's neck.
"My pleasure." Aria spoke softly as the wold thanked her for caring for her injuries before passing out a moment later. Aria smiled a bit to herself, glad that she could help the familiar and that the wold hadn't argued with her about resting up for a bit. As the black haired witch spoke, Aria's attention turned onto her as she introduced herself as Esme, and her familiar, Ebony while giving the black wolf a scratch that made her leg twitch. Aria giggled lightly at this, something about it seemed familiar, but it was still cute.
Esme tried to convince the group that she was fine and didn't require any healing, which made Aria make a teasing pouting face, puffing out a cheek slightly. She was about to argue when Ebony spoke up, telling her witch to stop being so stubborn. Both Aria and Remy let out small chuckles at this, and Aria was glad that Ebony was able to convince Esme to accept the offer. As the witch turned so Aria could heal her back, Aria's attention shifted back onto Esme. Laying a gentle hand onto the other witch's back, Aria had to fight the feeling of hugging the other witch as though she would disappear if she didn't What is wrong with me? she thought to herself, but quickly pushed the thoughts aside. She spoke a soft spell "Ludrabu"which made her hand start to glow lightly as Esme's back healed. After a few moments, Aria took her hand off with a second of hesitation. "Better?" she asked with a small smile, resisting the urge to hug the black haired witch, which made her feel torn in two.
"You alright, Aria?"Remy asked sensing something was off with her witch. Aria looked at her familiar and gave a small nod, "Yeah, just a bit tired. Been a long day, you know?" she spoke, Remy giving a small nod, though knew that Aria wasn't telling her something, likely due to having others around. Aria and Remy were always very open with one another, each telling the other whenever something was up.

Esme tensed as the Healer grew closer causing Ebony to train one eye on her out of curiosity. The girl was known to hide her thoughts and feelings until she knew what they all meant and then she would talk to her familiar about them. But, this was different. Ebony could feel something in Esme's soul that was awakening with the Healer's presence. Her thought's were proven to be correct when Esme went completely ridged with Aria's touch. While Ebony contemplated what was wrong with her Witch Esme felt as if her head was being torn in two. Images of an older version of herself and the same older version of the Healer were ripping through her mind and planting themselves in her brain like a weed. The more she tried to fight it, the more of these images came through and ripped her apart until she finally just gave in. This had a much more pleasant effect, instead of ripping into her mind the images just sort of floated by until one came to the forefront of her mind. The image showed the two older versions of the Dark Witch and the Healer sitting around a small fire in the forest with two familiars who couldn't be anyone but Ebony and Aria's Remy. Though that wasn't quite right. It wasn't two older versions of them it was two separate people, yet they were them. She didn't know how she knew this, and she didn't bother to wonder as the Healer in the image lovingly tended to the wounds of the long haired Dark Witch who had the goofiest smile Esme had ever seen. It was weird seeing an older mirror of herself smile like that, almost unnerving actually. But, the way the two looked at each other awoke something in herself. It was like a hidden part of her memory was being opened u and revealed to her for the first time in centuries even though she was only the young age of seventy-two.
The images began to fade as the Healer took her hands away from her back, but the new pocket of knowledge stayed leaving her feeling disoriented. She was vaguely aware of a conversation going on behind her and the call of someone's, Ebony's?, voice calling her name a couple of times until she was being knocked onto her side. "Esme what's wrong?" The panic in Ebony's voice was extremely evident as she kept patting her front paw on Esme's face to try and get her attention. "Ebony who is she." She asked her wolf, finally looking up at her familiar as he mind cleared. The Wolf in the image was Ebony, there was no doubt about it. It wasn't uncommon for familiars to have multiple Witches as they died off but this had to have been centuries ago that all of these memories had taken place. "Who child, who is who?" The Wolf got off of the Witch and eyed her suspiciously while Esme sat up. "Aria but older. Who is she, you were there and I couldn't really tell because I don't know her that well but I think Remy was there too. What is going on?" Her voice wavered a bit as she turned to Aria. while Ebony's ears flattened against her head.

I thought I would let you choose if Remy was the one in the memory. In the story when I was writing it both familiars had been the fmiliars of the original two Witches so that's why Ebony was there but the choice is yours~
As Esme sat there silent, as if lost in thought, Aria was about to ask if she was okay when Ebony knocked the witch down, pawing at the witch's face with worry. This sent Aria into a small panic, "I- I don't know what happened... I've done this spell hundreds of times..." Aria spoke worry and fear in her voice as her gaze dropped to her lap and her hands came up to her forehead as thoughts rushed in and out of her head. Had she been to distracted by the strange familiarity of the other witch? Had she screwed up? The thought of her harming Esme made her heart drop like a rock. Feeling a soft paw rest onto her lap, Aria snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Remy, who had placed a paw onto her witch's lap to try and calm her. "Ari, it's okay. Calm down. Panicking clouds the brain." the white fox spoke in a warm, soft voice. Ari gave a small nod and took a deep breath as she picked up her familiar, bringing the fox into her lap "Right, right. Okay uhhh maybe a ummmm a condition healing spell." Aria spoke, her eyes drifting off a bit in thought as she racked her brain trying to think of which one would be useful.
Remy let out a silent sigh, glad that at lease Ari had calmed down a bit. It was unusual for Aria to panic, normally she would be calm as she healed people, not wanting for them to panic. It must have to do with the other witch, right? Remy turned her head to Ebony, a wolf that she would never forget. They had been with two witches long ago, but after the witches were executed, they had to move on to help other witches. It had been such a long time, Remy hadn't even thought about it for quite a while. Her eyes met with Ebony as the large black wolf looked over in their direction. She took a small gulp, "Ebony...what do we do now?" she asked a bit uncertain.

Ebony watched her Witch for a second as Esme attempted to grasp what was going on in her head. When Remy spoke however she couldn't help but sigh with defeat. "Remy my friend we do what we must. We tell the truth. Their memories will come back to them Hildred had always been susceptible to her own mind, it's fitting that the gift she cherished so much is what's reminding her now." The Wolf said calmly as she got up, ignoring the soreness in her muscles, and stood beside her Witch as she continued. "What is going on? Ebony what are you two talking about? Who is Hildred and what does she have to do with myself or Aria?" Esme was getting annoyed with how vague her familiar was being. She wanted answers and she wanted them now, she did not want Ebony's weird dodging of the subject that was so uncharacteristic of her. "You were Hildred my dear child. Key word were. I was her familiar long ago and Remy was Minke's. Many centuries ago when Witches were hunted Hildred and Minke were lovers who were in hiding from those who wished them dead. We all lived in a village among Humans who worshiped our Witches like goddesses, and the two loved the village dearly. They stayed there for a long time until the Hunter's got wind of the two Witches and followed the trail to the village. There was nothing that Minke or Hildred could do when they got back but nevertheless they tried because that village and the people in it were their home." Ebony paused for a second unsure of how to go on. She and Remy had seen it all and it was not a pleasant thing to experience. "They were captured and tried. Minke was to b burned at the stick while Hildred was to be beheaded, but while they were trying to light the stack under Minke she turned to Hildred who was fighting tooth and nail to get to her lover and laid a curse upon the men 'Do not worry my love, I promise to find you. It may not be our next life or the life after that, but we will be together. And, when that time comes the bloodlines of those who have wronged us today shall end and we will finally be free.' is what she said before she was engulfed in flames. Not long after they beheaded Hildred who had lost all of her fight when she lost her love." Ebony could see the shocked look on her Witch's face. She didn't even want to look over at Aria afraid that she may have broken the girl.
"You mean to tell me that we, She pointed between herself and Aria, "Are the reincarnations of two Witches that lived a long time ago and you just happen to know both of them? So what, are we finally here to live out a domestic life together? Because if you haven't noticed the world is kind of t Watcher infested for that to be a thing." Esme couldn't help but look over at the Healer to the side of her. With everything floating around her head it was easy to trick herself into thinking that she was Hildred and that Aria was her Minke. But, the Hildred in the images was to goofy and eccentric. That wasn't like Esme at all, she was very watchful ad reserved... Ok she was just relieved that Ebony was ok she was not at all scared. "Yes that is exactly it. Though I think you both met here because you wanted to solve the Watcher problem. It was very like them to try and help others even when everyone else wanted them dead... And, like it or not Esme I knew from the moment I met you as a tiny child that you were Hildred coming back to me. I don't know if it was like that for Remy but you were just to much like her as a child to have any doubts."
Remy gave a small nod as Ebony stated that it was time for the two witches to know the truth about their past lives, and was grateful when Ebony took the lead in explaining it to the two. She could feel Aria tensing up some as Ebony explained that the two witches were once close but perished at the hands of hunters. Aria hda never cared much for uncontrolled flames, camp fires and stuff were fine, but others led her to worry. To think about being burned at the steak... was terrifying and made her chest feel heavy as her eyes blurred slightly as images of their execution went through her head.
As Ebony stated that she had known Esme was the reincarnation of Hildred, Remy gave a nod of agreement, "Yeah, Ari was the same. It only took a moment for me to recognize her."Remy stated with a small smile at Ebony, before turning her gaze onto her witch, placing her head gently on Aria's chest to try and comfort her. It was a lot to take in, and with everything else going on in the world, honestly, Remy wasn't sure how well Aria would be able to take all of this, but now that the two witches have been reunited, it was only fair they knew. Aria lightly took Remy into her arms, giving the soft white fox a light hug before placing her onto the ground. Unable to find any words, Aria simply did what her heart was telling her and took Esme into a hug, a tear running down her face. It just felt right to have Esme and Ebony with them, it was comforting, like being with people you love... which in this case, she supposed was correct since their past lives had been close.
Remy walked over to Ebony, sitting down at the other familiar's side, a small smile on her face as she looked at Aria and Esme. "It's nice to all be back together again, huh Ebony"Remy spoke softly, leaning lightly into the night black fur of her friend. Remy had to admit, it was good to see Ebony again, she'd always been fond of the large wolf.
