(I said I wasn't going to bring her back, but man, nostalgia kicks butt sometimes....anywaaaays she's back!)
A ragged, frail-looking tortoiseshell walked slowly, golden eyes glowing with unmistakable sadness.
Paratrooper took a deep breath, quietly padding along, only to stop in her tracks when she could smell the border. To be quite honest, it felt strange coming back to her old home. If she could even call it her 'old' home, really; it would be a strange and foreign land to her, just as all the cats would probably be. She had no idea if her kids were alive, if her friends were alive, if her father or any of her siblings were alive....and if Magni was alive. Thinking the name 'Magni' made Paratrooper's heart break into even more pieces; her old mate had suffered through so much in his life, and what had she done? She had up and disappeared, came back, and then simply disappeared again. Given her age, she wasn't holding out the highest hopes of her old love being alive; she had come to terms with that, but it stung knowing that she'd more than likely never get to apologize. She didn't even know what happened to him after she disappeared. Regardless, she dug her paws into the ground, calling out to no one in particular.
"Hello? Is anyone here?"
