Let's just say I never planned for this to happen. Falling into random portals aren't really my thing, but when Young Time Tot's are learning...just sometimes they don't have control. So here I am defiantly not in my human or dragon like forms. The world I am in transformed me into a wolf. I am not sure where this path will lead me, but I have formed my own pack. Beautiful wolves that stand by my side, me their Alpha. For years this is how it was, for years I was a wolf before I was even found by my family. I chose this life to stay as a wolf. Yet I was allowed to return home finally with my pack by my side.

Resituating back in my homeworld was a difficult and lengthy process. Although nearly a decade passed in the other world since my arrival, only two or so years have passed here in my homeworld. My parents were shocked to see their lost son, now made near impossible to recognize with age and wolf-like features, walk through a portal flanked by wolves.

They had almost given up on finding an answer. They searched for a solution for years, until almost all hope was lost. It wasn't until another accident just like the first occurred that I was brought back, this time with my pack.

My father was wary of my packmates. He didn't understand my wolf instincts and was convinced I was being manipulated by them. It makes sense with his past of unrelenting survival to be wary of all newcomers, but I wish he would trust my judgement. He will have to come around or I will be forced to move myself and my pack away.

My mother was much more accepting, but that was true about pretty much anything. She is a very "go with the flow" kind of person. She was raised by her single gay dad and she was his first child. They grew up together and although he was inexperienced, my grandfather still managed to raise my mom to be accepting of anything and anyone, including me and my pack.

Unlike my father, my mother was able to accept that she wouldn't understand my wolf instincts, but also took steps to care for my pack and make them feel welcome. She was delighted to meet her descendants while my father barely acknowledged their existences. Hopefully he will have a change of heart soon. I want to be able to meet my younger siblings.

Unsurprisingly, my twin brother Mordecai had the hardest time adjusting to my return. Suddenly having your twin back but now he's several years older than you and is unexpectedly wolf-like does not a good reunion make. To be fair, I also had a shock upon return. My near-identical twin had changed into a chunky Obelisk while I was gone. While it was hard for him to adjust, Mordecai was also the only one of my family to ask to join my pack. After debating with my packmates, he was accepted with open arms although he is not a wolf.

Even though the transition back to my homeworld is a little hairy at the moment, I have every faith that it will all work out in the end.
