Short filmTranscript
00:00I have three handsome and dashing husbands.
00:06Everyone in the kingdom knew I was the female, spoiled badly by her mates.
00:11The finest food, the softest pelts, yet I snapped at them over nothing.
00:16I did as I pleased, for I was loved.
00:20And I knew it.
00:22Then a stranger she-wolf came to the kingdom.
00:25Where I was sharp and difficult, she was warm and bright.
00:30And every male noticed.
00:32Within days, un-mated males lingered outside her door, falling over themselves to do her favors.
00:38Yet she leaned on no one.
00:40She raised her pup alone and built a life from nothing.
00:46Gradually, my first mate Kale found me unbearable.
00:51When he left, the other two stood at my side and raged on my behalf.
00:55This is your choice, Kale! Don't you dare come crawling back to Sierra later!
00:59Not long after, my second mate Red left too.
01:02I looked at Zane and felt my throat tighten.
01:04Zane, do you think I have a bad temper too?
01:07He ruffled my hair.
01:08Stop overthinking it. They're the ones who don't know what they have.
01:10Then one evening, I watched him shift into tiger form and trail close behind Lyra.
01:15Head low, eyes soft, silently begging her to touch him.
01:19I turned and ran, stumbling all the way to my father's hall.
01:22Dad, cancel this election. I'll marry into the Murr clan.
01:26Have you lost your mind? That's the Murr clan.
01:29Every other female prays not to be chosen and you're volunteering to go?
01:34My eyes stung as I twisted the hem of my dress tightly.
01:37The Murr clan had no females of their own.
01:40Each year, they relied on marriages with land clans to continue their bloodline.
01:44Unlike land males, Murr males were powerful, but fiercely possessive.
01:48They never shared their mates with anyone. Yet, no female wanted to live on those damp, cold islands.
01:53Did they do something to you again?
01:56Don't! Dad, please, don't! Please stop fighting for me!
02:01When Kale and Red left, I'd run to him in tears.
02:04That Omega, Lyra, had been moved farther and farther away, but they still never came back.
02:08The coldness in their eyes when they left still made me tremble.
02:11Tiara, stop bullying others. Lyra did nothing wrong, yet you nearly got her driven out.
02:15Without your father's crown, what exactly do you have?
02:17I can't believe I ever loved someone like you.
02:19That night, I clung to Zane, the only one who stayed, and cried until I passed out.
02:23But now, even he was gone.
02:26In the silence, Dad let out a long sigh.
02:28You are my only daughter, Ciara. I hate to let you go so far away, but I can't bear to
02:33see you wronged either.
02:34The selection is in three days. Think it over and come back to me, okay?
02:39I stepped out of the King's Hall.
02:42Zane was waiting outside.
02:43He leaned against the doorpost, held a small yellow flower, staring at it quietly.
02:51I knew that flower.
02:55He'd begged it from Lyra earlier, tail wagging.
03:01When he saw me, he hid the flower.
03:06His eyes curved into a smile.
03:08Ciara?
03:10I wiped my eyes and walked straight past him.
03:14Ciara, where are you going?
03:15I didn't answer.
03:17I didn't look back.
03:19After a few steps, the footsteps behind me stopped.
03:23I spun around sharply.
03:25Zane stood far away.
03:26He frowned, carefully protecting the small yellow flower from the wind.
03:31My heart skipped a beat.
03:32I shouted at him angrily.
03:34Zane!
03:35Why aren't you coming?
03:36Clanmates nearby turned to stare.
03:41He only lifted his eyes slightly.
03:43The sunset stretched his shadow long.
03:46Panic rose in my chest.
03:48I stamped my foot, gritted my teeth, and started toward him.
03:52But then he spoke.
03:56Ciara, after today, I won't be walking you home anymore.
04:02He turned and walked towards Lyra's house.
04:06Winter was coming, and I was standing outside in a thin layer of clothing,
04:10pale as I watched Zane step out.
04:14The chamber was empty.
04:15The fire Zane lit that morning still crackled.
04:18I tried to add wood, but a spark burned my hand.
04:20A sting that made me almost pout until reality hit.
04:24No one was here to care for me anymore.
04:26My nails dug into my palms.
04:27I jumped up and ran outside.
04:29Every step echoed my panic.
04:31Finally, I knocked on that door, messy and breathless.
04:33But it wasn't Zane who answered.
04:35Kale froze when he saw me.
04:37His eyes scanned my wounds,
04:38and an unfamiliar emotion flickered across his face.
04:41What are you doing here?
04:42He was my first bonded mate.
04:44When he was still beside me,
04:46he'd scold me for running recklessly,
04:47for getting hurt.
04:48Then follow me, clean up every mess I left behind.
04:51He never held back his sharp words,
04:53but after each cold look,
04:54his thumb brushed away my tears.
04:56His clumsy kisses igniting warmth
04:58I pretended not to feel.
05:00I didn't meet his gaze.
05:01Instead, I stared anxiously inside.
05:03Kale's hand on the door tightened.
05:05He let out a cold laugh,
05:06a shiver in the air.
05:07Zane looks like you didn't clean up well enough.
05:09She followed the trail straight here.
05:11What if Lyra finds out?
05:13Winter was coming,
05:14and I stood outside,
05:16pale and trembling.
05:17The wind cut into my skin like shards of ice
05:19as I watched Zane step out.
05:21His clothes were messy,
05:23hair disheveled,
05:24a fresh bite mark stark against his neck.
05:26He glanced impatiently at Kale,
05:28then at me.
05:28Irritation flared in his eyes,
05:30sending chills down my spine.
05:32I stepped back involuntarily.
05:35Suddenly,
05:35a warm blanket enveloped me.
05:37I looked up.
05:37Kale's jaw was tight,
05:39tense.
05:39Zane stepped in front of me,
05:41his familiar, gentle look returning.
05:43Sierra?
05:44What happened to you?
05:45Zane, I...
05:46I won't beg for those little red preps
05:47from beyond the mountains anymore.
05:49I won't complain that your fur isn't soft enough.
05:51I won't cling to you and chatter when you're tired.
05:54I'll only have you as my mate from now on.
05:56I don't want anyone else.
05:57Please don't leave me alone, okay?
06:00Oblivious to Kale's darkening expression beside me,
06:03Zane listened,
06:03but his gaze drifted to my scraped, bleeding knees.
06:07You promised you'd stay with me forever.
06:10Zane, you can't break your word.
06:12I...
06:12But I grabbed only air.
06:15Zane pulled his hand away.
06:16It's cold outside.
06:17Let's go in first, all right?
06:19The room was warm.
06:20I sank into a fur-padded wooden chair,
06:23everything neat and inviting.
06:24The walls were smooth
06:25and firewood stacked in the corner.
06:27I thought of my cold, neglected room.
06:29The roof leak remained,
06:31firewood only chopped when it ran out.
06:33On chilly days, I dared not complain,
06:35afraid I'd be a burden.
06:36I snuck into his arms,
06:37trembling, scared he'd leave too.
06:40Muffled voices drifted from the next room.
06:42Going soft on her?
06:44I'm warning you.
06:45If you regret this,
06:46don't think about coming back.
06:48No.
06:48I just don't want her running to the king,
06:50crying again and causing trouble for Lyra.
06:51She's easy to handle.
06:53My mind went blank.
06:55Kale laughed softly.
06:57Footsteps receded.
06:58Then someone knelt before me.
07:00Zane dabbed my bleeding knees with a cloth.
07:02Sierra, I'm Lyra's mate now.
07:04You're the king's daughter.
07:06Every good male in this kingdom would line up for you.
07:08Paused, smiled faintly.
07:10Didn't you always say you'd throw us out
07:11and find someone better?
07:12Those were just angry words, weren't they?
07:14Why had he never cared before,
07:16but taken them seriously now?
07:18I looked at him through blurred eyes,
07:20shaking my head repeatedly.
07:22I didn't mean it.
07:23Zane noticed the tears in my eyes.
07:25His expression hardened,
07:26but carefully,
07:27he reached out,
07:28wiped them away,
07:29and patted my head once.
07:31Then, he stood in silence,
07:33moving to get water and medicine.
07:34A crash.
07:35Something heavy hit me hard.
07:37I turned to find Lyra's pup behind me.
07:40Bad person!
07:41You hurt my mama!
07:44Get out!
07:45I threw my arm up instinctively,
07:46but splashing water flew back.
07:48Boiling drops hit his bare calves and hands.
07:51The cub froze,
07:52then screamed.
07:53The front door swung open.
07:54A gust of cold air hit me,
07:56then a firm grip seized my neck.
07:57Bullying Lyra isn't enough.
07:59You even come here to bully a cub?
08:01Sierra,
08:02you never run out of tricks,
08:03do you?
08:04Red's departure was the harshest of all.
08:06Because of my desperate pleas to King Aldrich,
08:08Lyra almost faced expulsion.
08:10And yet,
08:11Red stepped forward silently,
08:13volunteering for the deadliest border patrol in the kingdom,
08:15where no one could ever survive.
08:17He risked his life for Lyra and her pup's right to stay.
08:20The last look he gave me?
08:22Ice cold.
08:25I was stupid.
08:28The greatest regret of my life
08:30is ever putting you above everything else.
08:34I couldn't understand it.
08:35Betrayed first,
08:37yet they spoke with such honor.
08:39But my grip weakened with every second.
08:41Tears blurred my vision.
08:43When I finally looked at him,
08:44there was nothing left in my eyes but gray.
08:47Red's pupils contracted.
08:49Panic flared.
08:50He saw I was choking and let go quickly.
08:52I fell hard,
08:53bent over,
08:54barely able to breathe.
08:58Zane rushed toward me,
08:59but just as he tried to pull me close,
09:01Lyra pushed the door open.
09:02He instinctively pushed me farther away.
09:05I rolled back,
09:06my body numb with pain,
09:08the world spinning around me.
09:10Kale stepped forward instinctively,
09:12then froze.
09:14Red's eyebrow rose at Zane.
09:16Didn't you say you'd protect Sierra forever?
09:19Why are you here too?
09:20Cruel smile spread across his face.
09:23Ah, so you can't stand her either!
09:27Funny how all three of us always end up wanting the same female.
09:31His gaze dropped to me,
09:32a short,
09:33contemptuous laugh escaping him.
09:35Zane's eyes darkened.
09:36He met my begging gaze,
09:38hesitated,
09:38and looked away.
09:39I forgot how to breathe,
09:40frozen in place.
09:41Your arm.
09:42All eyes shifted to my forearm.
09:44Expecting tears,
09:45they saw silence instead.
09:47I stood up on my own.
09:48I looked at Lyra.
09:50Her eyes curved like water.
09:52Even in midwinter,
09:53she could coax precious vegetables from poor soil.
09:56Perhaps in this kingdom,
09:57no one disliked her except me.
09:59Maybe I was too abnormal.
10:01Lyra patted her sobbing cub.
10:03Boy,
10:04you did something wrong.
10:05Apologize to Sierra,
10:06okay?
10:07The pup buried his face in her neck.
10:09He's still small.
10:10He got scared.
10:11Let me apologize on his behalf.
10:12I have good burn ointment there.
10:13I'll get it right away.
10:14No.
10:15Silence fell.
10:15All eyes on me.
10:16I want him to apologize.
10:18Lyra's smile faded,
10:19her brow creasing with worry.
10:21He's just a pup.
10:23Asking him right now might be...
10:25Apologize.
10:26Sierra!
10:27Red stepped sharply in front of Lyra and the pup,
10:29his face darkening.
10:30Why are you picking on a child?
10:32Lyra already apologized.
10:34Do you want to make him cry to be satisfied?
10:36Kale said nothing.
10:37His furrowed brows volumes.
10:38Even Zane shook his head gently.
10:40The three beasts who once belonged to me
10:42now stood against me.
10:44Lyra touched Red's sleeve
10:45and whispered something to the pup.
10:47He finally turned, muttering,
10:50Sorry.
10:51Mumbled, reluctant, wronged.
10:53Yet the scowls remained.
10:55Lyra looked at me,
10:56apology written across her face.
10:58Sierra,
10:58the burn can't wait.
10:59I'll help you treat it first.
11:01I'll help you treat it first.
11:02She turned to fetch the medicine.
11:03I felt icy all over,
11:05unable to stand.
11:06No need.
11:07The words fell in a rush.
11:08Before hearing a response,
11:10I slammed the door shut,
11:11stumbling into the biting wind.
11:17Made up your mind?
11:18I nodded quietly,
11:19saying nothing.
11:20After that night,
11:21I locked myself in my chambers
11:22for two full days.
11:24It's a long way to the southern shore.
11:26We leave tonight.
11:28Pack whatever you want to bring.
11:29I shook my head with a bitter smile.
11:31I don't want to take anything.
11:33The night before the selection,
11:34every unmated female in the kingdom
11:36tossed and turned,
11:37consumed with fear,
11:38terrified of being the bride
11:39chosen for the Mare Clan.
11:41Word spread quickly
11:42that I had seen the king.
11:43Soon, someone knocked,
11:45shattering the brief silence.
11:47What did you say to the chief this?
11:48Zane and Kale followed closely
11:50behind Red into the room,
11:51their gazes fixed on the clothes
11:53and items scattered all over the floor.
11:55Their pupils constricted,
11:56steps coming to a complete halt.
11:59What will you do?
12:01Kill me?
12:03The room fell into a deathly silence.
12:06Zane stepped forward,
12:07and cautiously,
12:08Sarah, stop being stubborn.
12:10Just tell us,
12:11what did you say to the king?
12:12Asking myself,
12:13would they believe me if I explained?
12:15Would they want me to stay?
12:17After thinking for a long time,
12:19only two words remained in my heart.
12:21No.
12:22Yes, I want to drive Lyra away.
12:24I, the three of them,
12:25froze in place instantly.
12:26I hate that she took you from me.
12:29So I went to beg my dad.
12:31I told him,
12:33as long as Lyra stays in this kingdom,
12:35I'll make trouble every day,
12:38making everyone unable to live in peace.
12:41Sierra!
12:42How dare you?
12:43I dare!
12:44My father has always doted on me the most,
12:46hasn't he?
12:47Since I was little,
12:49as long as I cried and begged,
12:52he'd agree to anything.
12:53The king won't act on your word alone.
12:59You'll find out tomorrow morning.
13:01All three left with dark faces.
13:03Father was already waiting by the carriage.
13:06His eyes were bloodshot.
13:07He draped a thick fur coat over my shoulders.
13:10Medicine inside,
13:11and food,
13:12and everything else you'll need.
13:14The coast is humid.
13:17Take care of yourself.
13:18I climbed onto the carriage
13:19and glanced back at the kingdom
13:21one last time in the morning light.
13:23When I turned around again,
13:25there was nothing but determination in my eyes.
13:28I will.
13:29They hadn't walked far
13:30before Red's guilt flooded in.
13:33Did I go too far just now?
13:36The question came out of nowhere.
13:38Don't look at me like that.
13:40I thought her behavior was weird just now.
13:42He recalled her room,
13:44cold and gloomy like an underground cellar.
13:47The messy floor everywhere,
13:49and her lifeless expression.
13:51Did we take this too far?
13:53He voiced what everyone thought,
13:55but dared not say.
13:56Red exploded with rage
13:58and started venting his anger on the tree.
14:00This is all your fault!
14:02You said we had to make Sierra chair us
14:04and grow independent,
14:05so we acted this play,
14:07and you made me be the villain!
14:09He stared at his own hands,
14:11unable to bear thinking
14:12about what he had done.
14:13What if she hates me forever?
14:16The question struck all three of them
14:18deep inside.
14:19The selection is tomorrow.
14:21Every young woman must attend.
14:23What if Sierra gets chosen?
14:24I have to go find her now.
14:28Zane grabbed Red's arm.
14:30The king will never allow
14:32his own daughter to be chosen.
14:33What if you do?
14:36I don't care anymore!
14:38We're the done the way
14:38you found Tamari.
14:40This has to end tomorrow.
14:41I quit if it goes on like this.
14:43The tense atmosphere
14:45eased slightly.
14:46Red, you've been gone for a while.
14:48It's your turn to help Lyra
14:49test her new medicine tonight.
14:51On the surface,
14:52they made me Lyra's partner.
14:54But in reality,
14:55they just wanted her
14:56to act in this play.
14:57Lyra's condition was simple.
14:59They took turns
15:00testing her medicine.
15:01Her understanding of treatment
15:03was beyond that
15:04of the royal physicians.
15:05He had even been researching
15:06fever-reducing medicine.
15:08On this continent,
15:09a fever could easily
15:10take the life of a cub.
15:12It was a more terrifying
15:13shadow than any beast.
15:15To get stable test subjects,
15:17Lyra agreed to this deal.
15:18However,
15:19just as the three of them
15:20thought their plan
15:21was foolproof,
15:22Layla spoke up.
15:23You want her to become
15:24stronger and cherish
15:25what she has.
15:26I understand that.
15:27But from her perspective,
15:29it might make her feel
15:30like all the people
15:31she trusts most
15:32have pushed her
15:33off the same cliff together.
15:35I don't mind
15:36playing my part.
15:38But are you sure
15:39you've thought this through?
15:40At that time,
15:41none of them really listened.
15:42The result was obvious.
15:43The morning of the selection
15:44had barely touched the sky.
15:46Red spotted a figure
15:47crouched by the door
15:48from afar.
15:48As he approached,
15:49he's a dude
15:50dampened his hair.
15:51He looked up at the sound
15:52of footsteps,
15:53eyes bloodshot.
15:55You waited out here
15:56all night?
15:57Zane said nothing,
15:58only nodded toward the side
15:59where a neat pile
16:00of firewood lay.
16:01Kale caught up,
16:02frowning.
16:03You snuck out in the middle
16:04of the night to chop wood?
16:05Zane's voice was rough,
16:06quiet.
16:08I couldn't sleep.
16:09Red stared,
16:10conflicted and annoyed.
16:12So you're the only hero here,
16:13sneaking around
16:14to do favors?
16:15I didn't go in.
16:17I just
16:19chopped some wood.
16:20Regret burned in his chest.
16:22If only he'd chopped
16:23enough wood before yesterday.
16:24Kale held Red back.
16:25Enough.
16:27Right now,
16:27the only thing that matters
16:28is finding Sierra
16:29and telling her the truth.
16:30The three of them
16:31stood at the door,
16:32frozen in place.
16:36Fine.
16:37I'll do it.
16:41Sierra?
16:42Are you awake?
16:42Silence.
16:43Twice more.
16:44A bad feeling crept over them.
16:46They exchanged a glance
16:47and threw the door open.
16:49The room was a mess,
16:50just as last night.
16:52A rabbit fur vest lay alone,
16:54dusty,
16:55discarded like trash.
16:56The stove was cold,
16:57the water jar full.
16:58Nothing missing,
16:59yet everything gone.
17:00Zane's gaze fell on
17:01worm-eaten red berries,
17:03tiny bite marks.
17:04His heart dropped.
17:06He stepped forward,
17:07knocking over the basket.
17:08A rotten,
17:09sickening smell
17:10filled the air.
17:11Every berry bore two bites,
17:12like she hated it,
17:13yet had no choice.
17:15Kale grabs Zane's shoulder.
17:16I've been wanting to ask
17:17since before we came in.
17:18The hearth was cold!
17:20The food tray hadn't been touched
17:22and you just,
17:22you just left?
17:23You left her here alone,
17:25in the cold,
17:26eating this?
17:27Zane's lips quivered,
17:28words failing.
17:29He'd assumed she'd go
17:30to find her father
17:31without food or fire,
17:32never imagining she'd stay here,
17:34eating these berries.
17:35If I'd known,
17:36I would've stayed.
17:37I should've been the last one.
17:40Zane sank to the ground,
17:41pale,
17:42watching Kale tear the room apart.
17:44Tear the room apart like a madman.
17:48A drop of water fell through the roof's hole,
17:51landing before Kale.
17:52Red,
17:52usually fiercest,
17:53was silent,
17:54despair flashing in his eyes at the berries.
17:56Then,
17:57outside,
17:57a horn blared.
17:58The square was already crowded.
18:01Unmated females stood gathered together,
18:03tense and quiet.
18:04Their families and friends
18:05pressed close on all sides.
18:06The three of them pushed through the crowd,
18:08searching for one familiar face.
18:10Once,
18:11twice,
18:11she was nowhere.
18:12Cold sweat broke across Zane's forehead.
18:15He grabbed the arm of a female he knew.
18:16You've seen Sierra?
18:17She shook her head.
18:18No.
18:19Don't you three look after her.
18:20The words hit him like a slap.
18:22He let go of her arm without a word.
18:24Another female nearby tugged at her sleeve and whispered,
18:27Did you forget?
18:28Sierra doesn't have mates anymore?
18:30Those three mates already.
18:32She gestured with her eyes.
18:34The other female understood at once and smiled awkwardly at Zane.
18:38Kale rushed to my dad,
18:39King Aldrich,
18:40his voice urgent.
18:41Your majesty!
18:42Where is Sierra?
18:43Have you seen-
18:44My dad turned at the words,
18:45his gaze sweeping over the three of them.
18:47His expression was perfectly flat.
18:50Sierra is not here.
18:52All three of them paled.
18:54Red's voice came out broken.
18:57Then where did she go?
18:59My dad didn't answer him.
19:01He turned to face the gathered crowd.
19:03People of this kingdom,
19:05I have called you here to make an announcement.
19:08A murmur erupted from the crowd.
19:10There is a woman who has volunteered and settled for saying.
19:18What?
19:18Who would be so foolish?
19:20Is she out of her mind?
19:22That's the Murr clan.
19:23The voices broke over each other,
19:25getting louder.
19:26The answer was already forming in the air before anyone said it.
19:29But all three of them stood there,
19:31as if they still couldn't make themselves believe it.
19:33Impossible!
19:34Who?
19:35Who is it?
19:35Dad's gaze moved to the three of them,
19:37hollow-eyed,
19:38falling apart where they stood.
19:40It was not anger.
19:41It was disappointment.
19:42My daughter.
19:43Sierra.
19:45Kale reacted first,
19:46sprinting out of the square.
19:48Red and Zane followed close behind.
19:49They burst through the kingdom gates,
19:51racing down the path to the outside.
19:53The cold wind slapped their faces.
19:55Zane shifted,
19:56his stride,
19:57tiger form blurring into full speed,
19:59but faltered after a few steps.
20:01Legs weak,
20:02he leaned on his knees,
20:04gasping for air.
20:05Tears hit the dirt.
20:07Kale stopped beside him,
20:08staring at the winding path vanishing into the mountains.
20:11It's too late.
20:12She left last night.
20:13We can't catch her.
20:18Why?
20:19We only wanted her to...
20:21We just wanted her to...
20:23They had only wanted the spoiled,
20:24headstrong girl to feel loss,
20:26to learn not to take everything for granted,
20:28to make her understand they mattered,
20:31that losing them would hurt,
20:33to make her love them more.
20:35But they forgot.
20:37They were the ones who had spoiled her.
20:40They had given indulgence,
20:41preference,
20:42making her think the world revolved around her.
20:45Then, suddenly,
20:46they took it all away,
20:47telling her,
20:48you're wrong.
20:50You're too bad.
20:51We don't want you like this.
20:57Alone on the road to the Arctic Circle,
21:00my only companions were a child in a fading memory.
21:04Want some water?
21:05The little mermaid blew a bubble,
21:07dragged himself over to hug my leg,
21:09listless.
21:10Mama,
21:11don't want to leave you.
21:12Tail hurts.
21:14Three years since I left the kingdom,
21:16I'd become a mother for the first time,
21:18all my sharp edges had long been smoothed,
21:20softening.
21:21Suddenly,
21:21strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
21:23A faint sea salt scent lingered.
21:25Caspin leaned close,
21:26a little wronged.
21:27Not that I've forgotten.
21:27You have three males waiting for you up north.
21:29I never hid my past.
21:31The Sea Clan's possessiveness was truly well-deserved.
21:33But I never thought he'd insist on bringing the cub,
21:36wanting to go back north with me.
21:38If you two hadn't followed,
21:39I wouldn't have to take care of you both.
21:41I would have been at the kingdom days ago.
21:43My fault entirely.
21:45The thought of being trapped on that island,
21:47even with him,
21:48made my chest tight.
21:49But Sierra,
21:50if you'd asked me to wait on the island,
21:52I'd go crazy.
21:53My face blushed instantly.
21:56Beside us,
21:57Cove had grabbed a fistful of Caspin's deep blue wavy hair,
22:01and was tugging at it with cheerful curiosity.
22:05The carriage rocked.
22:07We were almost at the northern kingdom.
22:10Caspian and Cove couldn't be far from water for long.
22:12I found a clear stream not far from the kingdom.
22:16After settling the anxious my husband and son,
22:19I went to the gate alone.
22:21The young guard at the gate didn't recognize me.
22:23He looked over the MerClan clothes in confusion,
22:25as if he wanted to question me.
22:27Then an older guard leaned out from behind him,
22:29took one look at my face,
22:31and went wide-eyed.
22:32Sierra?
22:33You're back?
22:34His shout turned several nearby heads.
22:36It really is her.
22:37She's back?
22:39Didn't she go to the MerClan?
22:40She looks...
22:41different, somehow.
22:43I greeted them and walked toward Dad's hall.
22:46Dad had already heard the news.
22:48He walked out and bumped into me head-on.
22:50His eyes went red almost immediately.
22:53Sierra?
22:54Is that my Sierra?
22:55Holding back tears,
22:56I rushed forward and hugged his hunched body tightly.
23:00Dad's arms held me tightly.
