Helena had long ago made a home for herself in an isolated, beautiful meadow. Her world consisted solely of tall grass, colorful wildflowers, a crystal clear lake, and enough surrounding wildlife to sustain a healthy diet. She rarely saw visitors, and often hid from them when she did. The shy vixen didn't particularly enjoy being alone, but had no way of communicating with others, and thus didn't often like to try.
Of course, this didn't always work. Now, weeks after a chance meeting with a sledfox, Helena found herself with two BCRs. She had to find their father. There were a number of reasons she was determined to do so. While Helena loved her children, she knew she couldn't raise both on her own. And frankly, she didn't want her kids to grow up as lonely as she was. She wanted them to be able to live with others, to make friends and communicate with them.
So she set off, having no idea where Dismas may be. All she knew was the path from which he entered her clearing and the way by which he left.

A few days into her travels, Helena rested in the shade of a tall oak tree. She was curled up with the BCRs, drifting off into a light nap. Helena hadn't really realized how difficult travelling was, as she certainly wasn't used to it. She knew nothing of the surrounding area and thus feared straying too far away from her supply of fresh water and not knowing where to find food. Helena wasn't cut out for this, and doubts of ever finding that sledfox again filled her mind. She truly wanted to see him again and show him his children, but the world was vast and wholly unfamiliar. Even if she was capable of adapting to this more nomadic lifestyle, there was no guarantee that Helena and Dismas would ever meet again.
Helena awoke in the late afternoon. Disappointed in herself, she turned back towards home. She estimated that it would take another two days to return, but by the time those two days were over, absolutely nothing looked familiar to her. The vixen was completely lost. Everything was just forest in the surrounding areas, with no distinguishing features. She wasn't even beside a river anymore, having left it when she thought she was close enough to home. In need of rest, Helena curled up on the ground again, unsure of what she would do once she woke up.
