Return To Freedom
Emma was not going to return to the wild easily, however, given how traumatized she had been when Erikas originally found her. Getting her to join her kin was not going to be a walk in the park. Erikas was insistent that she regain her natural confidence and status, however. There was no fighting her better instincts. He was unsurprised when his initial attempts to return her to the woods resulted in huge performances from Emma.

Ease Her In
Reluctantly, Emma began transitioning back into the wild, all with Erikas’ gentle hand guiding her along. To his fatherly credit, Erikas helped Emma differentiate between threatening and safe places and things. Further, he showed her how to eat without worrying too much. Emma was soon on her way toward being a brave and independent animal, rather than the scared and fragile being she had been reduced to. What wonderful progress!
