Cassiopeia's View and we will never stop looking

"Day-day!" Ran cried as day-day suddenly turned away and left. "No no!" she called out after him as she stumbled after him on three legs, but she was unable to keep up. She was slow, having only begun to learn to walk on her three legs; too slow. She strumbled and fell multiple times but Ran just kept lifting her tiny body up again, on shaking limbs from all the walking she'd already done. Her fur was dusty and dirty and her legs felt like breaking but she had to find day-day again! Where'd he gone?

After running for an hour she still couldn't find him anywhere and Ran didn't know where she was and she was beginning to grow colder and hungrier rapidly. She'd fallen down a few slopes, fur ruffled and looking like a child of the wild by now. Her crippled left front leg poked forward at a weird angle, the single-toed-leg dangling there uselessly. She wailed loudly into the night, unknowingly not too far from someone who had their ears piqued for a sound.
