Whitefish River Come Back Home

@Grayday <3

What had drawn her away from her friends and family, she did not know. The thirst for adventure didn't drive her, no threat or danger made her feel like escaping, no personal vendettas were made against her or the EH wolves - so why did she leave? She had left everything valuable to her behind; what did she even earn from leaving? A few new scars, horrific stories to share with deaf ears, a sob story? She was a joke, a pathetic wolf who gave up on everything she loved with all of her heart. Yet here she was, in a land that was once familiar to her, in a land she once called hers, in a land where sweet memories were made and were put to rest. 

Hunched over and slouching, the lone femme sat by the riverside. She watched as the water ran down, carrying little bits of dead leaves in twigs on top of the clean surface. Krypton looked gaunt, perhaps not to the naked eye, but to those who knew her big stature before. Her skeleton didn't she, so that was at least something positive to think about. But her fat had gone down with her constant travel back home. Her fur was thick at least, providing an okay amount of warmth to her cold body. Her irises of mottled green and yellow stared down into the river water, not sure what to do or where to go. 

The sun had already set behind the mountains she remembered living in and passing through. She remained in the dark where only the wind and snow could comfort her. She didn't even bother trying to go and find shelter, she would die eventually if she didn't put weight on, and the likeliness of that happening quickly enough was slim to none. She had many regrets in her lift, but at least she wouldn't burden anyone. 

A sad whine left her as her front legs crumbled underneath her and she laid down by the river, being lulled by the sounds of the running water.
