Arrow Lake home to her

she picked her way along the frozen muskeg, slabs of ice and splintered boulders slowing her progress. in the distance the scintillating surface of a half froze-over lake simmered, pale and lackluster moonlight reflecting off of its dulled surface. it had been her strange emotions that brought her so far from the cusps of the valley -- lost in thought over everything that had transpired from her heat to her sister's surprising union with xan, indra had not realized how many miles she had put under her heels. thirsty and a little tired from her jaunt she made for the banks at casual lope.

when she came within several meters of the spanning shore an inkblot spilled over the murky ground and she paused as her eyes fell on a figure with its head bent skyward. her hackles rifled slightly and her heart beat in trepidation, but it was too late to alter her course. he likely would have heard the scatter of snow under her feet. swallowing back any fear indra strode as confidently as she could manage to the water and bent down to lap at its surface, her amber eyes trained on the wolf warily.
