Horizon Ridge What remains

Shaking her fur, it settled back into place as she stopped for a moment. The heaviness had lifted somewhat, the events of the past few weeks now in the back of her mind. She still had a fam-...a group of wolves who accepted her, and she was determined not to mess it up again. Picking her way through the rubble and dried up tidepools, she was thankful for the silence. The breeze was warm, and the only sound was the intermittent chirping of birds. Taking a deep breath, she shook again, some of the tension falling from her as she then stretched and started trotting.

It was a good feeling that fell over her, and her tiny paws were light over the ground. Gaining speed, a sound of happiness fell from her lips as her small frame seemed to dance over the stark landscape. She ran, loving the feeling of the wind through her fur. After a bit, she slowed, her breath a bit shallow. Her fur was now fluffed out, and she sat down and started smoothing it down, a look of peace on her features.
