Hoshor Plains I never met someone like you

It was only when morning came that Pala was faced with the reality of her situation. She was traveling, with two pups, to a destination she had never been to for a pack whom she had only met a single member of. But then again, there was nowhere else to go.

Settling in the shade of a lone tree she decided it was time for a well earned break. She had been travelling since the night with one pup held in her jaws and the other over her back, interchangeably. They were far more mobile now, but not so much that Pala could let them walk themselves. They would simply never keep up.

Giving each son a lick to the tops of their heads, she looked out upon the flatlands, to the mountains she had come from, and then the mountain she was to walk towards. Once she would have been there by sunrise, but her cargo was too precious to risk this time.

Kirain and @Lestan had only recently entered the flatlands, a vast, unfamiliar expanse brimming with possibility. Though their main objective was to find Wake, she couldn’t suppress the curiosity bubbling within her. Every new place was an opportunity, an invitation to explore the world in all its wonder.

They had been traveling westward through the night, pausing only for necessities, or, in Kirain’s case, the enticing prospect of chamomile. She was so engrossed in her search for the delicate white flowers that she failed to notice the presence of others or even the growing distance between her and her companion.

Nose to the ground, she wove through the tall grass, keenly sniffing for the herb’s familiar scent. A soft hum escaped her as she worked, her tail swaying idly behind her, lost in the quiet delight of the task.

In her gaze over the territories exapanse the sight of a tail weaving above the grass instinctively pulled a growl from her throat. She fixed her eyes to the movement, body growing tense.

As muscles moved for Pala to stand she felt the sting of a cut on her shoulder; large and scabbing, a souvenir from Chaudry. There were more, yes, but this one she was sure would scar. Pup's squirming around her legs and barking up at her, she hoped that if this stranger planned to bite it would not be quite so hard.

A growl cut through the air, freezing Kirain mid-step. Her ears perked as she lifted her head, silver eyes scanning the surroundings in search of the source. Then, her gaze landed on the she-wolf.

Instantly, her face lit up with a grin. Her tail wagged eagerly as she called out, Hello! Isn’t it a lovely day? Any sense of caution melted away in her excitement. Without hesitation, she trotted toward Pala, eager to greet what she hoped would be a new friend.
