Redhawk Caldera sokea sisar

Thanks for replying!  Sorry for my slowness in getting back to you.  Had some stuff going on this past week.  :)

As she walked, her eyes followed the movement of her paws.  Jet-black and shiny, perfect little toes each with a tiny claw poking out at the end.  She watched how the joints moved, how the soft, subtle muscles beneath her fur shifted...and found herself wondering what her toes looked like on the inside.  She'd seen the inside of someone's head.  The red, dripping strings of flesh that hung out...did she have those inside her feet?  If someone were to tear her paws open, would she see glints of white bone peeking out from beneath the gore?

As if to extinguish the macabre thoughts that ran rampant through her mind, she plunged her toes into the tiny stream she followed, splashing and kicking water with each step.  Sunlight glittered on each cascading droplet and for a moment, she imagined they were stars.  It almost brought a smile to her face.  

She caught a glimpse of her own reflection in the water that trickled around her ankles and she stared for a long moment.  The face that looked back at her was much older...was it her in the future?  But the eyes were wrong.  Her parents had told her that her eyes were yellow.  The eyes that gazed back at her were blue like the afternoon sky.  There was something familiar about it...she almost felt as if she'd seen that face before.  She blinked, though, and the image was gone.  She stood there, confused, until a soft voice broke the silence and she looked up to see Pantaleimon standing nearby.

Although she didn't know Pan all that well, she liked him.  There was something about his quiet, sensitive personality that Raven was drawn to, so when she saw that it was Pan who had greeted her, Raven smiled and wagged her tail.  "Hi! she called back, resuming her splashing in the brook.
