Totoka River So this is it....

Just pull up your legs and paddle, he said. Like it would be as easy as that. Potema was a land wolf, no, a forest wolf, at heart. The water sources she lived in were too shallow to swim in, unless you counted the dark, raging river that winded like a snake underneath the Woods, which was just as dangerous as the ocean, she thought.

The girl paused, contemplating her surroundings and location before she dared lift up her legs and paddle. It was harder than she expected. The girl instantly sunk before she began paddling, and when she did, it was an effort. Her paws were always scraping the ground, making her dance in between standing and paddling. She tried swimming in a circle, alternating as she went, before finishing the 360 degree figure and standing back in the shallows, thoroughly drenched. "I did it!" She crowed triumphantly, raising her sodden tail in an attempt to wag it without the drag of the water.
