OOC: Vague! So I dont spoil stuff
The few nights that had passed since the fall of ice and rock had been quiet in the heart of the territory. The den was barred, now just another filled part of the mountain, yet the heart of the warrior could not have felt more empty. She spent her evenings away from her shadow, clinging to the pine’s own in the hope they would bring her solace. Sleep was an ideal, no longer an absolute. The duty to her pack was the only precedent that mattered.
Taking stride through the familiar green, she came upon the call of a packmate, Larch by the tone. Were it not for the efforts of their faction lead, she might have found her new home among the heavens on high. But she was safe, as least in heart and soul, yet the body was damaged. Healing she assumed.
Dulled eyes turned toward the direction of the call then tired legs carried her swiftly forward through the growth and fallen trees. The avalanche made a wonderful mess of their haven, yet the terrain was still familiar as were her steps through it winding heart. It was not long before she spotted the dollop of soft brown fur atop honey hues. Xi’nuata greeted her silently, drawing close to stand nearest her shoulder with an inquisitive muzzle forward. She said nothing, but looked to the other quietly, expectantly. |
