Wild Berry Meadow between earth and sky

Heading eastward was easy enough with the flatness of the land, and while there was little cover, Eigma wasn't afraid of being discovered. Being away from the young leader and his easily bruised ego was pleasing - but being aware of how content she was to be out of his company, Eigma had begun to question herself. What was the point of jumping through these extra hoops with the hope that the Moonspear wolves would take her in? It was already obvious that Charon didn't like her; or at least, that's what she'd assumed through their first meeting. Yes, she wanted to belong somewhere. Everybody did. But what was the point of ingratiating herself to some boy? He hadn't earned any respect from her, so why should she trouble herself?

With a sigh and a slight frown, Eigma paused. She tossed a lazy glance behind her, to where the mountains rose in the distance, as if contemplating a return to her roots - but she did not stop for long. She was filled with doubts now, but maybe things would work themselves out. The very least she could do was try - even if it meant running errands, and proving herself over and over again. Eigma knew herself. She knew she could do these simple tasks, and she knew she was a worthwhile addition to any pack. There were many options - many roads - before her.
