Althaia smiled wistfully. "I hope so, sir. I can't wait to see what these lands look like, when they're alive" Her green eyes followed the horizon, imangining it beautiful once more.

Althaia's paws lifted her up, and with a final glance at the stranger she set of at a brisk pace further inland, wondering what adventures would befall her next.
