Time spares no man, indeed... Osprey chuckled to herself, while watching her reflection in the lake. It had been a while since she had seen her face and what she saw would make any former beauty queen cry in despair, yet for a person like this elder, who had never cared much for her looks, this was a source of amusement.
The famine and nursing children during it had taken it's toll on her, her fur was thin, her frame skinny and fragile looking, her eyes lied deep in their sockets and the gray hair around her face, head and neck had faded even more - another year and she would become completely white.
She sat down and sighed, then out of a whim, lifted one of her forepaws and touched the still surface of the water, making it ripple and therefore her reflection disappeared. Were it a fairy-tale and she was a witch, she could make herself young again just by touch and few magic words.
