The night was young.
Beneath the early stars, the maiden walked the shore, humming softly an ancient tune. The night was one of myth, still and cool and completed by the full moon hanging low above the water. She was tiny, and yet she walked with confidence, even though surrounded by wolves that dwarfed her, fierce in their nature. She was under the protection of Atoll, and she knew the faces of many from the meeting. Her delicate form stepped lightly among the rocks, slipping naught on the precarious surface that may have felled others, picking her way to the water's edge and finding a flat stone to lay upon.
Sprawled, fur groomed to a soft sheen and dainty paws tucked close to her, she watched the moon and waves, still humming the tune she remembered from days long gone. Her ears were pricked, alert, and yet not truly expecting the arrival of another.
