Sleepy Fox Hollow such sweet nothing

A week had passed since Kaori’s departure, and several since Airi had gone missing. Thoughts of them weighed heavily on her mind, whilst the beating of her heart had seemed to intensify with worry ever since they’d gone away. She could not search for them, could not abandon her tribe. All she could do was hope that they were alright, and believe that no harm could ever befall her girls. If she could maintain a positive way of thinking, perhaps everything would end just fine—this she wanted to rely on, but could not. In the night, whilst little light reached the cavern’s floor, Asterr made her way out through the entrance and over the mountains. From ridge to ridge she trekked, searching for any signs that might settle her, as well as any hints of battles that may have taken place.

Without realizing it, the dragoness found herself descending down into the hollow, her emotions unchanged. She hadn’t found anything that might confirm the deaths of her daughters, nor had she discovered anything to tell her that they were still safe. With a sigh, she proceeded to travel south, contemplating whether or not she might venture as far as the flatlands.
