Moonspear rock the boat

When he had left the Teekon Wilds, Nikai had still had four legs, but he returned with his left hind leg taken away. Nikai didn't remember exactly how he and Alya had gotten separated; there was a patch of memory missing where he had lost his leg. One moment they were still together, and another he came to, dazed and woozy, not far from where he last remembered being with Alya. She was gone, of course. Sometimes he dreamed of cages and all sort of things he didn't understand, and sometimes he dreamed of Alya leaving him, wanting to return home where he wanted to discover the world more, but he couldn't decipher whether any of these dreams actually had a note of truth in them.

Maybe visiting Alya's mountain would tell him more. He felt giddy as he arrived at the mountain. Nikai was able to move quite well on three legs these days, though he would never be as fast as he used to be. Losing the leg altogether had actually worked out better for him; it was as if a burden had been taken from him. He'd also gotten beter as he had been ill often, the wound on his leg still burning often too, when he had still had his leg.

At the mountain's borders Nikai waited and lifted his nose to call. Dusk was falling over the mountain as he raised his nose to call for @Alya or either of her sisters @Lyra or @Hydra so they may tell him of her whereabouts, were she not here presently. There was excitement settled into his heart, for though they had been parted for some time now, he'd not forgotten about Alya. Thinking of her still made a flutter in his heart shake up every time, even if he did not remember how well or poor the terms they'd parted on were (in his dreams, they were different each time).
