Blacktail Deer Plateau easy does it

Kaihra listened as Blue Willow spoke words familiar and foreign to her ears. She could still hear her mother's voice telling her to forget and move on, that dwelling on the past only got in the way of moving toward the future. Her failure to do so only left her with a sensation of disappointment from the ones she chose to think on, and Kaihra had thought leaving her siblings completely would make things easier. But it seemed the further she moved away from them, the harder it became to forget, and the more guilt she struggled to suppress day after day.

But Kaihra tucked away Blue's advice with the teachings she had learned throughout her puphood and glanced toward the sky. The sun had since vanished from sight, and though its light still lingered on the distant horizon, the moon and the stars had seized the night. Her gaze lingered momentarily on the constellations, resting on the bright one she had followed after crossing the rugged mountains that lay East of these lands. She had followed it with a guilty hope it would lead her home. Instead it had led her here. She tore her eyes away from the sky as her brow began to furrow and focused on Blue again as a wariness rose within her. "You have given me much to think about." She paused, hesitated, then dipped her head again. "Thank you for welcoming me into your family." The word tasted strange on her mouth, but Blue seemed to accept her as one would their kin. Kaihra secretly hoped she could one day do the same.
