Shadewood First Steps

Aero knows not what she’s getting herself into. She’s ventured to a land far from her own, with weeks upon weeks of travel. She began getting the scent of prey and other wolf like creatures a ways off from this strange new land she finds herself stumbling upon. She decides her best bet is to follow said scent, she’s gone too long without food–well, a trickling two days. Food is scarce on the travels closer to this new sought after land she could call her own. Thought this land is a mystery but she has a feeling she inches closer with every step. 

    Her pads thump painfully against the icy ground damp with the frozen over haze of the morning dew. She’s stepped into a vast expanse of valley. It seems like it goes on for miles but just beyond that she sees a glimmer of water off to the left and a the thickness of a forest just in front of her. She has hope yet. For if all else fails she can fish once she gets to the coast.

    So Amita continues on her journey and by nightfall is able to step into the forest she’d seen from so far away. She sighs in relief; she’s making progress. The she-wolf goes on ahead further into the seemingly infinite stretch of trees. The light fog skimming across the grass makes it troublesome to see merely thirty feed ahead, so she goes on cautiously. Large ears swiveling from each direction to listen for both prey and predators. After all, she might not be alone.
