It had been nearly a week now.  She'd traversed the canyon but had no luck in finding a way up that did not involve climbing, something that she was not able to handle with her ribs in the condition they were in.  It was ok enough to be walking, but she knew if she fell again, there was a high chance she could do some serious damage.  Potentially even kill herself in the process.

She wavered between guilt and euphoria daily.  Occasionally the bone-deep grief and loneliness would set in and she'd yearn for anyone to show up.  She'd hope to hear a howl that she could answer, or catch any sign that they were looking and might have found her.  It was a stupid hope; she'd hidden her tracks and told no one.  She'd abandoned them on purpose this time and they had every right to abandon her back.  She deserved it. 

Just because I said I wanted space didn't mean I meant it.  

If he didn't hate her before, he'd definitely hate her now.  She certainly despised herself.  

But this mix of guilt and self-loathing warred with the excitement she felt having finally embraced the future she'd been dreaming of.  Anyone she met here would be strangers.  She had no pack she depended on, no one here who knew anything about her past or her insecurities, not even her name.  She could remake herself in whatever image she chose, and no matter how mysterious, they'd take it.  It would be their only view of her.  That was powerful.  

If she just kept moving, kept going, then she could move past all of this.  She knew she could only live with this guilt gnawing on her for so long, but if she could go to the point where it no longer mattered, maybe she'd be okay.  That's why today she stood in the south-western part of the territory and lifted her muzzle.  The call that sounded forth was not particularly powerful, but she let it hang in the air for a moment as an invitation.

Looking to shift your fortune, or to alter the fortunes of others? 
Looking for help, for good or for ill?
Come see the Wraith within the canyon.


Fennec winced as she draw a quick breath and a shallow spike of pain flared.  She'd need to find a better way to get the word out with more reach.  It would likely be a week or more before she could properly howl.

Fenn is blind, and as she's older, will take all of her character insight from tone.  If you are ever uncomfortable with an assumption she makes, please let me know!
