Cedar Sweep The world was on fire and no one could save me but you

For countless days and nights, they had walked @Ulrich by her side. Ever the protector ever the guardian. The sharpened sword to her soft edges. Her paws hurt, the pads ripped and tattered from waking. More walking than she had ever done. Used to soft furs, and softer grasses. Nothing like this.

Pristine ears swiveled forward as she listened to all the new sounds and looked upon new sights with eyes of Umber and Wood. They had left the lifeless bodies, the screams in the night. Never had she been so grateful for the quiet strength in her guardians paws than now. She gave him a brief once over, eyes tracing along iron and steel. While he kept her in his vision.

However, her thoughts scattered and broke when the nearest site came upon them. Tall trees with straight trunks, reaching, reaching towards the stars. Shadows danced along the river bank that flowed and cut through the mossy loam. She squealed in delight and raced forward, her thoughts on the cool water, and the creatures beneath the trees. They could finally stop for a little while.
