Greatwater Lake lost civilizations

By now at 7 weeks of age, Miho was well on her way to becoming an experienced traveler and a very brave girl. At least, this is what she believed as her daily roundabouts were steadily growing in circumference around the den. Sometimes her sisters would join, other times they wanted to be left to their own devices. But today, the child did not care where her siblings had headed off to. This is because today was the day her mother had come home. 

The voice was so familiar, and while Miho didn't know exactly why she knew it so well, that didn't stop her from longing to hear it again. To get even closer. The absence of Selena had left the pup to her own devices that day and so she expanded her territory to reach even farther away from the den. 

Her legs pushed her as fast as she could go, tightening every few steps to then launch her into tiny hops as she navigated the tall grass. Three women stood faced off, and so she would be the fourth of course. Aliki and another adult she had yet to meet, but who smelled of the Lake, blocked her view of the newcomer. As she was most comfortable around Aliki, the girl slowed her bound and came to a careful crawl to rest behind her. Peeking around, the girl's brow furrowed as she fought to make sense of who she was seeing... but this stranger's scent gave it away. Miho whined excitedly, her tail propelling into a full chaotic wag as her blue eyes widened at the sight of her mother. Momma!
