Backdated to July 12th. I am so slow, sorry!
The would-be king raised her nose from the earth, having followed it to Neverwinter Forest at last. These woods were thick with promise; Eshe was right to come here first, though it troubled Moy that she hadn’t caught a whiff, chuff, or pawprint of her siblings yet. If she’d known it would be this hard to find the others, she’d never have left Cethleann’s side.
Moy took a deep breath and pressed her toes into the pine needles that covered the forest floor. She was hesitant to howl again; a small, immature part of her wanted to impress her older sister with her tracking skills first. More sensibly, Eshe could be fast asleep or busy hunting, and Moy didn’t want to interrupt her.
Though it was mostly the first reason.
It wasn’t long before Moy was forced to acknowledge that wherever her siblings had gathered, it wasn’t this part of the forest. She leaned against a steady, old evergreen and licked her lips. If she couldn’t find Eshe, maybe Eshe could find her.
Moy tipped her head back and howled into the canopy: I’m here, but I can’t find you!
