Alpine Lake Upon the ground

Upon paws of winter white and fur that glistened in the morning light. IT grew in long and red and bright. She walked from Moonglow. A false sense of security in her step, but she wanted to be sure. Sure that this was not something she could do, but she found deep within her heart of hearts. A soul that beat for those she loved. And she would not allow them to grow dim with her short comings. And so she walked. She explored and she learned and she listened.

The sound of the swaying of the trees. The brush brush as it curled in the air and then whistled as wind went through it fast and hard. There were chattering animals. She stopped to watch a squirrel dabble and run from one branch and to the ground and back again. IT's mouth packed full of something, and it chattered at her with yellowed teeth and angry eyes. As if she had disturbed it somehow. She blinked surprised and unsure at it's display.

What a curious creature. She mumbled to herself as she continued her walk.

Black nose twitching and seeking as she lowered it to the wet grasses and the loam of nearby trees. A fresh breeze blew back along her, ruffling the tufts of fur at her cheeks, biting her with sharp cold teeth, digging there and laying heavy and harsh on her back and shoulders. And then dancing away with a small little noise. 

At the lake front she froze and looked out over it. The sway of the water as it hit the sides. The fish that leapt and twirled out where she couldn't reach. As if laughing and saying i see you and you can do nothing. She settled quietly to her haunches, tail curled around paper paws and green eyes sharp and assessing traveled out and over.
