Iktome Plains Crash Love

She had been awoken in the night from a light sleep to a sound that she only thought was part of a dream, her imagination. She sat up, listening intently to the call that rang out over the land. Could it be? Was it real? Was it really…. Sumac!? He’s really home! She climbed out of her den, forgetting her pain in the name of love and hobbling towards his baritone voice.

She’d hobbled as fast and best she could, towards his voice, her heart beating like the waves crashing upon sea rocks. She made it as far as she could until she was forced to sit down, take a rest for her body’s sake. But this didn’t stop her, as she raised her own muzzle to the sky, her voice dancing back to him. “Come to me, my love!”

It was here, that she would wait for him to come, to embrace him, her lover.
