Tealwater Creek

The cold crept further in with the passing hours, bone-deep by the time Goldfinch came to the creek. She was exhausted. The sound had stopped and started again several times; she'd lost her way more than once. It was strong and clear now — just ahead, she thought.

Just a few more steps.

But she was far too tired for that. Goldfinch buckled where she stood, curling up beside the water as she finally gave in to her exhaustion. Somewhere above, the sound drew closer. She scarcely heard it by now.

Whether it was @Druid who found her or another, they would find her asleep under the dawn's first rays of warmth. A little yellow bird flitted and hopped around her as she slept. Her namesake. A skittish thing; it wouldn't allow another wolf near it, but it would remain as close as it could to Goldfinch.
