Lone Star Mountain stumucha

In the blink of an eye, Judah lurched forward, descending the mountain, and before John could even speak in return.

John, after readying himself, ran behind Judah, his feet carrying him like wings. The journey down was much less strenuous as opposed to the ascent, yet John took some degree of caution, so as not to slip and fall on the wet rocks.

A forest they ran through, mud, brush. By the time John would reach the end, that stone arch welcoming him home, he would have sticks and leaves stuck in his fur. But, it was all worth it, to return to Heda, to his found family. In his hopeful mindset, all else was blocked out, as he kept his eyes on Judah.
