Swiftcurrent Creek sun heeds high

the sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the forest floor as morwenna moved with quiet purpose. @Leonore’s scent lingered on the soft breeze, faint but clear enough to guide her through the familiar paths of swiftcurrent creek. the silver matriarch’s amber eyes swept the landscape, searching for the small, dark shape of the young one she sought.

she paused near a cluster of mossy stones, her ears swiveling to catch any sound of movement. the soft trickle of a nearby stream filled the air, but no telltale rustle of paws or faint laughter reached her. still, she was patient.

leonore, she called gently, her voice warm and inviting.

her tail swayed lightly, a gesture of reassurance, as she took a few steps closer to the stream. morwenna knew that sometimes it took time for the quiet ones to come forward, and she was prepared to wait as long as needed.
