Gwyn padded along the snow-dusted banks of the lake, amber eyes tracing the glimmering surface of the water. The chill in the air bit at her skin, but she didn’t mind; the frost felt refreshing against the warmth of her fur. The lake’s surface was just beginning to freeze over, its edges still unfurling icy tendrils like delicate lacework.
She paused for a moment, letting the wind ruffle her thick, ginger-colored coat, inhaling the crisp scent of ice and earth. The air was so pure here, the kind of air that filled her lungs with each breath and made her feel grounded, connected.
Turning her attention back to the water, Gwyn watched as a ripple disturbed the frozen edges, hinting at some unseen creature beneath the surface. Perhaps a heron, or one of the many fish still lurking in the shallows before the ice thickened. Her ears twitched, and a small smile tugged at her lips.
