Hoshor Plains I never met someone like you

It was only when morning came that Pala was faced with the reality of her situation. She was traveling, with two pups, to a destination she had never been to for a pack whom she had only met a single member of. But then again, there was nowhere else to go.

Settling in the shade of a lone tree she decided it was time for a well earned break. She had been travelling since the night with one pup held in her jaws and the other over her back, interchangeably. They were far more mobile now, but not so much that Pala could let them walk themselves. They would simply never keep up.

Giving each son a lick to the tops of their heads, she looked out upon the flatlands, to the mountains she had come from, and then the mountain she was to walk towards. Once she would have been there by sunrise, but her cargo was too precious to risk this time.
