Phoenix Maplewood white winter hymnal

black paws trudged onward in fresh snowfall. kasia breathed heavily. she was more or less glad to have found somewhere similar to home. here, she could forget about her past mistakes and start anew. unfortunately, the barren trees provided no shelter from the falling snow, but kasia didn't mind anyway. gray eyes squinted at the vast beyond, nothing there, she noted. perhaps this place was abandoned, and she wouldn't have the trouble of running into other wolves, or even worse, a pack.

she lowered her nose to the ground. no, the freshly fallen snow covered up any scent worth noting. she had smelled a rabbit that more than likely passed through a couple of minutes ago, but she wasn't too hungry right now. fortunately, the smell of wolf was very faint and old, so she determined that she could pass through the wintry landscape with no trouble. 

however, kasia thought it to be wise to take a short rest. she couldn't remember how long she had been traveling for; it had to been days, maybe even weeks. she decided to sit underneath an oak tree whose leaves had fallen off long ago. someone passing through would see her eventually, but kasia decided to enjoy solitude for now.
