she paused only to sate her thirst at a meandering creek that slid between cattails, the burns on her limbs healing slowly. the cool water dulled the throbbing as it swirled around her hocks, and she drank deeply with little desire to make the final journey to Easthollow's borders anytime soon. each visit was accompanied by a swirling cloud of dark news, and ever-dwindling ranks recently punctuated by the vanishment of Shale.
it was as if the curse had flipped; instead of robbing children of mothers, it took fathers. she'd not thought of it since long before her father's death, but it slunk back into the rear of her thoughts now. smoke still took up residence in her fur, and while the fires had all but burned out, she'd yet to return and hunt through the grasslands for any trace of what remained.
