Porcelain paws dusted in black as the ashes of scorched lands clung to her paws while the trudged through the forest. The beauty that surrounded her, the snow, the still fiery leaves that clung to the trees were barely enough to give her a spark of life. The once so full of future and bright, Reiko was deeply saddened and felt more alone than she had before meeting Evergreen and being brought back to the river.

Once again the promise of family and belonging was stripped from her, so quickly and viciously by the fangs of another. Though this time was not her sister's greed and lust for power, instead of a stranger she didn't even know the name of. Fur ruffled in places as it struggled to grow back from the wounds, the pink flesh not as swollen or red as before were easier to hide - but she wasn't certain for her throat. Rarely did she chose to speak, and when she did, it only felt rougher as if the lack of trying had slowly been taking her voice from her.

She had to keep face around Sativa - to add to the struggle by panicking would only bring them more hardship.

It felt as if she had been walking for days since Moonspear. With no idea of a location, of a trail to follow to bring her "home", the dead-look in her baby blues simply stared forward in fatigue, desperate, and only focused on going one more step forward. Her paws hurt, stomach ached with the lack of available food, but all she wanted was just one more step forward in hope of seeing something familiar... Next to her was her newfound friend Sativa, though she brought some joy to the snowy damsel, homesickness struck her deeper than the loneliness ever did.
