Big Salmon Lake Laughing Fairies

Paws of white and fur of deep red, she traveled from the mountain. Today her destination unknown. Honestly she simply wanted to follow the river a ways. The sound comforting. She was lonely as of late. Chiteo off doing Chi things and the boys all on spirit journeys. She felt adrift and alone in ways she hadn't foreseen.

She hated that she felt so bereft and she was trying to keep a smiling face. But she was realizing that given her limitations. The fact that she preferred not to travel and stayed within moonglow. She may have to come to a day where her dearest ones would depart from her. And that filled her with dread and yet she was also so happy for them. Because if that was their choice and their journey to leave. Then they had managed their task. She would miss them achingly, but she also knew it was unfair to ever ask them to stay if they wished to leave.

Suddenly she felt tears gather and she continued forward. Green eyes on the river and ears perked to hear the sounds of the fairies among it's bubbling.
