Redhawk Caldera The Mountain

@Maia

Dwin had been quiet ever since she had returned home from her trip with Sylvie. They had had to cut it short due to unforeseen circumstances and it seemed as if her sister was quite content to enjoy the simple pleasures of a peaceful domestic life. Her younger sister on the other hand felt differently. Physically Dwin was home, participating in all of the tasks and duties a wolf her age was expected to fulfill, but her thoughts often were eslewhere. She revisited all the people she had met along the way, but most often she found herself sitting on that beach next to Val and talking about life.

She missed him. Make no mistake - she was not in love with him, long gone were the days, when she had nurtured innocent crush on the older man. Rather his views and his opinion and the way the conversations with him challenged her made her realize the extent of, what she was missing out on, while remaining at Brecheliant. At times Dwin felt as if she was one of the Big fish forever trapped in the lake at the caldera - they would live out all their lives and never once wonder, what else was there in the world. But she knew. And she craved for the experiences and knoweldge that her home could never fully satisfy. 

Splash. She pushed a rock in the water and watched it send ripples across the mirror like surface of the lake. If only difficult decisions in life were just as easy to make as sending this rock down to the bottom of the lake.
