Frost Bitten Daisies

Tea cupped paws carried a petite figure at a steady, meandering pace across the soot coated land. Twilight optics scanned everything, drinking it all in with fascination. How interesting this place was, it was clearly a once great forest, but now ashes and rubble. How long had this been the case? Every now and again, a spark of green could be found, the fronds of a new fern daring to unfurl in the mist of dawn. Gold dipped plume would sweep across tapering heels with a jovial attitude, the petite English lass enjoying her stroll through the broken woodland. A cheery tune was confined within her throat, but the muffled song could still be heard as she hummed it. The morning sun was trying to clear away the cool mist shrouding the place, and it was warm on the lady's creamy ivory back.
A small bird was found, chirping away as it dug through the soil for worms and grubs. The femme would pause in her journey, regarding the blue and gold avian curiously. Her large purple-blue optics absorbed the magnificent appearance, realizing it was a swallow. When the little bird found a meal, it quickly swallowed it and took flight, disappearing into the swirling fog. With that, the dame continued on, curious to see what she might find.
A gnarled oak tree caught her attention, still standing amid the chaos of it's past. She sighed quietly as she brushed the main body of ash from a spot at it's base, seating herself upon a throne of strong, charred roots. The wolfess witnessed a deep blue butterfly sail through the air, quite a large one in fact. It seemed to take notice to her, and she then found herself looking into it's multi faceted eyes as it perched on her little black nose. Regarding each other curiously for a few moments, the winged beauty seemed contented and fluttered off to do butterfly things elsewhere. A soft chuckle was heard from the petite dame, and she beat her tail upon the terra in glee before settling back into her seat and waiting for whatever would decide to come next.
