Old memories, stranger lands
She had missed her little cave that was...somewhere around here. She had traveled back from Hyder's domain in the West to fetch something she'd forgotten, but she hadn't told him that she left...she was an adult anyhow, she didn't need permission to go off on her own. She was no slave, though she had no idea yet that Hyder did have a slave of his own already. He was her friend, her guardian, her protector. And he was a pretty kitty at that! With a small smile on her face, she wandered in search of her old home, though she wasn't entirely sure where it was anymore. The first time she'd found it, it had been purely accidental. But since she hadn't been back in a season, she couldn't exactly remember where it was. Though by now, she figured she probably wasn't anywhere near her old den site.
Frowning, she paused at the edge of ancient riverbed as she gazed about. Obviously this was the wrong place...there was too much snow, and the familiar scenery of her--wait! That was it! She had traveled North instead of East...Rolling her eyes, she groaned out loud as she slumped to the ground; head buried beneath her paws. How could she have been so stupid to go the wrong way? Suddenly, her ear twitched at the sound of a low shuffling sound. She wasn't alone, was she? Peeking out from under her paws, the girl spotted a sight very peculiar and very bright. Curious, she slid down into the riverbed and climbed the other side as quietly as she could, peeking over the other side like an investigative cat. Curiously, she watched the strangely colored wolf...though she wouldn't say a word as she stared in awe. Everyone she met, seemed to have strange colored pelts! |
