A New Life

Night suited this land, Sunniva thought. The North was a landscape coated in snow, though it was far softer and wetter with the temperatures rising in the spring. Sunniva didn’t particularly care for the slushier state of the snow, though she found the North far more welcoming than any of the other areas she had roamed. Her heart, no longer bogged down with burden, did not cry so much for her siblings. She might have missed them, yes, but no longer did she care to chase after them like some puppy. If their paths were meant to cross again so be it. Was that not how things had come to be since they entered Alacritia? Though Sunniva wouldn’t deny seeing her siblings put a smile on her face. Particularly Aki, though Sabine was a welcome sight as well. Perhaps it was the yearning to find a place for herself, to carve out her own life, that had her drift wayward. She would still take every opportunity to mingle with her kin when they arose, but for now her destiny, she decided, was up in the air and it was time to find it. Sunniva missed the frost. Missed the chill of the air. It was just warm enough in the North to be devoid of that... And Sunni hated it. But it left the prey growing stronger, healthier, on the flora that grew beneath the snow in different parts of the North. Here she was hoping to get a meal, tracking down an animal she’d wounded a little over half a day prior. She was in no rush, but as she trailed the animal she would become aware of another wolf’s scent. It seemed he too had picked up on the dying animal, and her work, to make a meal for himself. Sunniva would not have minded sharing, so long as he knew the kill was rightfully hers. Picking up the pack through the slush, she sought this stranger out. ...and would at last see him. His body was low to the ground and her reindeer not far away. The creature was weak... Not yet dead but close to it. She’d smirk slightly to herself, sneaking up behind the stranger as quietly as she could considering the conditions. Then she’d speak, calling to him in a soft tone; “Hunter turned scavenger? My, what a sad sight. Or did you perhaps think he’d been injured by another bull?” |
