Is the noise fading?

The white trees were an odd thing to see, they looked like bones jutting out of the earth. A wistful sigh left her lips, purple eyes narrowed slightly against the light drizzle of rain that assaulted her pale coat. Even though this land was not too far from her pack, she had never been here before. She didn't know why, there was a beauty to these parts that was hard to miss. The bare trees seemed a sharp contrast against the grey sky as she looked up, closing her eyes for a moment as she paused her trek forward. Taking in a deep breath of the fresh, clean air, she let it fill her lungs as wide as they could expand. Slowly exhaling, her gaze opened up to look at the churning clouds. She hadn't been home in a few days, she kept felt like she was missing a part of her self. She had already returned back from her time with Gethin, but since she left his side she was very aware of the fact that he wasn't there. Mercy hated to admit it, but she longed to be with him again. Never in her life had she ever allowed herself to grow so attached to one being, and this was exactly why. She was the type of woman that didn't settle down with just one man, her attention span just didn't call for that. She loved to fight, to defend her honor and her pack more than anything else. But there was something about that grey man that had touched a part of herself. Deep down this is what she had been looking for, for someone to fill that empty void in her heart. But he was gone now, and she felt like someone had ripped her heart right out of her chest. Mercy shook her head back and forth, looking down and continuing to walk among the white trees. Her black marked face was now soaked from the rain, hiding the single tear that slipped down her features.

This was exactly why she didn't want anyone close to her. She hated this feeling, the lack of purpose that seemed to take over. Is that why she had come here? Was she hoping to run into him like they always seemed to do? She growled at herself, slamming her paws down on the damp earth. No, she was here to explore, to ease the restlessness that claimed her attention. That was all. Weaving between the trunks, she brushed her flank against their smooth surface. Yes, a nice walk would do. And then she would head back to Imperium, maybe grab Lykos and spar. That would really loosen her joints and get her blood pumping again. Determined to make it happen, Mercy allowed herself to put her mind at ease for the moment. She could worry later, now was a time to just enjoy herself.
