Love will find a way <3
Abaven had been quiet, too quiet for his liking. A few seasons ago he had been feeling a little overwhelmed with how many wolves in the pack he didn't know. It seemed like every day he came across an unfamiliar face, though still used his initiative to make another friend. At the time, the pack had been taking in so many new members, so for him, one of the oldest members remaining, it had been hard to keep up. Sometimes it had been discouraging knowing there were many newer, younger canines in the pack better than him. Though Abaven needed to flourish and build up its forces.
That was yesterday, however. Today was different. He hadn't seen his best friend at the meeting, nor around the pack. He had searched every inch of the territory for the blue female, and though the rest of the pack considered her "lost", he wasn't ready to accept that. They were best friends, buddies since childhood, orphan pals. Their common interests and orphaned state were what had brought them together. They trained together, always got along, never fought. Where had she gone? Had she abandoned him like his brothers had?
Because the pack lacked activity, he ventured out of the territory to search for his friend. He winded around the eastern territories - all that bordered the pack before scouting the coastline. A cluster of islands within view of the shore laid on the horizon, catching his eye. She had come from a different land, hadn't she? He couldn't see why she would want to return to her home island with such a traumatic upbringing, but he decided to explore it anyway. The churning waves pulled him back and the tide swept his body about as he paddled his way over the channel. Quite an effort, he had to admit, though equally satisfying when the tip of toes could finally touch the base of the ocean at the other side. Emerging from the water, he shook his chestnut coat before scampering down the beach, searching for a suitable entrance into the forest. Though before he could find one, an alabaster figure caught his eye. Ah, a local, perhaps a family member of his friend? It was worth a check. "Beautiful, isn't it?" he softly asked the tall lady as he approached to stand beside her. |
