Chasing shallow dreams

Where had she gone? He had never loved her, but he had given her everything she needed, provided for her when she needed a place to live and safety to birth their pups. Now she was gone, and his daughters were without a mother. Not only that, but Limno had deserted the pack when she had once been his second-in-command. He had asked his pack to trust her, and she had betrayed that trust, not only to him, but to the rest of them as well. It infuriated him, and left him with emotions he didn't know how to deal with. He had his two girls, whom he loved so dearly, but things had not played out the way he'd thought they would. So now he was searching for the mother of his pups, not knowing what he would do when he found her. He wanted to have her head for this, to track her down and destroy her, but there was more to it than just a burning sense of vengeance. He had to consider much more than simply revenge. Fury coursed through his veins as he traveled, feeling like he was wasting time away from his pack searching for her when he could be spending this time taking care of those who remained. Instead, he was out here following dead-end leads, ending up further and further from home, in territory he was scarcely familiar with. By nightfall, Xephyris had come to the strange frozen lake. Well, at least he'd been here more than once. He knew what to expect as his paws crossed onto the ice. A peculiar glow began at his paws as his weight pressed onto the frozen surface, and he padded along carefully, winding his way through the naturally sculpted arches of ice. For a small moment, he felt more drawn to his surroundings than to the anger he held within, and hew as able to relinquish the hatred just long enough to enjoy the icy lake that glowed under his paws. Perhaps it was time to call off his search for the night, and just let it be. After all, if he didn't rest, how could he ever return safely to his girls? Sighing, he gave in to the notion, and padded carefully along the lake's icy surface, making his way toward a resting spot he knew of just on the other shore. He would restore his energy through a good night's sleep, and make his way home in the morning. Set on his course, he noticed nothing out of the ordinary, and was head for the other side of the peculiar lake, blue-flecked silver eyes fixed on his destination... |
