precious and fragile things

The good thing about Elias was that he was easy to track down. Some times it took her a bit longer, but she would surely find him. She'd had enough of satiating her own curiosity of the land. She certainly hadn't meant to leave her sibling as long as she'd done. This new land was strange, foreign, and not as homely as the jungle had been where they used to live. There was no option of going back since Elias had killed Katar. She refused to leave his side - he needed her and she needed him a lot more than she let on half the time. She'd take being with him, keeping him sane, than baby sitting any day of the week. Being with him made her feel whole and she couldn't stand the gaping emptiness she had without him. The sad part about tracking him down was that it seemed he'd done a lot of traveling since she'd slipped off to explore. She hadn't exactly enjoyed the hunt they'd shared between two other wolves, but at least she'd been close to him then. In hindsight she should have followed him around anyways, but it was too late to go back on that decision now. Instead she was trekking halfway across the continent and then some to catch up to him. She was determined. She'd find him and then it'd take the force of a god to remove her from his side again. As she'd traveled south she'd noticed the climate change. The south had been warmer than the north, but winter still swept across the lands and that included snow. As she traveled to this completely new land the snow practically was non existent. It seemed like she'd stepped into a completely different season altogether and that winter had never happened here at all. Where prey was struggling to even eat, here everything was more lively. Animals were plump and well-fed. Plants grew in abundance and overall it was clear this area hadn't suffered. She was near him now. His scent was much thicker now and it was clear he'd stopped here for a little while. There was no underbrush to halt her progress and the grapevines overhead were thick and didn't leave very much sunlight to filter through. She didn't mind the darkness though and instead headed towards where his scent was the thickest. It didn't take her long to find him, wrapped up in a ball, at the base of a large tree. She recognized that look and she frowned slightly. Yes, she'd been gone from him for far too long. She approached rather silently, but let her paws make enough noise to let him know that she was approaching if he hadn't noticed already. |
