Sigleif had been staying on this island for quite some time. It wasn't that she couldn't leave, she was just... disinclined. Her family had scattered to who-knows-where months ago. That thought was a heavy blanket on her mind, weighing down her actions as well. She had searched tirelessly for moons, wearing her body ragged until finally, she came to this place. The autumn sea had been calm when she swam the narrow gap between the it's shores and the mainland. She was fascinated by the crumbling stone ruins, had spent days upon days excavating for treasure. All the while knowing how much her siblings would enjoy doing the same. She paused in her walk to frown down at the ground.

Spring had swept through her island with splendor, reinvigorating the plant life and prey, and in turn returning strength to her. Now summer had arrived, a season of warmth and plenty. Sigleif rolled her shoulders, appreciating the way her muscles tensed and coiled. She was certainly recovered, so what other than an urge to escape reality was keeping her here. Even if her family was gone, it was a reality she needed to face. And in her heart of hearts she did not feel right not searching for them. Sig took a deep breath and returned to the ruins she had been sleeping within for so long.

Wooden beams had long ago collapsed against a stone wall, and over time forest debris had amassed to make a very snug roof. Her den site was surrounded by low, crumbling walls on almost every side which helped to keep unexpected visitors at bay while she slept. She had dragged the carcass of a small deer just within the wall, which would certainly keep her fed for the next few days. Oh well. Sig took a deep breath. Okay, tomorrow then. It was too late now to make the passage back and find an adequate place to sleep. Besides, Sigleif had grown rather attached to this island of her own, and cherished one last night of sleep in her den. She would return, one day. She and her whole family would dig for treasures on the beach.
