we all float on

She was worried. No, it was more than that. She was afraid. Even though she had always been close with her family, she never thought she could feel this strongly for another living thing until she had her children. With Miach and Kane disappearing her worry had been gnawing at her and her concern had been growing until it had developed into a full on fear for their well being. Dealos, Miach, and Kane were the only things in her life that really mattered now. Yes, she still loved her family and yes, she still cared deeply about herbs and healing, but they were her top priority.

However, there came a point when she had to let her mind relax for a moment and let her worry wind down before she drove herself insane. She was already constantly tired as it was from the lack of sleep. The one thing that could still calm her down was looking for herbs, but it was the middle of winter. Everything was covered in snow and not a single plant around had a green leaf to be had. She could go down to the southern continent and look for herbs there, but she hoped she wouldn't even half to go that far. The islands and lands on the very edge of the continent came to mind and after she had ensured that her sister would look after Daelos she set off down toward the shore.

She took her time with her journey, but she still made good time and made it to where the ocean was within view before the afternoon. Zuriel came down along the beach so that she could take a moment to look at the ocean, but while she was standing there she noticed an island not too far off from the shore that actually looked like it might have some greenery still vibrant and alive. She hummed thoughtfully to herself as she considered it and eyed the water warily. Even though the island looked to be warmer than most of the mainland, she knew the water would still be freezing.

After debating the pros and cons for a while she decided that it might just be worth it. It wasn't that long of a swim after all. She stepped into the water and immediately reconsidered, but she decided to stick with her decision. Hopefully it would all be worth it. The cold water made the swim seem so much longer than it actually was and it took her a bit longer to arc her path around a school of jellyfish. Finally, her paws touched the sands on the island's shore and she dragged herself out of the water with a shiver. Her legs were so tired and her paws were practically numb.

All at once none of that mattered. Another wolf's scent reached her over the strong scent of the ocean, but it wasn't just any wolf. Her head quickly turned to her right and her two-toned blue gaze landed on the massive male's form laying on the beach maybe a dozen feet away. Of all the places in this world he could be, how did he end up on the same island as her? And why was he just laying on the beach? She glanced back over her shoulder at the water and for a moment she really considered just turning around and swimming back to shore. Being alone on this island so far from everyone else with her former attacker didn't exactly make her confident.

Their last conversation started to replay in her head and she gave a shuddering sigh. She had to check on him at least. She wouldn't forgive herself if she didn't at least make sure he was okay. There was just something about him that she wanted to like... it was just so hard to put her memories behind her. She forced her paws to move closer, and she made her way slowly down the shoreline till she was just a couple of feet from Elias. Her brows pulled together as she looked him over with a healer's eye. He didn't seem to have any open wounds or anything like that, but his fur was still pretty wet in spots so she assumed he hadn't been here for long. She couldn't tell if he was just asleep or passed out. Either way, he needed to move more inland before the tide came in and he ended up back in the water. She took a breath and padded closer and dipped her muzzle down to nudge his shoulder. "Elias? Elias, wake up."
