Hopscotch

Muuuuuuuddddd! Aerndis bounded forward into a muddy puddle, sending the gunk splattering over her brightly colored fur. She'd travelled farther east in her explorations where she'd taken shelter during an evening rainstorm. Autumn was starting to creep its way into Boreas. Deep in her gut she could feel unease beginning to settle in with this change of the seasons. It meant that winter was not that far away. Could she survive on her own? She kept hoping to run back into the other Aeris but she hadn't had much luck picking up the trail.

Bounding out of the mud she scrambled sloppily up a large stone and sat atop it, gazing out at the landscape around her. Aerndis shivered as the wind ruffled her fur. It was still a bit chilly from the rain but she hoped it would warm up soon. She eyed the mud puddle, her butt in the air, wriggling for a second as she took a flying leap toward the puddle. "Kiyaaaa!"
