The ebony man moved quietly along the waters edge. His toxic orbs scanning this new territory. New scents, new sounds and new terrain. This wasnt home, no. He never could return home again. Never see his father's warm smile and reassuring presence. His aunts comforting voice. Everything he knew was gone. Now he wandered aimlessly. His heart ached for companionship but who could he trust out here. The farthest he had ever been from home was on hunting trips and border patrols. But even then he was never alone.
A quite sigh exited his lungs as he came to a stop. His head swung to look at the inviting water beside him. His tongue lolled to the side as he panted softly. It was warm out, it was mid afternoon and the sun was high. His dark coat did him no favors in the bright sun.
Desire got the better of him and he headed towards the lake. He stopped as the tips of his paws reached the cool liquid. His head lowered as he slipped his salmon tongue between his inky lips and lapped at the refreshing water. His dry throat welcomed the quenching water eagerly. Before he would think his limbs moved forward, carrying his frame into the water. His lids slid shut as he savored the cooling water as it consumed his warm body. He stopped just before the water reached his ivory spotted back. His tail swayed at the surface causing small waves to form. The only thing that could make this moment better was if there was someone to keep him company.
