A very soggy, saltwater drenched wolf drug herself up out of the water and onto the white, sandy beach. She didn't know what had possessed her to take off across the ocean. She had spotted the patch of green that was the island from the far shore and her curiosity had gotten the best of her. She shook out her white pelt, her thick fur spiking up in clumps along her back. As soon as she got back to the mainland, she decided, she was going to wash off in the first freshwater pool she could find. Saltwater was awful. She sighed and looked up at the island in front of her, her ears flicking forward as she heard the overwhelming sound of what seemed like hundreds of birds. When she looked more closely into the tropical forest further up the shore, she could see white birds dotting the tree limbs. She blinked at them, wondering how in the world all these birds got here in the first place. Nature was a strange thing.

The fea padded further up the shore to one of the many boulders that were sitting randomly in the sand, gracefully crouching and leaping up on top of the large rock. The sun-warmed surface felt good on her chilled skin, so she laid down on it, letting herself bake in the sun so her fur could dry. Looking out at the ocean with the sun sparkling on each wave as it lapped at the shore she guessed the trip out here wasn't so bad after all. It was relaxing at least and she certainly could use the relaxation. After the turn her last job had taken she found herself stressed, thrown off her game. Her life had been taking weird turns that not even Alena, with as bright as she was, could understand. Her shoulder still ached from time to time from the awful bite she had gotten and she still had no idea where the leader of those rogues were. The trail had gone cold by now. She rested her head on her paws, her violet eyes looking out into nothing, letting her mind clear as she wondered what else life could possibly throw at her.
