River Dancing

*Chepi* · 07-15-2013, 12:31 PM

The journey from the North had taken a bit longer than she had wanted. When the snow began to disappear from the ground, Chepi couldn't help but slow down, and wander about in awe - she had never really seen the ground covered in green before. And all the different plants! So many of them, all with names she hardly knew. Even the earth smelled differently here. Why had her family never traveled south before?

The earthen female made a lazy zigzag path down toward the southern part of the island. It wasn't long before she caught the scent of water - a giant source of water, too. Ears perked up, as did her stride. She came across a stream, first, a mere tributary. Her pace became faster and faster as she traveled upstream, wanting to see the source oh so very badly. Pink tongue began to loll, not yet used to the different climate. She was thirsty, but refused to stop until the river was in sight.

And what a majestic sight it was. Here, the river split into smaller streams; the water seemed calm, and absolutely beautiful. Small paws nearly pranced closer to the shore, black nose in the air. The smell was amazing; it was warm and inviting. Claws sunk into the mud as she paused to drink, lapping zealously at the cool liquid. When satiated, she lifted her chin from the water's surface, gazing down, admiring the grace.

"Thank you," she whispered, the hair along her neck and spine raising a bit. She had never felt so exhilarated!
