Moonstones and Moonlight [Red]

She sat at one side of the northern Plain’s passage in the wall, gazing outward and letting her mind wander as she watched, taking her turn at sentry duty. It was after midnight, and the moon sat high and full in the sky above, glazing the land below in silvery light.

She might have stood out like a beacon with her bright white-based coat, but as it was, she was a pale shadow within the hide tent, using it as an advantage to catch troublemakers unaware should they try crossing the border through her pass. She wasn’t immediately noticeable in her present spot.

Her long tail hair lay tumbled at her paws, tail flicked to tuck about her hips and feet, and Ayodele had allowed her mane to fall free and unfettered by the lemur’s almost compulsive braiding. Gradated blue eyes scanned slowly over the waves of grasses and the distant red shadows of the rocks to the north where she and Amos had fought a tiger together.

She felt a clench in her breast and sighed softly, wondering if that would ever stop. She wasn’t even certain why it happened. Surely Amos was fine out there. Maybe he’d just… gotten lost? She frowned slightly as the tread of paws caught her ears and she spotted a moon-struck form out in the grass far off, though moving nearer, she thought.

It was wolf-shaped, but she made no sound, choosing to watch from the corner of her eyeas she continued scanning the horizon and nearly lands.
