ERIS PYRE

______________________________

Now that she had located most of her family, Eris was feeling a bit more brave. Although she took great comfort in their presence, she didn't want them to see her as a weak little girl any more. After all, she had tracked them so far! Thanks to her, their memories had begun to awaken, and she was sure it would only be a matter of time until they were reunited with Amaretto and this whole jumbled puzzle would be complete. With this in mind, she had set out to explore these new lands on her own. The more she knew about the world around her, the better she could understand where she fit into this landscape. The Ademre would need a temporary home, and she didn't want to take advantage of another pack's kindness for too long.

So she set out for a new place to rest her paws. The morning went well - with the sun high overhead, she was able to see large shapes and could navigate quite easily. Just after midday, cloud cover diluted the light and made it a shade more difficult to see. Eris paid no mind, her spirits still high. They needed the perfect place. In her mind, she envisioned another great tree with a huge network of roots to make their dens in, never too far from each other. She knew they could never replace the Sword Tree, but maybe something similar... a Shield Tree, to protect them in these unknown lands. Well, not unknown for long! She was sure of it.

Eris trekked onward, spotting a great, leaning tree in the distance - at least, it was definitely tree shaped. With her ears pricked, she trotted eagerly towards it. The strange slant gave it character. Could this be a new place to settle for a spell? Eris yipped joyfully, and found that the noise echoed off of nearby rocks. The wolf, although she'd like to think herself mature, was still young. She yipped again and again, thoroughly enjoying the chorus of herself. As she got closer to the tree, Eris felt the ground grow soft beneath her paws. Was there water nearby? She stopped to scent the air, finding no hint of nearby reservoirs. "Mmmmm?" She mumbled aloud, slowing down a bit. If it was even possible, the ground was beginning to give way beneath her. Her hackles rose in worry and confusion. Out of habit, she tried to sign the Ademic for worry with her left paw, but found herself more deeply rooted because of the motion. "Oh, Tor," Eris breathed, her red eyes wide and alarmed. "Help! Help!"
