one step, two step
the area was full of life, as to be expected. little critters rummaged through the foliage in search of food, while larger beasts fed on those foolish enough to get close. of course, the obvious drought did hinder the life to be held here. there wasn't as much prey running and the lack of liquid was costly to all. the predators attacked mercilessly and desperately. she had seen a few things on her travels through the east, but desperation was enough to coil reservations. Heloise stepped as a sore thumb amongst the droughted greenery. her thick white coat was visibly soaked in sweat, though it retained its shine; a signal of health. she was not so easily deterred.
hiding until the heat died down... well if she always did that she'd get nowhere in life. it was not like she had an ebony coat either; the ivory did its best to stand up to the weather. it was because the pelt was thicker. it was heavily worn. the north was her goal, the mountains a distant speck for now. she did not know how long she had traveled for or what her actual intentions were in this land, however. it all seemed to blur together in a haze. her only companion was the soft footfalls she made each time she stepped down on the earth. nothing graced her lips as she walked. she was obviously alone and without companions. a lone wolf amongst the other wolves seeking to claim ranks and titles for themselves.
time would tell if she became one of them. Heloise remained untainted - though not naive - of the land around her. her concentration was bothered due to the heat and she was not aware if another was fast approaching. |
