Hello Loneliness my old friend.

The mantle of the night had come, leaving the woods in complete darkness. The huge trees didn't allow the sky full of stars to be seen at all. The warm winds of the summer accompanied a lonely figure that padded at the distance. Yurei was on her way to who knows where being a loner gave her freedom to do what pack wolves wouldn't. Being alone was far from rare, being alone became a habit, it became part of who she was. And even if it harmed her, she didn't complain, she was used to it.

She decided to rest, after weeks of constant traveling, she needed to stop. Taking some days to rest here seemed a good idea. Now the only thing she needed was finding a den, water, and food to help restore her energy. Slowly, the arctic wolf lifted her head wanting to detect any scents that could mean water or prey to kill. Fortunately, the distinct scent of water reached her nostrils, and slowly the female made her way there. Following the fragrance.

Ten minutes passed, and Yurei finally found a pond. She was thirsty, but nervous as she was she scanned the surroundings. She wanted to make sure no one else was there. She wasn't a big fan of social encounters,this made her stay away from other wolves. She may be seen as a freak, but she had her reasons to be soo cautious. With that done, she started to drink, keeping her ears lowered as usual. But as she allowed the cool liquid to crawl down her throat, her mind started to navigate in her memories. Memories that brougt her back at those days when those who called themselves her family made of her first seasons of age a nightmare.
