shock & awe

Valanga was…well, not lost, she had never gotten lost, although she had never really traveled outside the borders of her father’s pack save one time when she left to find her lost sister and they had been confronted by a scary stranger. Their father had found them before the scary man could do anything to them, but that had been well over a year ago, and she was bigger now. Much bigger now, she was almost as big as her father and he had said he wouldn’t be surprised if she grew bigger than him. She strutted proudly through the caverns, head held high as she looked for anything she could use to gain her bearings, a small whine managing to escape her as she looked at what must have been the 50th identical wall she had passed in an hour.

She walked faster, moving blindly through the caves and passing clumps of mushrooms with each step all the while thinking of the scary man she had met when she was a pup. She began to grow paranoid as the cloying darkness began to settle in around her until she was running full tilt, searching for daylight. She was so preoccupied with her own fear she didn’t notice the small figure ahead of her until she was almost on top of her, at which point she dug in her paws and stopped just short of crashing into the woman.

“Uh…” She said dumbly, her ears pinning back. The woman reminded her of the funny man that lived in Lirium, Seth, was she related to him?
