furious hearts

Alabaster paws hit the earth with ease as the mahogany hued Wolf moved through the gloomy forest. It was later afternoon and the sun was on a rapid decline. Purples and oranges kissed the heavens which were only visible slightly through the thick canopy above. Rays of the golden sunshine peppered her warm toned fur every now and again but never for long. Mint moved slowly with her eyes wide with curiosity. It was the first time she had ventured to such a dark places and wondered about its inhabitants. She could only assume reclusive beings would reside in the Souless Forest as well as some predators making their solemn dens. Thus, she moved carefully and rather quietly to avoid stirring up any unsuspecting beasts.

As the gal moved along her eyes fell upon that of a small stream. It trickled through the muck and rock with little contest. Moving elegantly she happened open its shallows before dipping her head down to lap at the seemingly fresh water. She felt uneasy due to the calmness of the forest in those moments. Tall dark ears only picked up the natural noises of small prey and the water's movement. The fur on the back of her neck bristled slightly before she shook off the bad vibes with water dripping from her now raised head.
