The viper halted in her step as the frigid midnight air snaked its way about her underdeveloped form, stroking each individual strand of pallid fur with carelessness and forcing an outbreak of chills to slither up her spinal column, causing her minuscule body to quiver with her discomfort. The colder climate of the northern region was foreign to the babe who had never found herself straying from the premises of the humid eastern area until the urge for silence and independence had become imperative, and although the sights that engulfed her vision were fascinating to her curious mind, she did not favor the decrease in temperature. The wench could not quite fathom why it was so cold here, for the season demanded warmth, but she proposed that was just another concept she would never fully grasp and could only be grateful that her mother?s chosen residence lacked such an unaccommodating climate. A frown tugged at her typically vague countenance as the babe progressed further into the nether, mercury and amethyst gaze darting between the numerous sights that the north had to offer in an attempt to register each and every object to familiarize herself with them. Frost still sheathed the blades of grass beneath her massive paws, earning faint crunch!es as they crippled beneath her mass, triangular ears swiveling with each noise emitted, anxiety creeping upon her at the recognition of the unknown. There was a fear that had developed within her diseased mind that she could be attacked at any moment and knowledge that her family would be too far off to rescue her had been breached, but such thoughts would not and could not deter her from her mission. She had to be brave ? she needed to be for the sake of her family and maintaining the honor that accompanied her surname; honor that had been fractured but not broken by the failure of her ex-sovereign mother. |
