How Far I'll Go

The pack had been disbanded. She’d stuck with her parents for a little while - and she was glad her mother was safe - but now she felt completely adrift. It was terrifying but also… exciting. Sio hadn’t ever had this much freedom before. Torin had gently suggested they venture to Valhalla, but she’d split off just before they’d gotten there. Tearful goodbyes had been exchanged, but she knew that she’d come back and visit soon. There was just too much to explore. Siobhan was fully in control of her emotions now and had come into her own. Unless she was completely taken by surprise, there was little risk of sudden collapse. Assuring her father that she’d be totally, completely careful, she took to the wilds.

This place was unlike anything she’d ever seen! The perfect spot to begin her adventure. A light breeze ruffled her fur and as she picked her carefully down the descent. It was steeper than she’d expected but not impossible to navigate. Grinning, Sio reached the floor of the drop and allowed her eyes to adjust to the light. What would she find here? Visions of glitter, sparkle, and dramatic color danced in her head. Surely something to add to her painting repertoire was lurking within. Ducking to avoid some hanging moss, she traipsed further into the unknown.
