Location: The Ancient Oaks Duchess would never deny an outing with Indigo, and now that the seasons changed and the warmer weather was here it was time to move out and try some scouting again. They had come back many times empty handed, Duchess on her own more than she wished to admit. It was disheartening that she couldn't provide for Indigo's pack. She wanted to do everything to make her mark here to put a good name on him. They had made their way back through the lands that they had ventured through on their first day of meeting. Where Duchess found the marigold and the saber cat had attacked them. Her body shivered mentally to the thought, but they were very different now than that day. And the new season was sure to push the dangerous creatures back to where they came from. She too admired what the warm weather had brought them. Indigo in her thoughts is what made her admire such beauty even if it was just a little bit of color. All she wanted was to see him happy, especially in the darker times he was struggling with. It was understandable and she was sure it would take time before he would feel like himself again. Still, she was doing everything she could for him. The shade from the oaks actually felt nice after their travel in and out of the the trees and fields. It was a weird feeling to say the least. The cold had been so bitter that they prayed for the warmth to come. She wasn't complaining, the warming feeling was both surprising and comfortable. They carefully trekked around the oaks, Duchess herself looked around the trunks of the trees they passed for any herbs that could have poked out from the roots. And after so long, it was there in front of them. The sun shined down in a ray and onto almost a vision of heaven. Different colored wildflowers had grown in a large patch hidden in the center of the forest. She almost forgot to look at Indigo to take in his reaction, her own bright smile to him as she turned to observe his features. |
