Could This Be It?

Alsander |
Alsander padded beside his eldest brother, while one ear cocked backward to monitor Cael?s movement as they passed from a meadow and into a patch of forest. The ground was carpeted with emerald mosses, interspersed with tiny flowers of the crawling variety, the leaves rounded ovals with pointed tips, standing on stems two inches long and thin, that split into two, and at the ends hung pink, bell like flowers, that gave off a sweet, vaguely minted smell fragrance. He wondered if Cael would know their names. He was glad to have a brother so knowledgeable in the ways of plants. Cael had been scouting a few times in the last weeks or so, and had met several wolves. But they were very close now. So close to finding Claire. They had been watching the borders of the one pack that matched the male scent they had found mingling with Claire?s, and now and then, he thought he caught a glimpse of their sister, there and gone. And now, they were finally moving, approaching the borders. When Caerul drew to a stop, Alsander stopped as well, glancing over his shoulder at Cael. Could they feel his excitement? His hope that this search was over, and that their original search could continue. Or maybe that search was over as well? His tail swayed nervously. What if it had ended? He glanced at Caerul. ?Well, we?re on the Border? According to what we?ve seen, the patrol should be coming through here in a moment? Should we call?? |
