New Sounds & Sights

Silent had never been to the Mile-High Woods before now. She had remained in the warmer lands during the summer, though it would have made more sense to trek north during those months. As the seasons began to shift once again and the heat and humidity started to dwindle, Silent found herself wondering why she was even in the Northern Hemisphere. Why not take advantage of a good thing and enjoy the fall as it came in the southern segments? Silent's question remained unanswered; at least, for the time being.

When she had woken up that day, Silent's paw pads had been itchy. Not in a literal way, but in the way that one's restlessness strives to make any decision for the wanderer about trekking. After downing a few gulps of water from a nearby stream and catching a small rodent or two for breakfast, Silent had cleaned her paws and maw before setting off for another unplanned adventure. As she came upon the large trees that made up the new landscape in front of her, Silent could not help but be in awe. The trunks were so wide, the branches were so thick and long - they all looked as if they were connected, like supported bridges without the finer details of connection.

Bright green eyes drank in everything as she walked beneath the first tree that was in her path, head looking up to see the branch move over her while remaining undisturbed. Leaves had begun to fall around the various trees, causing a soft crunching sound to greet Silent's ears as she walked. It was an interesting sound, one that reminded her of the crisp padding of four blue paws that stepped on compacted snow. She had a small flashback of Bronze's bright eyes and all she could do was smile. Where was the blue boy anyway?
