As The Storm Rages

*Audra* · 09-03-2021, 08:55 PM

Thunder boomed in the distance as the sky lit up with brilliant colors. Audra hadn't meant to wander so far South. She had been in search of food and shelter. Her stomach grumbled quietly as she realized how lost she was. When lightning struck the thick clouds overhead, everything that was once dark flashed with brilliance. For a moment, she could see the miles of sand before her. Beneath her, the individual granules of obsidian crunched quietly under each step. Sand stuck between her toes and her lips curled up in annoyance.

Coming from the East, she knew she should have just stayed where she was, but the threat of larger prey finding her was ominous. Sighing softly, Audra paused for a moment, taking in her surroundings. The beach really was beautiful. Frothy waves lapped angrily at the shores of pure obsidian. Everything was alit in a soft glow as the storm carried on over the sea. Wrapping her tail around the left side of her hips in an attempt to shelter her from the chill of Winter, she felt hopeless. I need to find someplace to call home. Audra thought to herself in quite the melancholy mood.

Might as well watch the storm. The thought came to mind as she looked over the empty beach. Not far off, a piece of driftwood lay haphazardly. Wandering over, she perched her small frame on it, scratching at it until the barkless log was free of sand. Laying down softly, with paws tucked beneath her and her chin placed on her hip, she watched with her own honey brown eyes. It truly was a sight to see. Fortunately for her, the rain stayed over the water, droplets causing the tumultuous surface to ripple. Sounds of crashing waves and echoes of thunder kept her awake as the night waned on.
