A kiss had never been so sweet

The pack spread out before her, changed and different to her eyes. The darkness felt thicker than she remembered, the moon more full. The pack lands itself seemed somber beneath its pale form. She crossed the boundaries of the territory, and felt sorrow in her heart that her paws did not truly touch the ground. Was she really here at all? Could this be a strange, vivid dream?

Eyes roaming the land for pieces of her childhood, it was not long before she instead came across something different. Something new. The young girl whos eyes so vivid and blue reminded her of her own, or the pale white markings that lay gently across her eyes. Her dark form almost a reflection, but she was not a wolf Shaye had ever met before.

She floated before the girl, paws a gentle inch above the earth. Her form wavering gently in the wind, as though she had the substance of mist. “Who are you, little one?” she whispered.
