Spring had arrived in a hasty fashion that rightfully confused her. Having washed ashore not long ago during such a turbulent time for these lands, Celeste was more than curious what had happened. Why had that dreadful disease spread? Fortunately, it had not spread to her, but the weakening crystals on her companion were finally beginning to fall off. The cat appeared spunkier than usual as he crouched in the tall grass and hunted for mice. Pleased with her exemption from the sickness, Celeste began to grow lonely. The few wolves she had met had been loners, minus the first one. Just the thought of him brought flashbacks of her past in rolling waves. She had been meant for something important, but that evaded her every time pictures of her family and home clouded her mind. A wistful sigh leaves her lips as she trots through the widening plains. Her horned crown is held high as she pauses and looks to the sky. Off in the distance, rolling clouds of thunder and grey threaten rain. Hoping it wouldn't reach her any time soon, the dainty wolf turns her gaze downward to spy the lazy river that split the grass. Maybe she could find something interesting there. Turning her monochrome body toward the water, her paws hesitate as she feels sand between her toes. Leaning down to look at her horned reflection on the glassy surface, she admires her looks. "You think there's any fish here?" She asks in her native tongue toward her companion. Aquamarine eyes dance on the reflective surface as she glances toward the midnight-coated cat. Knowing he didn't speak a lick of Japanese, Celeste wonders more to herself. He was off in the grass still, hunting his mice and far out of earshot anyway. Sighing wistfully, Celeste sits and taps a small paw at the edge of the water to watch the image of her face ripple and distort. |
