Spirit of Adventure

Ever since the presence of the islands around Alacritia had become known to the somewhat adventurous female, Tahlia had felt a strange desire to leave the quiet familiarity of the Seracian kingdom to investigate. Always the shorelines and beaches of their wide island home had drawn her to them, curiosity as well as fascination pulling her back time and again despite the unexpected company who would occasionally join her there that was not always welcome. Perhaps it was memories from another life or a calling that she had never given thought to having grown up inland and with such a rigidly structured pack system, but she felt comfortable there upon the beaches, in the shallow waves, among the tide pools, and just knowing that more stretches of land lay within reach of the very edges of the world she knew she felt a driving curiosity to try and reach them.

She had traveled perhaps a little further than she typically did when venturing outside of the bounds of her home, seeking the easiest and safest means to get where she wished to go. Though she prided herself greatly on her swimming abilities, the rough, choppy waters of the ocean were nothing in comparison to the relatively still and calm lakes and rivers that she was most used to. She would just as likely be swept out to sea as she would be to reach her destination even in the best of conditions. But this knowledge did not deter her; it only made her cautious. Her cautious explorations eventually had paid off, too. At one side of the shoreline she had spotted what appeared to be a sandbar, reaching out across the waters toward an island that sat very close to the mainland. It was perfect.

Wasting no time, Tahlia had quickly crossed and covered the stretch of land swiftly, not knowing how long the waters that surrounded her on both sides would let it remain, and with a sighing laugh she stopped upon the very edge of the island to admire what it had to offer. Mountainous terrain was surrounded by a dense forest constructed of tall stretching trees, the sounds of its inhabitants greeting her there as she stood within the relentless summer sunshine on the shore. The sights, the smells, that is had to offer were all foreign to her, and immediately she felt the itch to venture forth and explore further, to become familiar with it. It hardly seemed as many others had traversed the beach - the only footprints that she could see were those of native birds who had picked the shoreline clean - though perhaps the swift sea breezes had moved those scents on if they had ever been there. Whatever the case, Tahlia was alone there now, with a whole day ahead of her for exploration before she would need to return to Seracia come nightfall. With a grin about her face, dark golden eyes alight with intrigue, the she-wolf padded leisurely along the shore, staring into the trees and searching for a path or opening that might prove most fruitful for her wanderings.
