The gargantuan island she inhabited was teeming with mystery and intriguing scenery, and no matter how often the pallid viper abandoned the sanctuary of the eastern region to journey about the premises of the island to observe and learn, there were always foreign aspects to experience and new faces to encounter; there was never truly a dull moment when she resided in Alacritis. Even as she traipsed along the outskirts of the island, allowing her paws to intrude the cold ocean water as she trailed the shoreline, pupils darting frantically to consume her surroundings, a sense of wonder and curiosity brewed within her. It was a peculiar concept that she would never entirely familiarize herself with the ever-expanding land, but no complaints would ever spew from the phantom child for exploration occupied her and sated her intense wanderlust when endeavors of bloodshed or ambition would fail to. As the serpentine babe inhaled to impregnate her nostrils with the crisp scent of autumn air, a familiar aroma invaded her olfactory system that physically caused her to falter in her lackadaisical saunter, skull whipping about as she attempted to locate the creature who possessed the sweet scent, still not entirely sure exactly who it belonged to, only aware to the fact that she had encountered it previously. A frown caressed her porcelain features as nothing of interest crossed her vision as she stared away from the coast, forcing the babe to accept that the creature had long since departed as she continued on her journey. Not but a few moments after she had proceeded onward, the wraith?s pupils flicked towards the sapphire waters that stretched vastly from the earth she trudged upon, quickly happening upon a short stretch of land that appeared to jut outward from the depths of the ocean. Again, the viper paused, pivoting to face the isle as her gaze narrowed to better view the contents of the island that was situated not far a swim from where she was currently situated, devouring the blurred form of an unknown creature that immediately piqued her interest. Swiftly, the babe breached the decision to pursue it, allowing her body to plummet into the cold waters of the daunting ocean as she began her paddle towards her targeted destination. Her hind limbs brushed against the rugged surface of the submerged coral beneath her as she swam, but the babe easily disregarded the stinging pain as she was fueled by adrenaline and the urge to greet the lonesome canine. After quite some time of paddling and struggling to avoid the obstacles of the numerous reefs, finally her paws greeted the grainy texture of warm sand and she pulled her mass above the surface of the water, gliding away from the shoreline before she gave a brief shudder to rid her pallid flesh of the water droplets that clung so desperately to each fine strand of her pristine fur. Once this action had been performed, she directed her attention to the object of pursuit that had initially attracted her to the island, desperation striking her as she found it loping silently away and into the vegetation further inland. ?Hey!? the wraith bellowed in an attempt to captivate the sable canine?s attention, still oblivious to the fact that this was the same brute that had been her false sibling many months ago. |
