Peace Offering

Sirius still flapped his gums, spouting drivel but Isa had put up blinders. She couldn't hear him or see him. He was nothing. The buzzing of a fly, if anything. With her gaze narrowed against the icy wind, the cobalt fae continued on her way. She moved quickly along the mountain path and the further down they went, the easier it was to breathe. The easier it was to breathe, the faster that she could go. Coming up the path, she'd learned it right away. It was a gift. Even now she'd be able to find her way back to her real home. The woman's sense of direction was impeccable. So, by the time that they reached the bottom of the mountain, Isa was practically running.

When the ground leveled out and they had left the mountain behind, Isa peeled away from the dire wolf, putting as much distance between them as she could. She was done with him for the day. Things had started out nicely with her apology for bringing up his wife, and it had ended with him proving that he was nothing but a childish bully. Isa had wondered why there were so many wolves in the pack with a leader like Sirius but he had proved the reason. He was bigger than everyone else and he was a jerk. Everyone here was a prisoner; not just her.
