Kitsune ♡

The skies were growing an ominous tone as Kitsune went about her pack duties. She grimaced at the sight of it, knowing the strong winds and rain that would likely be reaching the pack soon. She helped other wolves tie down awnings and coats in preparation for the coming storm.
When it arrived, she found herself by the ocean. Foolish thing that she was. Feeling the salt water kicked up by the wind brush through her coat. It was on days like these where she missed Iho the most. A part of her might always be watching the ocean, waiting for some sign or sight that he was returning home. She was drenched to the bone when she turned around, making a hopeless attempt to shake out her coat as she made her way back to her lonely little den.
After the worst of the water was drained from her coat, she banked her fire and curled up in her bedding. Dreaming of Iho, lost in storms.
She rose early, trotting from her den and feeling the warmth of the sun as she made her way to the beach. She needed to assess how bad the damage would be from the storm. The place she found was far different to the one she had left the night before. Carnage of vegetation lay along the sands, and she moved among it. Spotting rotten logs, pieces of rope… boards like the sort that would come off a ship. She paused, and nudged that one over, her heart picking up a pace in her chest. No. There was no way she would be able to recognise this plank of wood from any other.
She dropped the plank as if it was scolding, picking up her pace as she moved across the ocean trash. Finding the tattered sails, the larger bits of ship… the shape of a body. “No!” the Princess cried as she fell to her paws at his side. It was her nightmare come to life. How many times had she seen this in her dream since he had left her? “Iho, Iho!” She snapped, shaking his body. She pressed her ear to his mouth. He wasn’t breathing! She placed her paws on his chest and began to pump. “Wake up, Iho! You're more stubborn than this” She growled at him.
