Your new life

There was a brief moment of panic during the time Mortis was being dismissed. She really had to do this without him? Her eyes widened as she was ushered over the border by Mort’s wing. Staring at him for a long moment as she lingered at the border, she contemplated what Mort would do if she just followed him instead. Surely a wolf of his size and stature could protect her. Right? Then he was leaving and his father was beckoning her to follow.

Tears threatened to accumulate in her eyes as she turned to see the Warlord already heading deeper into the forest. Quickly picking up her pace as she trailed at his heels, her ears pressed forward to listen to his words. When he mentioned a meal, her stomach rumbled and she hoped it would be soon. Again the name Halo also arose and she wondered just how important this Halo girl was. Once more lost in thought about all the questions she had, she looked nearly spooked when he directed a question in her direction.

Without missing a beat, she shook her head no. Afraid he would anger if she didn’t reply, she opened her lips as if to speak and then shook her head once more to confirm she really didn’t know how to. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t remember her own name, where she was from, or who she was. For now, she was a blank slate.
