The Road Not Taken

Kotori remembered seeing the place as a pup. He’d felt a sense of wonder when he first saw the pool but as a child there were plenty of things that had created the sensation. As a child, a lot of things are new after all. Even though it wasn’t new to Kotori anymore, it was still a lovely spot.

“This was once the land owned by the Ashen pack. So only those on good terms with the pack could see the beauty of this place. Of course, the location looked a bit different back then since it had the touch of other wolves caring for the land.”

The scent of the wolves he knew was long gone from this spot now, yet in his imagination he could smell the scents that should be in this space. “A land to respect.”
