Time is a Heck of a Thing

Leading the way across the rolling plains, her ivory and matte gold fur shimmered in the afternoon sun. She moved with an easy grace and confidence that belied her young age. There was an energy about her, a vibrancy that seemed to move the tall grasses around her with every step she took. The wind swirled playfully, brushing against Talyssa's face and bringing with it the sweet scent of summer bloom. Ahh, did it feel good to be home for a little while.

She had called out for anyone in the area seeking an intellectual discussion before finishing the journey home. They had trailed around the outskirts of the Hallows- taking the long way back. Once everyone who was interested in participated got settled, Talyssa began. Clearing her voice to speak. "Have you ever wondered," she started, her gaze sweeping over those who had gathered with a spark of excitement in her pale steel eyes, "how places like this place came to be?" She gestured with a sweep of her ink-dipped tail towards the crumbled ridges and hills that surrounded them. Talyssa allowed herself a brief smile, soaking in the feeling of being a catalyst for thought provoking conversation, the feeling of sparking interest like a wildfire among the dry grass.
