Hotaru tries to blink away the sleep in her eyes as she walks. That night she had finally gotten some sleep. The snow was cold and bit into the pads of her paws as she walked, but she chose to ignore to the best of her abilities. The trees around her were tall, taller than she had ever seen them. She had been wandering around this area, looking for a place that had not been touched by winter's frozen tears. She was a horrid hunter, so she needed whatever plants she could find. She hated eating them. It made her feel like she was less of a wolf. But, until she has a pack, she's just going to have to suck it up. At the thought of other wolf packs, her tail sinks lower to the ground. She does like other wolves, but she had no idea what kind of temperment they would have in this area. She had no luck in other places with wolf packs, and was feeling very discouraged. And...She was scared to death. She had no clue how they would react to a rogue wolf on their territory. They may even go as far to kill her. She tries to banish the thought and quickens her pace. She wants to get a good distance today so that she doesn't eat up more time than she already has. The trees around her are changing, gradually becoming softer in the bark and longer in the branches. She recognizes these trees as willows, but they are unlike any that she's ever seen before. They are enormous, with roots digging relentlessly into the ground and she has to nimbly dance through them to pass. How annoying. Once she escapes from the roots, she looks around. All is normal except for... She reels back in fear. There is a wolf lying on the other side of the tree she had just passed. She can feel her heart pounding in her temples with a similar tempo as a stampede. Her breath catches in her chest and she freezes in place, too afraid to move away. Speech, |
