Spark of the Divine

It was a cold and brisk winter morning the day Maija chose to step out of Tortuga. She was paranoid about the decision, especially since Taurig was an even bigger target because of his now assumed 'weaknesses', but she needed the time to get away from the discussions of future plans for the pack as a whole. When it came to her pack family, she put herself on the front line for them; her devotion knew no bounds. However, there was a part of her that strived for independence, and it was because of that nagging voice in her head that pulled her away from the pack lands. Taurig didn't want her to go, but he understood that the golden female was restless. She hadn't been used to living with more than one wolf before meeting him, and she was still adjusting to the vivacity of their pack mates. Maija had convinced him to let her roam free for a couple of hours and he finally caved in. There was only one small flaw in her idea of being free: Taurig had sent a tagalong. He had mentioned possibly taking one of their best wolves with her as a piece of security, but she had wanted to scoff at the mere idea of being followed. Nevertheless, marriage was a give-and-take relationship, so for her small amount of freedom, she gave in to the suggestion of bringing along Tidus. The male knew that she liked her space, considering she had lightly curled her upper lip when he told her he was coming along for the journey. If it weren't for the idea of her carrying Taurig's pups in her womb, she would have fought the situation tooth and claw. Instead, she just told him she wasn't too thrilled at being watched over, and set off to spend some time in the Rock Garden. It had been too long since she had last appeared there. Her desire to run away from all responsibilities -- however temporary -- pushed ahead and she raced through the familiar boundary woods to the wide open spaces. The first thing she did upon reaching the Garden was inhale the air. Cold and shortly freezing her lungs, she sighed in relief and started to jog between the different piles of rocks. It felt like a faraway home, one she had once had and lost just as fast. Her eyes hungrily took in every pile, while her senses were heightened. Maija was still paranoid, and therefore she was on the look out for any signs of foul play from the evil Northern tribe of Glaciem. If any of them was out there, she would be ready. The funny thing was, none of them knew she existed. She didn't rely on that to be completely accurate, but it steadied her beating heart as she progressed through the once familiar terrain. speech here |
