Oracle was tired she had hardly had a full nights sleep since the black dame had arrived in their little corner of the world throwing it into chaos with just a few words. They had packed up and left before the pack had even arrived she knew it was for their safety but she had still felt a twinge of sadness leaving the only home she had ever known and knowing that if mum or da did come back there would be little to tell them where the group had gone it would be as if they had vanished into thin air. She had lagged behind the day before pulling sticks and branches onto the path trying desperately to leave some mark of there passing. Still she knew it was no good other animals would use the path the markers would be distorted and then eventually the snow would cover it all. Even the thought that her sister was still out there did not bring her much hope, there was a world between them and she wondered how they could ever meet again. Feeling hopeless she had spoken little to the others and had curled up away from them digging a small hole in the ever-present snow that seemed to coat this place and settling in for another restless nights sleep.
She had woken at the darkest point of the night stifling a cry, dreams now days tended to bring horror images of what might have happened to her family of what did happen to her. Angry at the perceived weakness she climbed to her feet and fled the camp she didn't go far just far enough way that she could no longer hear there breathing there she stopped sitting heavily she looked up at the sky, dark clouds streaked across it almost completely obscuring the moon, ?Da, Mum I don?t know what to do, I don?t want to leave home to leave you but I dont want to lose Galah either,? she confided to the dark spectres, ? I just I wish you where here,? her head fell slightly ?i don?t know what to do,? there was no answer from the silent cloud but as she stood a bit of white drifted down settling on her nose. Surprise almost knocked her back as she looked around shocked it fell all around her, snow, but weird snow it was warm and dry and it was the middle of spring.
Something was definitely wrong here she stood in the falling ? stuff trying to figure out what she should do next, was this some sort of sign? |
should probably add just in case that its ash
