Fragmented Hope

Esperanza heard the thunder rumble throughout the land. She put her nostrils to the air as they flared from the smell of the storm. She placed her cranium down and shook her head, "Nowhere in particular," she spoke out, lying down on the desert floor as the sand parted away as her belly landed on it.

The coyotes could be seen and she snarled in warning at them as they tried to approach, sensing the weakness in them. Esperanza stood on her paws, doing mock lunges, but the coyotes paid no heed to her playful like behavior. Soon, the sky became dark as it drew her attention, feeling a droplet of rain on her nose. Her lobes heard the sound of rumbling, and lightning flashed throughout the land as the sand became damp from the droplets that poured down from the heavens.

"We must seek shelter," Esper barked to Alen and began to lead to way, where she was going to find a den, she wasn't so sure, but she continued on her way, hoping Alen would follow after her.
