iron hearts all turn to rust

The family had been out and about while Taurig remained at home. Her father had decided he would spend some quality time with himself and it was understandable to Maija. However, Pandora was confused. Why didn't her dad want to spend time with the rest of them? They were together all the time -- was he getting tired of it? As Pandora walked beside Freya and Eon, a small huff escaped her lips. She wasn't going to have it! The sneaky little pup vanished from between her siblings without a word and curled up behind a dark green bush. Her bright turquoise blue eyes twinkled as she watched the group disappear and she gave a soft chuckle. Pandora Selene Artenie had successfully ditched her mama and siblings. Huzzah! It was something she thought would never happen. Given that it was something she didn't usually do, she pondered if they would notice her missing. Slowly, she poked her head out from the bush and made sure the coast was clear. Once it was secure, Pandora trotted down the trail and back to her father. After a few minutes, Pandora began to feel lost. She didn't know exactly where Taurig was, nor did she remember where the exact location of her family's den was. Panic was about to set in when she remembered she had a weapon: her nose! Excitement seeped through her and she allowed her nose to start working. It quivered like the Energizer bunny and she caught the scent that she woke up to every morning. A smile widened across her face and she proceeded to follow his scent until it got stronger. When it was strong enough to hit her in the face, Pandora halted. She heard her father's voice, strong and sturdy, then another female's. It was a stranger's and her ears automatically flattened. Who was she? Slowly, Pandora moved from behind a tree close by. Her eyes looked and caught the view of a large, red wolf that was speaking. She caught the latter part of the conversation that mentioned Tortuga and why they were on an island. Pandora's curiosity rose higher than before and she flicked her tail behind her. What was this lady talking about? She decided to find out. After shaking out her fur to show off her radiant designs, Pandora pranced from behind the tree towards her father. She let her vibrant color combination of Taurig's blue and the lovely gold from her mother collide with the sunlight as her ears perked upon reaching Taurig. "Daddy," she said, tones hinting Maija's Romanian accent. "I didn't want to leave you all alone, so I came back." She sat beside his large shoulder and leaned her head against it, rubbing her crown against his dark fur before peeking an eye in the direction of the ruby-furred stranger. "Daddy..." she said in a loud whisper, eye twinkling at his guest. "Who is this pretty lady?" She let a slip of a smile appear, hoping that the stranger would respond. Talk like this |
