What a Rare Trip, Indeed

It was a miracle: the ebony female was outside of border lines. She had been hesitant at first, more so than usual because of the anxiety that was slowly starting to settle into her old bones. However, after Faolan had encouraged her and promised to be there if she needed him, Silent had succumbed to his gentle prodding. Getting out of the familiar territory was going to be hard for her, but her silvery son thought she could handle it. With a shuddering breath, Silent stepped across the safety lines of Seracia and into the unknown. Having Faolan there was definitely a good thing. He was the only lifeline she had within calling distance...that was what she thought, anyway. Scenarios of becoming tripped and swallowed by the large lands outside of home made her want to curl into a ball. Silent never thought being alone could be so scary, but it was safe to say that she wasn't alone that day. As she thought of how long it would take to get to the "surprise" location, Faolan cleared his throat and gave her a gentle nudge. Her green eyes, nowadays still glassy and giving a faraway look, blinked and the glassy appearance was taken away. She slowly took in the details in front of her -- the black sands and the very blue ocean -- before taking in a deep breath. They had made it in one piece and her anxiety only simmered at its lowest level. With a look from Faolan's light green gaze with the brown spikes around the irises, Silent gave a soft smile and proceeded to follow him. When her paws went from the grass to the sand, Silent closed her eyes. She remembered the many shores she had walked across, not to mention the lost souls that had met her own. Some were good, others bad; she had survived them all. Silent was still on this earth for a reason, even if she didn't know why. It was then that she opened her eyes and proceeded to take a few steps closer towards the wetter parts of the beach. As the water rose up to the shore, she let it trickle upon her toes and a gentle sigh escaped her. "I haven't felt this way since..." A gentle chuckle escaped her and she looked at Faolan fondly. "Since I met your adopted sister, Song of Ludicael." Silent's tone was weary, but she still held a young woman's light in her emerald eyes. "I do miss that sweet babe, even if she isn't a young one anymore." Her head turned to look out at the ocean and she let the breeze blow across her black fur. Despite being more tired these days, she enjoyed keeping herself up in appearance. Her slender haunches reclined on the drier part of the beach and she glanced at Faolan through the sides of her eyes. "I'll be all right," she chided, giving him unspoken permission to patrol away from her for a little bit. With her son's smart mind working, he set off and she amused herself by running the first day she met Song in her mind. "talking" |
