Fearless in the Dark

Colorless eyes reflected within the depths of the darkness that surrounded her. Sightless apparent eyes gazing through the foliage, the heat of the night upon her pelt. She was tired, her trek through the forest to find a place of safety weighed upon her. She knew not where she was, but knew that soon she should find a place to sleep. She felt more comfortable in the dark then she did in the day time, less prone to the dangers that lurked about...at least she felt that way. When she walked in the day, trouble seemed to find her. However, it was not the case when she walked the night. She was fearless in the dark, learned that she could find safety hidden within the shadows. She could stalk others unseen, and avoid the dangers of prying eyes when she took to the shadows. It was here in this place, that she would rest. Head drifted upwards as she gazed at the caverns before her. And without hesitation she would enter, paws kissing the warm earth beneath her feet. Heated by the air of summer, and yet she was mildly bewildered by the fact. She didn't know the things that summer did, nor did she know it was no longer spring. All she knew was that things had gotten hotter, stickier, water became scarce...which was why she chose even more so to walk within the dark. It was then she could hear the steady dripping of a water source within the caverns, and she'd move ahead into the warm darkness in search of the source. Soon she found it, a steady collection of clear liquid had pooled itself within a shallow dip upon the ground. Wondering if the water was as warm as the rock around it, she dipped her head down to taste it. A small smiled spread as she lapped it up, the cool liquid sliding over her tongue. Luckily, the water was nice and cold. A great contrast to the warm rocks all around her. Talk like this |
