A voice. At first, he thought it was simply a dream. A voice in the back of his head, toying and taunting him. He had been on the search for his mother, the whereabouts of his father and fathers family unknown to him. He had grown since the time of being on the island, now at six months old, he had grown significantly. His paws were still very large, disproportionate to his body but the rest of him was at least filling out. Muscles from swimming to nearby islands and back and forth to the mainland had become apparent in his chest and legs. He had gained a lot of stamina from it all, and felt that he could run long distances and do vigorous work without getting tired for a long time...now, he wanted more. He wanted to train, gain the knowledge he knew he could learn from his mother. He had wanted to train under his father, but he was nowhere to be found. It was then as he crossed into the forests of the unknown that he smelled her. The scent he could never forget, the scent of his mother. What was she doing here? Did she live here now instead of the East? He had been deprived of much socializing, having spent most of his time alone wandering around and learning the layout of the land. He had become a solitary, now preferring to be alone instead of with others since. But now he craved to be with another, to feel the touch of his mother. Could it really be that she was here? He trotted along, moving faster through the undergrowth as he followed the scent. "Mother...?" He would speak into the mist as she came into his view. He remained standing a few feet away, his tones near emotionless when he spoke that single word. Had he lost himself somewhere along the way? He wasn't sure anymore. He wasn't sure of anything now. He had gone off on a choice all his own, then felt abandonment not long after. He didn't know what to feel, what to think, what to do...what would come next? Would his mother eventually leave him to? |
