Kingdom of Isolation

The island was empty. Great walls of stone rose on all sides, giving few glimpses of the life within. The cliff edges were sharp and threatening, like massive plates of armor. Adelaide remembered hearing stories of this place. Atlantis Island. Her parents met each other here. A lovely story, of course, but the young female knew what a coward her father was. The words were like a distant dream to her now.
Why had she traveled all this way? At a glance, it seemed ridiculous. The swim had rendered her soaking wet, her black markings even darker in comparison to her strangely white coat. The strips of color on her face looked like ruined mascara. She was a mess. Adelaide let out a bark of laughter, her low seductive voice lost in the open air. Who cared what she looked like? There weren't any wolves for miles around. She'd come here as tribute to her mother. This was one place she felt close to her.
Her shining blue eyes closed as a sweet gust of wind came down from the clouds, drying her fur. The air was sweet-smelling here. There were probably many beautiful flowers in the jungle. All she needed to do now was find them. Adelaide's eyes snapped open and she squinted, searching for any flaws in the stone armor. Her gaze found a gap in the stone, and she began walking to it. The sounds of birds fluttered in her ears, making her smile. She was glad to be alone today.
The fair little maiden lifted her pace to a trot as she moved across the beach. Her foxlike tail swung happily in the breeze. Her coat was only dampened now. Her smile grew as she leapt into the gap, easily fitting through with her graceful frame. Sometimes, in moments like these, she felt like her mother. So lithe and elegant, with a warm smile and a curious mind. Even their eyes had been the same brilliant shade of blue. Adelaide knew that her mother was always with her. She always would be, too. Forever.
She felt the pain of tears and struggled to force them back. This was no time to mourn. She had come to celebrate happy memories, and that was what she would do. Adelaide smiled into the sun, relaxing in the heavy scent of tropical flowers.
