The cure for the disease had been given to all the packs in the land, including Valhalla. Once all those who were infected ate the magical combination of herbs, pandemonium ceased among the pack's members. Happiness had seeped through the different members of Valhalla and Odette had been touched a little from the positive vibes. A small smile was on her face and some of the sparkle she had lost was now starting to shimmer. Bit by bit, the young warrior was coming back.
Now that everyone was no longer sick, Odette decided it was safe to leave her den. The scent of disease was stale and almost gone, making the air fresh and cold. She shook her thick, winter coat out and began to walk across the occupied lands of Valhalla. Her paws were restless and so was her soul. Ever since Baldur had come to say goodbye, she needed to find something productive to do so she would feel better. By leaving her den, it was a good start.
She left the Plains and ventured onto the Moor. Fog engulfed her and the solitude was immediately welcomed. She may have been by herself in her den, but being alone in the fog seemed...satisfying. It was something she didn't want to explain and she didn't consider doing it, either. As she walked deeper into the gray atmosphere, she silently relished the squelching of the moist ground beneath her. Winter had made all the ground hard, except for the ones that held onto the moisture in the air. If she had to get away from a thrumming crowd, this is where she would go.
Apparently, someone else was thinking along that same line. Odette caught onto a scent that she hadn't smelled in what felt like forever, and her heart rate increased. Red and blue eyes attempted to look deeper into the fog, but it was hard to get past the haziness that loomed in front of her. Her steps slowed as she made sure to not collide with the person she smelled. Her cautiousness paid off when she broke free from the fog and saw a looming, hunched over figure a few feet away.
Odette was surprised. She had never seen Jinxx Black look the way he did then. She quickly recovered from her awe and gently cleared her throat. When she was a couple of feet away from him, still facing his back, she softly voiced, "Jinxx? Is that you?" She didn't want to startle the man, but then again, she wasn't sure if he was an illusion.
