The willowy form of the Olympian princess would find itself at the edge of a sandy expanse. She could not see how big the land was, but she smelled vegetation from afar. Gaia was not normally an explorative girl, quite the opposite really. She lacked the ability to see and thus found new areas uncomfortable. She had mixed feelings for the sand, it was hot and course beneath her feet usually. With the cooler winter weather she would now find it almost pleasant. She would linger on the boundaries of her family's territory, her paws loathe to leave the protection of the land. However she felt a calling within her, and eagerness to step foot into unknown land. To prove herself. She already knew the gods smiled upon her, she had not fallen ill when the sickness came. They favored her for some reason, and she would have faith they would bring her safely through this trial. She would convince herself then. Ash covered paws would carry her onward, the sand her guide to the hidden oases in the dessert. This was her quest for now, maybe she would find golden apples. What if there was an immortal lion with skin that could not be broken? The girl didn't know what her quest would put her up against, but she felt unstoppable at that moment. Easily her nose would guide her to the smell of water, there were palm trees here too. Ashen paws would extend before her, using her limbs as a cane she would sweep the area before her. The princess did not wish to collide with any trees that day. Her attention would be on the water ahead. Could she had found the fountain of youth? |
