Everywhere he had ever known as home seemed to constantly be taken away from him. Seracia had been all but handed to another by his parents; Valhalla had been overthrown, a new leader put in its place. Though Erani had been good to him, he now felt even more aimless than when he had first arrived in her home -- he couldn't stay, couldn't try to find the others that had been forced out of their home. His world had been taken and turned upside down once again, his newly-found sense of peace rattled and disturbed, giving way to annoyance once again. Where he would end up, he no longer knew; nor would he even try to guess. The lake and the plains that he had become so familiar with would slowly fade into the horizon as he went, only turning once to bid farewell to the lands silently. He had grown used to being alone now, but he flourished in the presence of others. It had been so long since he had truly been comfortably anywhere, and once again he felt himself longing for the familiar faces of his parents and siblings. But their whereabouts were unknown to him, and he was clueless as to where to begin. Instead, he would let his paws carry him to and fro, drifting like a leaf on the wind. The flat plains he had grown accustomed to gave way to briars and swamplands, and trees began to sprout across the horizon. The landscape was unfamiliar, but welcoming all the same. The security of the trees would urge him to continue forward, seeking refuge beneath the tall boughs and in the shadows the foliage provided. His breathing would steady as his pace slackened, eyes gleaming as they searched the wooden area he had found himself in. He had no purpose, no aim, and it was evident in his lazy gait as he traversed the unfamiliar land. |
