Images of the Past

Kogyn now reaching her second year of life has been traveling the world for over half of it. But no matter how far she traveled she just cannot help coming back to the land of her forefathers. This was where her father lived, where her mother meet her father the first time. It was where her paws seemed to want to take, no matter how far she traveled away. She looked behind her, her paw prints indented in the early spring snow, but quickly turn back.


She had only chanced upon this cave, trying to get out of the late snow storm, but was glad for it. Glancing around she was amazed at the images, with the humans long gone she had never thought to happen upon something left behind by them. Hell she had never seen a human only heard stories about them from her father, who had meet some in her early travels, before they had all destroyed each other.


Kogyn moved forward, her small body shivering but she did not pay it any mind, she was to mesmerized by the depictions on the wall. It showed man with sticks chasing after buffalo. Licking her maw the girl moved on, her pale blue eyes tracing the many depictions the humans carved upon the cave walls. Another showed man on the back of a horse, then another was of man placing seeds within the ground. On and on the drawing went.


The girl was so absorbed by her surroundings that she seemed to lose track of not only time but herself. Only after studying a particularly thought absorbing depiction of man and wolf hunting deer when she looked up and found that she was not where she started. The girl blinked, her pale eyes looking one way than the other, confused on what way she had come. The girl blinked, sitting down to think for a second.


Kogyn sighed as she came to the conclusion that she was indeed lost, something that happens if she was not careful, and it seemed that the drawings on the wall absorbed her attention so well that she forgot to make sure that she knew the way back. "Well what will I do now?"


The girl thought on it, she could go one way or another, but frankly she was not confident in her ability to find the right way out. She could end up further in and that could spell death to her... Maybe... Kogyn lifted her nose, maybe she could smell the way out. It was at this moment that she wished beyond anything that she had inherited her fathers sniffing skills but no matter how hard she tried all she smelled was damp cave walls.



At that moment Kogyn knew that she was royally screwed. She may never find her way out of the caves no matter how hard she tried...
