The Beginning of Greatness

The moment she woke up she knew something was different. Something felt... off. Off, but somehow not bad. She blinked open her eyes and tried to analyze the slowly building burn in her gut and the sudden change in her scent. Pulling herself up onto her paws she padded toward the entrance of the caves she and Lel had been calling home for months, every step seeming to make that burning worse. Jian whined softly as she leaned against the cave wall a few feet from the entrance, peering into the bright sunlight. Lel was nowhere to been seen, but she certainly hoped he wasn't far. She knew well enough that he went off on his own from time to time, but he always came home to her so she didn't question him too harshly. He was her brother, her lover, the center of her life. He could really do anything and they both knew she would never leave him. But right now she needed him and he wasn't by her side.

She suddenly realized what was wrong with her. She was in heat for the first time in her life and Lel wasn't here. She whined again, the sound louder and more desperate than the last. Her claws scratched softly at the rocky ground under her paws as her musky scent filled the cavern and she looked pleadingly out into the trees. Where could he be? Several minutes passed by before she finally let out a howl, her voice a melodic, desperate song meant only for her brother's ears.
