I'll paint you a picture you can't resist
Winter was just around the corner. Which meant so was her birthday. 1 year. Since the time of her birth she had grown substantially. She nearly stood at her full height of 30 inches. She was still lanky but was slowly filling ouut. Dark gray pelt had lost its puppy fluff, turning into a lush thich coat. Emerald orbs still rimmed in light gray scanned the new territory. She had never ventured so far from home before. But she managed to get away unnoticed. The earth faded from the dying green grasses into frigid hard ice and snow. Cold wind whipped her pelt around, causing the dame to shiver. She was not accustomed to the frigid temperatures found here. Lifting her skull, she inhaled, curious to know what was around her. She didn't want to stumble across another pack. Desdemona had made it clear that they all had to behave. But where was the fun that? Regardless, she had remained careful during her exploration.
Eyes landed, pausing her steps, on a strange looking barrier. It towered over her, blocking her view of what was on the other side. She approached slowly, one paw extending to touch it. Nails stratched the hard surface, but nothing happened. Jumping up on hindlegs, she rested both paws against the cold surface, looking up. She'd never be able to see of the top. Placing all four paws back on the ground once more, her brows furrowed. She walked a few paces along the wall, curiousity getting the better of her. Audits twitched in all directions, listening to the sounds around her. She didn't want to get caught by a stranger so far from home, all by herself. Looking up once more, a bark slipped from inky lips, echoing around her. |
