LAST SACRIFICE (PIPMAN)
She'd left the icy woods and the refuge that being with Drashiel provided to explore- and to think. Her paws had lead her towards Southern Alacritis, towards lands she had yet to explore. She moved with little care, her body relaxed and she paid little attention to the outside world- rather her mind was focused nearly completely on her own mental chaos. She didn't notice that breathtaking beauty that she passed or the vile abominations of nature that she passed. The world was a dull roar around her, and to one looking at her- she almost appeared glazed, as if one could physically tell that she wasn't mentally there. She kept walking until her paws stepped into a pool and she paused- mostly from shock. Her ears flattened slightly, and she stepped backwards, giving the world around her a confused look. "-the hell am I?" she muttered aloud.
She let out a disdainful sniff and turned away from the puddle- her tail waving in the air behind her. It wasn't the first time, that being lost in her mind had led her to wander off. She eyed the world around her, noting a space where the sunlight filtered in from the trees, and she padded towards it. Circling once, she slowly sank to the ground- her head coming to rest on her paws. She enjoyed the feel of the sunshine on her back, it warmed her- and grounded her back to the physical world. "At least there isn't any damned snow." She breathed, a soft smile flickering at her jaws.
A soft breeze ruffled her fur, bringing with it a scent of another. She lifted her head and let out a light rueful sigh. She glanced around her- waiting for the stranger to show themselves. |
