A Silver Ray Of Hope

Her thin, gray and black marked form moved across the beach with light, quick steps. Ever since her run in with that green woman she had realized that there was a whole new world of plants and herbs that she hadn't even begun to explore! Now that she knew it was possible to plant and grow her own herbs she had begun to explore the far reaches of Alacritia to find herbs she had never seen before for her to study. Her wide, observant, mismatched gaze searched the shore and the tree line, her head sweeping from side to side in her search. Not only had she set herself out on this mission, she also wanted to get away from her father for a bit. Ever since her mother had disappeared, along with Regulus and Faite soon after, he had done little more than lay in a depressed heap in the den. She was almost positive that if she didn't bring him pieces of food he would have let himself starve to death. He was blind, making it almost impossible for him to help with the hunting anyway, even if he had wanted to. She sighed as she thought about it, the thought making her very, very sad. Suddenly though a scent was brought to her on the breeze and she froze in her tracks. The scent was intimantly familiar and it was one that she had honestly begun to think she would never smell again. The young girl's heart leapt up into her throat and her eyes searched frantically for its source. Luckily her brother was so huge and so brightly colored that he was easy to spot. They were crossing the land bridge, moving right toward her. Her mouth dropped open and for a moment all she could do was stare in disbelief. "Momma...? Regulus....?" Her steps were slow at first as she began to move toward them and they quickly picked up into a full out sprint. ""Momma! Reg!" she called out, tears pooling in the corners of her eyes and streaming back into her fur while she ran. She skidded to a halt in front of them when she noticed how frail her mother was and how she was leaning into her brother. She wanted to throw her legs around their necks, but she wouldn't risk hurting her. Her rump wiggled with excitement and joyful tears stained her cheeks. "It's you! You're really here! You're okay!" |
