that's what's up
Winter was nearing its end, but the girl hardly mourned. After winter came spring, and that would mark the end of her first year of life. Lounging lazily upon a massive boulder, she was nearing the precipice that marked sleep. It was nice up here, and she could see for miles. The view was rather spectacular, in fact. Endless waves of grass rolling softly in the breeze, broken up by the rocks that seemed to have walked up to their spots and simply sat themselves down at random. She liked the idea that some whimsical thing like that had put the boulders there, though she doubted that were actually true. A yawn stretched her maw, alabaster toes flexing as she made a pitiful attempt at stretching. The violet lass was far too comfortable to waste energy on stretching. The lack of snow was a little disappointing, but it was her understanding that snow didn't fall often in the eastern parts of Alacritia. She enjoyed the little flurries that struck here and there, though apparently in the north it fell in huge drifts that could swallow her up without a trace. That would be fun. Provided they didn't actually eat her. That would suck, majorly. Tail tip would flick absently. She'd enjoyed the stroll through the grasslands, especially the part where she'd chased a few mice around. They weren't very filling snacks, but that was of little concern to her at this point in time. Right now, she was wondering about taking a trip. It was a very serious thought that had been waltzing about in the back of her mind, tugging at her mind at odd times. She hadn't seen her sister since her mothers had left her here, and it was beginning to become a real concern of hers. Was Milli okay? Alive? Dead? She didn't know. The only way she could sate her worry was if she took leave from her current home of Fiori to travel back to the site of Arcanum, which she'd learned at some point no longer existed. The idea that was currently playing upon her, and had been as of late, would be to bring her best friend along. Of course, if he so chose to. It might be nice to take a little trip to her old den site, as well. She missed her ebony beach, with its dark sands and cool ocean water. It wasn't anything like the ocean here, it was much harsher. She felt a tug in her heart to go and see it, when spring came about. No need to risk herself in a sudden freak storm. She wanted to find her sister, and close a few of the many doors left open in her mind. Focus was hard to achieve with so many things nagging at you. Yawning broadly again, she laid her head upon her paws. Her duty to her pack came first, she knew that already. She shouldn't be taking some long ass trip back home and jump around the map, when she had things to attend to at home now. Like her training to be a sentry. That was important. Maybe she'd wait until after her training was complete. No, that didn't make sense at all. Growling in frustration, she scowled at the horizon. Decisions like this were really hard to make. She'd have to spend more time thinking on it. |
