You can't choose what stays and what fades away

It had taken her nearly a year in Alacritis to gain the confidence she needed to venture around freely. When she had set out from her homeland she had thought that she had the skill to get around fine on her own, but no sooner than she had stepped foot in this new land that she had almost accidently walked off a cliff. Luckily she had caught herself and Aki had been there to check on her just in case, but it had all shaken her confidence in her abilities. But now here she was, straying out of the Threar borders again. She liked to think the spar training she had done with Frith had helped her confidence as well. It at least gave her enough knowledge to think she might be able to defend herself if need be. She paid close attention to her surroundings, listening to each sound and taking in each scent while she felt the ground with her paws. The salty smell of the ocean hit her first, followed by that of another wolf. She curiously turned her path toward the scent and the closer she got the more she could hear the sound of wind rushing up against a cliff face. She had been sure to memorize that sound very well last time she had encountered this particular land form. She padded closer to the male till she thought she might be a hand full of feet from him. She waited for a moment to see if he would notice her, but if he did he certainly didn't say anything. Though she did guess it was possible that since she was down wind from him and she moved as quietly as she could at all times that he really hadn't noticed her yet. "Um, yes, excuse me, I'd hate to interrupt this quiet brooding or whatever it is you're doing, but could you tell me if there is a cliff in front of you? I'm pretty sure I hear it, but I'd rather be safe than sorry before I proceed." |
