i've been changing

It didn't take long for the darkness she stared into to change colors, molding itself to match her thoughts.  She saw the very lands she considered, those that had once belonged to the pack Narfi called "Arcanum."  She pictured the rolling plains, which she was sure would be lush once the last of the winter snow melted away into spring.  She pictured the foggy alien structures they had happened upon when they first arrived.  But as she imagined herself and her twin living there, the vision shattered and darkness returned.

A sudden, frantic rustling drew her head up immediately from the crevice.  Her head and green eyes immediately snapped toward the sound, and she caught sight of a male about the same size as her scrambling to regain his footing.  She watched him with her head tilted to the side as he saved himself from certain death, then turned to notice her.  It was then that Phim took him in and noticed his similar coloring, the diamond mark on his forehead, and his startling mismatched eyes.  He smiled and acknowledged her, commenting on the depth of the ravine, and she couldn't help but giggle.

"Yes," she responded through her laughter.  "It does appear to be quite deep.  I'm glad I didn't just witness your death.  Good save."  She took a few steps toward him, closing the distance so that they stood only a few feet apart.  "I'm Phim, it's nice to meet you," she introduced herself with a smile.
