Le Sigh

Paws carried him towards the edge of the lake, his venture in the North had been somewhat fruitful, but still no sign of his family. It sort of frustrated him, that he had run into one sister and then she seemed to disappear off the face of the planet. Had they all decided to go back home? Or were they hiding themselves away? Spring should have been a promise of new beginnings, but as it was, Aqil was left wandering in his troubled thoughts. Surely he could have found Asali by now, she had been the first to leave and little he little, his other e siblings had trickled off to follow in pursuit.

Evening had begun to arrive, the sunset over the trees quite a sight for him. Lately he hadn't gotten a chance to enjoy it, and that was due to his loneliness. He wanted to share these moments with his family, but where the heck were they!? With a sigh, Aqil chose to sit on the bank. Green eyes full of sadness, his heart feeling heavy. Little by little, the fireflies began to trickle over the lake...but not even they seemed to be able to lift his spirits.
