Dreams Into Reality
Oracle was currently resting, orbs closed as she kept her head on her front paws. Slow, steady breaths left the femme, a certain snowy owl resting against the warm coat of the wolfess. Her tail flicked as Ora dreamed, remembering days when she played upon the beach with her brother, Galahad, and how they had searched for their family. Such distant days... Yet, why did tears slide down Oracle’s face while she dreamed? Even now she missed them, despite all these years...
Silent wings pierced the air, a white form racing through the sky as her shadow fell upon the running wolf below. She hadn't known the alphess for long, but she had begun to form a bond with the Chief. The pair had decided to race each other to a place that Avalon had said was special to her. Once they had arrived at the cove, the snow-bird had left the wolf alone as she went on to find a snack. However, soon she would find tracks that she decided to follow. Where there were tracks, there might be the potential prey no? Only one way to find out!
She went further along for a few minutes longer, the tracks leading her to a cave not far from the beach where her wolf was. She would make a quiet landing on a gnarled tree just outside the cave, beady brown eyes peering in to see if there was anything of interest. Sharp gaze took a moment to adjust to the darkness, and the more she stared, she was beginning to think maybe there was nothing there. Ruffling her feathers with disappointment, she turned around and opened her wings, ready to return to Avalon's side. When suddenly, a shifting sound would stop her. Tilting her head down, she turned back to the cave and peered in again, deciding that maybe she couldn't see it because whatever it was, might be further in. Without hesitation, she glided inside and came to land on a high ledge, and it was then that she would spy a form lying upon the ground. It was another wolf, and interestingly enough, it too had a bird. Yet she also noticed something else about this creature. It was crying. Was she hurt? With a low chortle, she decided she should tell Avalon about this she-wolf, just in case she was injured. Silently, she would leave the cave and make her way back to the beach.
Avalon was sitting in the sand, amber gaze fixed on the water ahead. The wind was calm today, the sea making it cooler here too. As her new companion had gone off of on her own, the alphess would lie down and rest. Eyes closed, the wind brushing through her fur. It seemed she would rest for a few minutes before she felt sand spray over her face. Jolting up, she blinked to find the white bird on the ground, a sharp look in her eyes. "Wha? Is something wrong?" She sat up, shaking the sand from her fur. "Avalon, I believe I found something of interest. There is a cave not far from here, and inside I found a wolfess lying in there. It was too dark for me to see clearly, but I think she might be hurt."
Confusion changed to concern then as the alphess stood up. She knew what cave, it was the one closest to the cove that she used to visit in her younger years. Without a word, she nodded and made her way at a swift pace. Her companion following above. It didn't take long for them to arrive, and when they did, Avalon was cautious while her friend perched in the tree again. Scenting the air, the alphess definitely detected another wolf inside, and for some strange reason...some part of her recognized it. And yet, she didn't. Stepping inside, she peered through the darkness as her claws softly clicked against the ground, ears erect as she looked for the wolf. It didn't take long for her to find it, a shuffling of feathers and fur a beacon to her senses. Stopping several feet from the sleeping form, she stared at it for a long while, the scent wafting all around her in foreign familiarity. Her subconscious knew, and yet....she wasn't too sure. Maybe it was just the darkness playing tricks on her... "Hello? Are you alright?" She wasn't sure what else to ask. She didn't smell any blood, so she wasn't injured right? "Talk" "You" Think |
