Through those times you are gone
You won’t do this alone
The jaguar mare is silent as she prowls beside Heartfire towards the sandy beaches of Nerine. While they walk, her thoughts are not on the journey. She shuffles through memories like playing cards, realizing that the world had changed so much that nothing has looked familiar since she had left the field. So lost in thought, she doesn’t realize that her companion has halted and she takes a few more steps forward before finally stopping herself.
Before her lays the coast, golden sand that stretches and bends and she knows that she’s only seeing a small portion of the kingdom. Turning to her right, golden eyes narrow as she takes in the endless ocean. Gazing far off into the line of the horizon. The only beach she had ever known were the black sands that held bones and the decaying. This was so different and she’s never really seen the ocean. It seems so foreign to her after living so long close to land, in the heart of foliage and tangled trees. Could she get use to this place, so unlike the jungle? Could she call Nerine home?
The air is cooler here, nothing like the humidity that had once made her dappled coat slick and dewy. She has forgotten Heartfire behind her, her voice reminds her that she is not alone and she merely gives a slight toss of her skull. Not knowing what to say. A pregnant pause as she considers the curving cliffs that look over the beach before regarding her once more. ”It is… Different. But different can be good.”
Another glance around before her golden gaze focuses into hers. ”More importantly, where are it’s people?”
