D'Neville

It had snowed two days ago, but now the world was warm again. It was the dying throes of summer, Myrika knew -- they would not see weather this warm until next spring. Now, however, the world might have passed for spring. The sound of running, dripping water permeated everything as the light snow cover melted away to water, which ran down in rivulets. Myri assumed the caves would be damp and unpleasant about now; all the wood of her old schoolhouse had swelled with the water, and it smelled of a particularly sour dankness Myri could not identify.

That was why, at this afternoon hour, she'd chosen to take a walk. Eira was in the D'Neville gardens now, anyway, and she thought perhaps the mansion itself would be slightly drier and slightly more pleasant. Upon arriving at the mansion, however, the hybrid had detoured to the back gardens. Even in this latest hour of summer, they were still green. It was a withering, deathly green, but it was beautiful all the same. The coyote meandered along the cracked stone paths, once overgrown and trimmed back only by coyote and horse use.

At some time or another, canines had felled trees from various parts of the garden. Before the guest house, there was one particularly large stump Myrika knew of. She found it easily enough and settled back on it, intending to soak up the last of the sunlight. It would get cold with the dark, and she would be driven inside. That was alright, though. She could visit the old woman or any of the other acquaintances she'd made in the pack, and they would fill her night rather than the dreary loneliness of the Great Village. Most of the time, Myri quite liked her little schoolhouse, but there were some when it was just unbearable. She suspected tonight would be just such a night.
