Keldava dipped her muzzle downwards in a brief, jerky motion, watching in amazement as a ripple spread across the surface of the eerily still water. Having never really seen a mirror or understood what ice was Keldava had nothing to compare the sight before her to, but she was enthralled all the same.
She was standing at the shore of a large pool of water, somewhat like the sea but much smaller; she could actually see the other side for one thing! The water had one other difference to the sea, it was completely still! Keldava had never seen a large amount of water before apart from the sea and that had been salty and constantly moving; she pure, still water contained in the odd pool was utterly fascinating.
Keldava had come across the wonder while steadily making her way north and back home. Having learned her lesson with abusing Secui form on her way south she had taken her return trip easier, travelling at a more sedate pace and in Lupus form. Exciting as Secui and Optime were Lupus was a form she had lived in all her life so far and she was much more proficient in its use, able to regulate her energy and travel longer distances.
Of course Keldava was still young and a long distance for her was fairly short for another, which is why running so much on the trip south had affected her so badly, but even so she managed to make a decent pace on the return trip.
At least she thought she was making a decent pace. Truthfully Keldava had absolutely no idea where she was, orienting herself against the sun, a skill she was really glad she had picked up, told her that she was heading in roughly the right direction but other than that she was pretty much lost.
Unusually for someone her age this didn’t really bother Keldava. As long as she was finding new things Keldava was happy and she never once lost faith in the fact that she would find her way home. Sure it might take her longer than she expected sometimes but getting lost and finding new things was half the fun of travelling!
Content with her reasoning Keldava dipped her nose back down and went back to enjoying the weird pool
