Short
Neela padded slowly through the forest, nose twitching as she tried to make her way along a half familiar path through scent alone. She had set off for Arte early in the morning and had managed to keep up an average pace, arriving at her current spot around midday. Considering how quickly Neela tired now and how much extra weight was pressing down on her legs from her pup swollen stomach she counted this as a fair achievement.
Eventually the scent of Arte’s borders reached Neela’s nose, a faint flowery smell that Neela was half familiar with from her occasional visits to see Jace. Smiling Neela started to move forwards, her nose twitching as she approached the scent boundary and the smells drifting into her nose got stronger and stronger. Eventually the smells intensified to the point that a boundary was clear; Neela had reached Cercatori D’Arte.
Neela stopped a few metres out from the border, sniffing to check she hadn’t accidentally intruded. Jace was Neela’s friend and she doubted she would attack her for an accidental intrusion of a meter or so but it was polite to make sure she hadn’t. Satisfied she hadn’t broken the boundary by accident Neela reared her head back and howled, sending a melodious tone echoing out over Arte’s lands, calling specifically for Jace.
