Of the many places she had been in the recent days, Serena Reserve and Shiloh Hills had become her favourite places to frequent. The lake in the hills was so calming and peaceful; she was constantly returning to the place she had met Anu. Serena Reserve, too, held a sort of melancholy quietness, but was a serene, cheerful place nonetheless. Tayui was unsure how she might explain this paradox, but she truly hoped no one would ask.
She smiled quietly to herself as she made her way through the reserve, heading east so she would soon cross into Shiloh Hills. The wind whispered, impatiently and with a degree of ferocity she had not heard in days. Indeed, these lands were tranquil; she felt so at ease here.
Watch the skyscrapers as they melt away
She had not been there long, however, it did not take too much time for one to notice the high presence of elk in the reserve. It seemed as though the creatures had flourished, unperturbed by the changes the world had gone through, and restricted only by wire and fencing. In fact, the creatures seemed quite content, if a little skittish (for Tayui suspected they were not used to encountering wolves), seeming to sway from docility to apathy to curiosity to fear. The last came soon enough, and the reason was obvious; it seemed as though other wolves had begun to take advantage of their large population, for she had come across the remains of an elk, strayed about on the ground. It had been picked apart by the wolves and then the scavenging animals that followed, however, the kill was fresh enough for Tayui to be able to claim some of it for herself. It had been yesterday that she had found the elk, and was still feeling quite satisfied from the meal. She had managed to catch a rabbit earlier that morning as well.Of the many places she had been in the recent days, Serena Reserve and Shiloh Hills had become her favourite places to frequent.
