mine too ya know...

Iskata was still cold and bitter, but right now she wasn't out to blame everyone else.. she just wanted answers why and she knew theywould never come. She'd left Laruku in the middle of the woods she'd found him and had just drifted across the lands not really thinking what she was doing or where she was going. two days had passed since she'd left the smells of the decaying forest, but she wasn't really sure if she remembered those days. She just wanted her happy ending back, but she knew she couldn't glue all the pieces together, because no matter how she tried it wouldn't be the same again. She shook her head and closed her eyes for a moment before actually opening them, really opening them for the first time.
The first thing she saw was the ocean before her, the scents of the sea swelling around her as she tried to gage which way might take her back to her deep dark forest where happiness didn't matter, she finally gave up trying to figure it out and just walked on down the shore. The winds whipping across her pelt brought all sorts of scents to her, but one of the ones that caught her attention almost made her sob as she jerked her head up and looked around.
She would know that scent anywhere, the scent of her own child. No sight of another anywhere and yet she stretched her legs out as she scattered sand and shells up on the shore, the words torn from her maw as she yelled. Ember! She didn't want to believe, she didn't want to get her hope up.. but she couldn't stop herself. She wanted her world back.. and just one small piece, though it would never be enough, she'd take.
