Walk into the Sun

It was a summer day. The sun had broken through the almost constant coverage of clouds, and through the holes a blue sky could be seen. The air was warm, but the ocean’s breeze cut through it easily. For a few moments she felt the blaze of the sun, the heavy air and the heat that surrounded her like an unwanted blanket. Then the next moment her ears would be filled with the sound of the ocean, and her fur prickled as the water driven breeze picking up the tide’s cool temperature and casting against her and the coastline. Mati had found herself clinging to the manor, those that she wished to be around were seemingly always there and Mati found satisfaction in being close to them. But she needed to break away, to give herself a few moments and enjoy some refreshing alone time.

Such a need brought the female south, towards the shore. But instead of frolicking on the beach Mati had traveled through the Trenches and in the direction of the rocky coast. Violet eyes looked out into the clear horizon. It was frightening, how far the ocean actually traveled. Even on the small cliffs that battled the constant onslaught of the sea she could see the endless waters. The castle was not something that could sneak up on her, the peaked roofs easy seen from miles away. Mati's travels were slow, lazy and yet she lingered closer to the old statuesque building. When the wall came into sight she no longer meandered but drew closer with a meaningful pace.

In the daylight there was not very frightening. She imagined that late at night the place would be covered in shadows and quite scary. But from the outside and in the light of the fresh day the Dreamer saw nothing too intimidating about it. A doorway, arched and built out of the wall, was the only opening she could see for some ways along the barrier. The old wooden door was only splintered remains and hinges as she passed beyond it and into the large courtyard.
