~Optime form~ Alrighty here we go. ~Word Count 360~
Mabu looked on at the huge structures before her. She frowned, confused for a second at what this facility had been used for. Thinking for a second, a light seemed to go off in her head as she remembered the stories she use to read from salvageable books she found and her mentor’s explanations. This had once been an airport? Where others had once used great contraptions to fly like birds? Mabu began to feel giddy at finding such a place and began to glance around to see where she would explore first.
Even though Mabu had been in cities before, she hadn’t ever been in one of the larger ones to see an airport. Most of the cities she had scavenged in had been “small towns” and never had an airport. Deciding to tread further in, she was rather eager to see what she could find. Maybe she would find some cool things to trade with or maybe even keep. Walking through the tall grasses, Mabu kept her eyes out for anything particularly nasty. These old structures were usually littered with dangerous debris, snakes, and weaken structures. So she really would have to be careful so as to not agitate whatever was left of the structure of these buildings.
It was times like this, exploring, that she remembered her mentor, companionship at its best. Those were the times she hadn’t traveled alone. Times she had someone to talk to, joke wish, and care for. Now Mabu loved helping others, it’s what she lived for…but she also missed the companionship of other canine. She sometimes even began to consider joining a pack, but she…was holding back. Her first pack, the one she had been born to had been wiped out by disease, leaving her the only survivor. Her mentor had also been pack to her, a surrogate father that taught her everything he knew, he too had passed on. She feared that if she joined a local pack, she’d loose them too some way or another. Oh how she wished she had her mentor with her now. She could use someone to talk to as she explored this new area.
