She hadn't ventured so close to the foothills in years. She had always loved coming down to the beach and watching the water when she'd been one of the leaders of Shadowed Sun. But it was so easy to forget everything, especially those things that made her happy, when she was so hellbent on revenge. It hurt to know what she'd lost and too, what she was giving up for this plan. She knew it was worth it, so she bore the pain with her head and tail held high because she knew it was the right thing to do. But she also knew that allowing herself a bit of happiness was acceptable as well.
As she considered these things, she thought about her recent encounter with Jazper. At first she hadn't recognized him, but after a bit of discussion, she eventually came to remember him. He'd been a small, sickly pup and she remembered him as a child; certainly not a grown man.
She yawned and then stretched her limbs. First, she stood up. Then, she leaned back, sticking her bum in the air and stretching her forelegs. She yawned again, stretched her back by arching up, and then shook her pelt. With that, she trotted toward the water. She dipped a toe in the water and quickly jumped back. It was, as expected, freezing. She let out one quick laugh and then turned to leave.
