Cadmeia stopped dead in her tracks, nearly tumbling over. Where was she? She’d been running for what seemed like forever, but perhaps it had only been a short while. Normally she was so good at paying attention to her surroundings, but the fox pup must have blanked out, for she did not know how she had arrived at this place.
She tentatively took a few steps forward, inhaling deeply to calm herself. What was this smell? It was foreign, yet somehow comforting...is this what she had been searching for? Her eyes gleamed with curiosity and excitement. Cadmeia could feel a stirring in her stomach, like a million little caterpillars were dancing about inside her. She hiccuped. Maybe it was just lunch. But as she crept closer still, the beating inside of her grew stronger and stronger, and she knew it was more than a gastrointestinal reaction. She could sense something - a feeling of acceptance, of guidance.
Cadmeia paused again - she had approached a boundary of some sort, and in her gut, she knew she was not meant to step beyond it. In the distance, she saw someone approaching. Instinctly, she lowered her body and her head in respect, attempting to appear as regal as possible. Perhaps she looked a bit silly, but her intentions remained pure. She knew, somehow, that this approaching figure was a higher being and that she must submit. Thoughts spread through her head like wildfire. She could already feel that she was different from this one, drawing ever closer to her. Was that such a bad thing? Cadmeia averted her eyes and pressed her rounded ears against her head. She didn’t want to be offensive in any way. "Please, give me a chance”, she thought to herself. It felt as though she belonged here. She shivered a little, then tried to compose herself. Cadmeia inhaled deeply, slowed her breathing, and awaited judgement.
