WC:: 546 I am open to any plot ideas, light pp, etc. Just hit me up on AIM or PM me...you can also find me in chat most of the time.

It had been two weeks since Palaydrian ventured into unknown territory and found New Dawn’s borders, 5 days since her run in with the rabbit trap and Ahiga, and 2 days past her run in with Jiva’s potential lover. Needless to say, the tawny gold wolf had more than enough on her plate already and she hadn’t even met all of her new pack mates yet! After her run in with Jiva, Zalen, and Emma, the girl needed another break from the packlands. She had lingered around the lands a few hours after, but her head was spinning with the thought of potential love triangle brewing.

Drin had been exploring the northwestern territories hugging New Dawn borders and a little bit further for the past two days. A part of her itched to retrace her steps back to her old homelands, but she was mature enough to recognize that it was the irrationally scared child in her that was making her stir crazy. The past two days of clearing her head had borne into her the confidence she needed to stand her ground in New Dawn with or without Jiva. She wasn’t going to allow another female to run her off her own lands again. And though her heart ached for the red-furred wolf, she was prepared for the worst. The pessimism she had grown accustomed to on her journey to the fabled Bleeding Souls lands hadn’t released its chokehold on her yet.

The early afternoon found Drin laying out in the grass belly up to the sky. The Siamese coated wolf had taken a dip in the bay earlier and was thawing out the chill in her limbs and drying off her freshly washed bandages. She was wrestling with the idea of turning back toward New Dawn today or journeying further. She ultimately chose to explore the highlands more after she shifted back into her optime form to wrap the sundried bandages around her right wrist. She was no medic, but she was happy with the work she managed with her left hand. “Just a few more days,” she said to herself as she gently explored the range of motion in her injured wrist.

Choosing to stay in her optime form, a rarity as she was still self conscious about it, the tawny gold femme pushed herself off the ground with her good paw and continued heading west. Drin hadn’t traveled far when her keen nose alerted her to the presence of someone new. She hesitated, muzzle pointed upward tasting the air. The stranger didn’t smell like wolf or coyote, perhaps this was a different canine hybrid she had only heard stories about. Instincts called for her to shift back to her natural state, but movement from the far top of the hill caught her eye.

No use shifting now as she was in some sort of small valley and her movements could be easily tracked. Drin still approached with caution as the stranger seemed to be occupied. If she remained downwind she’d still have some sort of element of surprise, but a sunny day is never sans wind in the highlands and soon enough her scent would carry over to the canine.
