Today was a good day. The sun was bright, the air flowing in a crisp, cool breeze against Keldava;s face as she ran and, for the first time since moving to Arte and for the first time ever on her own, Keldava was outside pack territory. While she hadn't explored everywhere in her home yet Keldava was getting somewhat restless confined in one space, and so she had taken off south about a day ago to see what she could find.
Keldava had well and truly broken out of her funk now that she had finally shifted for the first time. Optime form was completely awesome and in the pups opinion there were very few things better than actually having hands for the first time in her life!
Unfortunately her bipedal form wasn't particularly practical at the moment. Keldava, once again unlike her siblings, was having a lot of trouble adapting to moving about on two legs rather than four and even just walking in her Optime form was a challenge. Secui form, however was just as awesome. That being said even Lupus form had a new sort of allure to it now that she was in it by choice and not because she had no alternative.
But until she got used to her Optime form Secui was definitely her favourite form. Keldava was fairly muscled, certainly moreso than her other female siblings, but her Secui form took this to another level. In her usual forms Keldava felt in fairly good condition, in her Secui Keldava felt positively lethal. Her jaws felt strong enough to break stone, her neck strong enough to wrestle anybody to the ground and her legs powerful enough to propel her forwards forever.
Of course Keldava was over-romanticising her Secui form but the fact remained that with her regular body already decently strong her Secui form was powerful, and fun as hell to run in.
Keldava had been running for what seemed like forever when she suddenly skidded to a halt, literally slipping down onto her hindquarters and skidding forwards in a cloud of dust, as her instincts caught scent of an unfamiliar pack scent and put her into full brake. Now at a stop, a sudden wave of exhaustion passed over her as her adrenaline drained and the consequences of prolonged running in her most energy intensive form raced to catch up with her.
Keldava flopped down into the dirt panting, the thought to change away from her fluffy furred Secui form to let some of the heat disperse not even occurring to her. The foreign pack border, which lay a few metres ahead of her, had completely slipped her mind as she lay there, panting out her exhaustion.
