Xeris padded slowly toward the place where she had met DaVinci the night before. The sun was high and bright, allowing her to finally get a decent view of the unfamiliar lands. The emerald green grass perfectly complemented the blue, cloudless sky. And yet, Xeris was still somewhat unsure. Where should she go next? Where were the other pack members?
She continued to wander for a while, and soon came upon a sandy beach. She winced slightly as her paws contacted the hot white sand for the first time. It was a calm day, and the waves rolled lazily by in what little wind was present. In the distance she could see an island; she wondered what was there. The wind suddenly blew a bit stronger, and her nostrils were filled with the salty scent of the ocean. She couldn't hide a smile, and, her mood lifted slightly, trotted over to the water and began to splash about among the waves, laughing to herself with joy.
Eventually Xeris got tired of playing on the beach, and began to walk toward a nearby clump of vegetation. A small tree, slightly wet with salt spray, provided some shade. She stretched out her legs and lay down on the soft, warm sand beneath it. Perhaps she had time for a short nap before going to find the others. Or maybe they would find her first. For now, she just focused on the soothing sound of the waves, and looked out over the gentle blue water.
