we heal with love,
Her trip to the Veins had unsettled her and the walk back to the Edge had done little to get her mind to calm back down. Too soon did she recognize that sea-side forest rising above her, the crumbled remains of the wall still shining brightly as the Frostfall sun reflected off both it and the snow beneath it. A beautiful piece of craftsmanship, she recalled how proud Kahlua had been when she had shown Alysanne the foundations - when they had completed it. And now, all their hard work - the hard work of individuals that weren’t even part of the herd anymore - was literally crumbling.
Today the wall looked to be more like a prison than a home.
Although she was unable to turn from the herd permanently - she chose to remain outside of that ruined wall for a little longer - turning westward along it and travelling through the woods there, towards the shore. She had never been here before, just on the very edge of the Edge - keeping the wall on her right as she travelled. These woods were so close to her home, separated only by that wall, and yet they were strange to her.
It brought her peace. Hemlock flew around ahead of her - he had hunted in these woods before and was scouting for little mice that might risk the snow to find food. It was harder for him to hunt in the winter without insects to rely on but he managed, growing to be a more cunning hunter the more time that passed. No noises came from him as he moved, silent in the late afternoon forest as he weaved through the trees. A soft sigh escaped from Alysanne’s lips in a puff of cloudy breath as she shook her head. These quiet woods couldn’t hold back her troublesome thoughts forever but at least here she could pretend that everything was fine.
