Since the day the Foothills had fallen, Kimber had roamed. At first she hadn't traveled far beyond her prior home, lingering in the nearby meadows and forests as she'd watched over Kaiden as he'd begun to grow. As he got older, larger, stronger, she'd led him farther and farther west. West, toward the Edge, where she knew her mother and little sister were. Where Aaron and Madryn and Maskan had gone. Where the mysterious Mirage reigned, that strange and enticing figure so briefly seen the day her mother had departed from the Foothills.
Until, at last, she stood beneath the outermost boughs of the Edge's border. At her left stood the semi-translucent figure of a fox wrought all of water. At her right stood the smaller, multi-tailed figure of Kaiden, barely capable of restraining himself from eagerly exploring his new surroundings. Anxiously Kimber stood silent at first, blue eyes scanning the shadows beneath the alien trees, ears twitching as she listened to the distant, whispering rush of the waves against sheer stone.
She took a deep breath to steel herself, fending off the tiny voice in her head that suggested she might not be welcome despite her ties of family and friendship, and called out to any who might be able to hear. She wanted a home, somewhere safe to live, though she still felt a tug within her to travel back east.
