Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
Tymeria padded softly through the trees around the mini waterfall, heading towards the pool that the water created. She sat down in front of it and lapped it up noisily, quenching the thirst that had been plaguing her all day. After she'd had her fill, she lifted her head and looked around, listening for the sounds of others, but she heard nothing. The water had stilled, showing her a clear reflection of herself. A pair of haunted purple eyes shone out of a thin face, with thin ebony black fur glinting wet around her muzzle, so like her lost brother's, Kaydin.
She stared wistfully into the water, images of her brother flitting through her mind: his easy grin, his twinkling eyes, his pleasant nature. The first man she'd ever trusted, and, knowing her, probably the last. She doubted anyone but family would ever come to love her, and even her family got annoyed at her, even soft-spoken Kaydin, who almost never got mad at anyone. It was her fault he was dead. All her fault. She swiped her paw angrily at the water, breaking the reflection, and turned her back on it, wondering where she should go next. She felt so lost without him...
