Taking a deep breath I crossed over the safety of Saw Tooth's borders. This was the first time I'd every left my home. Well, besides the den I resided in when we lived at the mating dens. Even then though, I never traveled far from home. I usually hated the thought, but today everyone seemed too close. I also didn't want to be in the den that reminded me of my walk out parental unit. In truth I was feeling claustrophobic in a big area. When had Saw Tooth become my unbearable prison?
My head stayed in its usually position, low and magnetic to the earth. I was a little more on edge than I usually was today, but then again when wasn't I? Don't get me wrong I loved every single one of my siblings and my hard working mother, but adult hood was nearing. It was time I left and explored, I was ready for it. Hesitantly I put one paw in front of the other. Not having any clue where I was headed. At this point I didn't care and then I went to a trot. Letting my mind go blank and my ebony stilts took me where they pleased.
After an hour or so I apparently reached my destination. The sweet smell of a lake crawled up my nares and I couldn't help, but walk towards the body of water. I walked so close that a wave caressed my front paws; causing me to jump from being startled. After this action of surprise I welcomed the waves as they tried to pull me in. A light smile crossed paths with my face, this place wasn't so bad. With a sigh I laid on the muddy bank of the lake and had my eyes contently watching the waves dance.
Quietly
