 karma's only a bitch if you are Stretched out across the glade, she was soaking up the heat, creamy fur absorbing the energy supplied by the sun. The light gave her an almost ethereal appearance; in its presence, she appeared to glow. She loved the sun. In the cold northern realms of her ancestors, the life-giving sun was an important part of the lifestyles of those who chose to live there. Four months of total darkness and seven months of snow a year made living there difficult, but the other extreme- the three months of 24-hour daylight in the summer- were well worth the hardships of winter. Tianshi missed her home. She missed the cries of the gulls by the sea in the summer; she missed the snorting of the great elk searching for food among the sparse undergrowth. She missed the smell of the forest, which contrasted so strongly with that of the sea. But she was glad she'd left. The wolf she'd been courting had become insistent. Too insistent. Tianshi wasn't ready for pups. She doubted she ever would be. She didn't want to have pups. But her mate-to-be seemed set on forcing her to have some. She'd left when he tried to breed without her consent. Her feelings for him weren't true; she'd only courted him to please her mother. And she'd seen the looks he exchanged with her sister; she was certain she wasn't missed. Which was good, because she genuinely didn't miss them.
