Turtleback Lake ruins of athena

Each day that passed she tried to move around as much as possible to avoid complacency. The urge to runaway was always strong as there were no lands here that were familiar to the aging dove. Lachesis had chosen a part of the woods that she was quite unfamiliar with but she knew if she didn't venture, she would never want to stay and make roots. So even as she wandered into lands she didn't know, Anastasia was pleased by what she saw. A large body of water with what looks to be islands within -- islands that she wasn't sure she could reach easily but wanted to try. Perhaps not today but it would be nice to see what treasures lies upon the lake's sandy shores.

It was easy to recognize her need for companionship but even now she could tell that Lachesis was different and so was she. Anastasia had wasted a lot of time running when she should have spent it trying to make a future. If anything, she needed to know how to adapt rather than to fly. So the woman breathed in and out deeply before stepping forward into the water so it reached the middle of her legs, water curling around the white tressels of her fur. The tip of her tail soaked within the water as she tried to find the peace she wanted so that staying here confidently would be no issue at all. If only she knew or had reason to try; only then would it be easy.

The weather hadn’t changed much – for the better or for the worse, the young wolf still wasn’t sure – but Little Crow and Big Buzzard had split up (albeit briefly) to stretch their legs and scout out the area. A lake was a high source of traffic, after all, and not exactly the lake the young woman was now looking for, but…well, better safe than sorry, and all that. Make sure no packs were camping out, and they could rest a night or two next to an easy water source before making their next plan.

Well, obviously they’d be heading south, but they’d likely make a few stops along the way.

The young loner yawed, stretching out her long limbs as she woke from her brief (secret) nap, picking herself up to work her way along the lake’s border. A stop for a drink here, a scan for fish there, and Namir was almost enjoying herself when she realized there was a small white wolf wading into the water. She paused, one foot hovering in the air. What should she do?

Brows pulled into a small frown, and Annabird came sharply into the view of her mind’s eye. If she hadn’t helped the woman from the river, she wouldn’t have any of the information she did now…

“Hey, lady! You okay over there?”

There is a deer that was killed by a lynx nearby. +10 Health
