The Captains course continued to be vaguely northward, though speckled with swerves to and fro, as he followed his own whim wherever it led. He had had no set goal in returning to Relic Lore, other than the hope of running into his brothers on their own adventures, and so had simply chosen Hearthwood as a guidepost, to have something to head towards; stopping by the pack lands seemed like an interesting enough idea, for old times sake. But there was no haste in his journey, nor any real eagerness to reach the giant woods of Kingsfall – it would be there whenever he got to it, he was sure of that.
Today though, he had no intend on shortening that distance! Around dawn, he had reached the banks of Turtleback Lake, a broad grin on his face as he took in the splendid sight beneath the sunrise; This is more like it! What better place could there be, for a seasoned pirate. Once he’d filled himself to the brim with the impression, he sought out a place to hunker down, soon enough finding a protected little nook to rest his paws and regain his strength; he would need it, come sunset.
And so it was, that as the light passed behind the mountains to the west, Kyrios jumped into the lake, yowling joyously as the icy water enveloped him. It was a dangerous game, swimming out into open water, which was cold enough to make his muscles cramp at any moment, which was exactly why he was doing it; What’s the fun without a little daring? Still, he was smart enough not to linger, and set a swift course for the nearest island, jutting out of the azure spray.
In the end, it was not a moment too soon when his scrambling paws struck rock, a constant shiver running all the way down his spine as he dragged himself out of the waves. One hind leg felt dangerously tight, but the daredevil offered it no worry. Instead he grinned wolfishly, shaking out his fur with vigorous energy, before letting an excited howl sound to the sky; I live!
