We were both young
When I first saw you
Bright blue eyes gazed about as she padded carefully though the forest. She had heard stories of this place, but never had she gone so far in from the dens or the Great Planes. The trees were thick, the bark dark and no grass grew. The biggest wolves had a hard time manovering, but not her. No, her lithe frame easily zigzagged between the trunks of the tall pines and tan fur blending in with the dappled light. If anything, this was her element.
She had excaped from the castle for the night, away from the Istari and the Alchemists. Away from the tense world and into the solidarity of the forest. She searched for someone, one whom she wished to see more than her magical comrades and ever-serious guards. More than the cold King and the febble Prince. She searched for him, the one wolf she worried about day in and day out since the disappearances began to occur.
The little Istari had met him long before she knew of her desire to weild the elements. Their friendship she kept a secret. She was far too young to be thinking of males, of mateship. In this society, it was frowned upon. And she had her future to think about too.
Though they were both the same rank, she hardly saw him on a daily basis, both under different mentors. Yet they met whenever they could get away. To practice their craft alone without the sneering of their peers. Every second with him she loved, adored, no matter how frowned upon it was. She continued to move her lithe form through the trees, looking about for something....anything that could either keep her mind off of him, or to find him amongst the tree trunks.I closed my eyes
and the flashback starts..
