high hopes gone cold - ifyla - June 20, 2018

Her name was Ifyla, she was at least sure of that. All facts beside that, she had no idea. She didn't know her history, her location, how she got there--none of it. She felt like a newborn just recently named, except she knew it had been a long time since she had been born. As the fogginess of her mind began to fade, she discovered another fact: her head hurt like hell. Groaning softly under her breath, the Ethiopian wolf put her shaking legs under her body and lifted herself up, studying her surroundings with careful goldenrod eyes.

She was in a field of pale, yellowish stalks of grass. It was high enough to reach her hackles, and she looked at it in distaste when she discovered it found all the best places to rub her pelt the wrong way. She yawned, then stretched herself to relieve the tension in her tingling limbs. The sun shown on her immaculately groomed rust-orange pelt, especially when she shook any debris from it. Snapping her jaw a few times simply to feel the click of her teeth as they collided, Ifyla eyed the blue sky above her.

The sky was a deep blue, fading slightly toward the horizon on all sides of her. The sun shone brightly, a beacon of yellowish-white blinding light. Averting her eyes from the ball of fire, Ifyla once again observed the field she was in. Gently, slopes rose and fell on occasion disrupting the otherwise monotonous field of tall grass. Deciding that she wanted to see what else her new location had to offer, the female broke into a quick trot, the grass parting around her as she traveled through the field in search of something, anything that might give her a clue as to who she was or where she was.

Dominix’s eyes flickered open,his nose wrinkled and his lips raised to reveal pearl white teeth. Who has awakened me! Dominix thought. He looked around and out of the corner of his eye he saw a blur of gold and black. His eyes shot like an arrow to the sight. Dominix’s eyes widen and his lips lowered. Wolves? Here? He jumped up ran towards the creature.
“Hey! Hey hold on!” He yelled.
His metal front paws made a loud clanking noise when they hit the grassy ground. Not ideal for running, or hunting. Yet he somehow managed to catch more that enough prey to feed him and the ravens.
Day by day the ravens came. Ate. Left. And the system repeated for several moons. Until one little raven decided to stay, and at this moment it lay still on his head jerking its wings around. The raven hadn’t moved for a while.
