This is Long Overdue! (Closed)

[Deleted]

Nerah had wanted to explore this land since she was an occult and unable to do so comfortably. She didn’t know why she had waited until now to finally do it, or to explore much of the world beyond what she had seen last year. The tragedies of the past had made her crave home more than exploring, perhaps, or she had simply forgotten, only to be reminded of the desire just a few moments ago. It wasn’t far from home, but she had teleported anyway, just to see if she could make it in one try. Turned out, she could. That made her happy, as it meant she was getting better at teleporting with the difficulties autumn brought.

Now, the large, multi-colored canine was padding along the sand lining one of the lakes, staring into the water. It was pretty – the scenery and the wildlife. She especially liked the fish, and considered trying to catch one before deciding that they were too big to hunt. It wouldn’t be a problem hunting a land creature that size, but hunting in the water was a different thing entirely.

There was just one thing bugging her. The place seemed empty of intelligent species. She could understand the occults staying away – the water would be too much for them. Still…it was a beautiful territory. Didn’t anyone want it? Surely she wasn’t the first to discover this place.
