Names


The wolf just stared at her, cocking her head slightly. She was again aware of the piercing quality of those sharp, yellow eyes. Bright and unwavering, like two stars in the night. The wolf's lush, gray fur was reminiscent of the moon- she was truly a creature of the darkness.

"How about Luna?" The wolf stared at her for a moment before giving her another slight bow of the head, nodding approval. The wolf made every movement count, clearly not one to waste any energy.

"Alright, I'll call you Luna then. I'm Kaia."

The fire crackled, and she suddenly became aware of how tired she was.

"Well, shall we rest?" It was then that she realized how little she had spoken over the past few days, and how lonely it felt to have no one around her who could talk back.

Luna's only response to the lingering question was to place her head on her paws and blink warily. Kaia took that as a yes and put out the fire.
