Drabble Challenge: Day 4

    Look who is keeping up rather well. I am quite proud of myself right now. Besides that I have a book and a chapter to read for school stuff. 

    OHMYGOSH, Netflix has Upside Down. The movie. With the star-crossed lovers or whatever it was. And it's a Friday. And we should be able to watch it.

    Allow me to now proceed to rush through this post.

    Drabble Challenge: Day 4 - snowflake

    Word Count: 286     Minimum Goal: 240

    It never ceased to amaze her. How one snowflake upon another could create the snowdrifts that unfortunate travelers such as herself had to wade through.

    Vena stopped to take a breath, knee deep in snow and starting to feel its effects. She still had quite a ways to Dunlark and even though it was only mid-afternoon, the sky was starting to darken with more clouds, ones that looked more than a little foreboding and almost certainly promising more snow.

    At least it wasn’t wolf season. They tended to move down south to the valleys during the winter months, and that was the only reason she was out here on her own. Last year, there’d been a peddler’s caravan headed towards Dunlark as well and she’d been able to hitch a ride with them.

    No such good fortune this time.

    Running a hand through the loose strands of her hair, Vena trudged on, humming a simple melody she’d picked up a few weeks ago to keep herself occupied. Memory was serving her well and she was able to follow the trail up the mountainside with relative ease.

    The mindpath’s brows creased as she skirted around what felt like a large boulder. There was something n the wind these days that she didn’t understand. A whisper of danger for her kind. She didn’t know where it’d come from, and it wasn’t very strong, but sometimes a feeling would crawl down her spine. 

    A strong breeze blew past Vena and brought an eerie sound with it, one that even she had the better sense to stay away from.

    The deep bay of a Greater Wolf on the hunt.

    And where there was one, there were sure to be more.

    By the way, did I mention that my drabble series, by the definition Penny provided, is going to break the rules for drabbles? Just as a warning. These are going to get progressively longer as the days slip past. (So long as I can keep up.)

    And no, she does not get eaten by wolves. 

    Ad astra per aspera.

    To the stars, through difficulties.
