She sat up, her breaths coming in ragged gasps as she tried to steady herself. The haunting images lingered in her mind, but the snowfall around her gradually eased the terror. Disoriented and shivering under the canopy of pines bordering the bay of Winterscar, Theia took deep breaths, the cold air filling her lungs calmed her racing heart.
A loud growl from her stomach reminded her of another pressing issue - she hadn’t eaten in days. Hunger gnawed at her, contributing to her exhaustion. She forced herself to her feet, driving herself towards the lake.
The snow crunched beneath her paws as she made her way to the water’s edge. Leaning downwards, Theia took a long drink, feeling the icy liquid trickle down her throat, replenishing her thirst. Her eyes scanned the water for any signs of fish, hopeful for a catch that would fill her stomach and replenish both her energy and strength.
