She had died.
The moon had fallen, and so too, had she. Almost as if she and the moon had been one.
Being the runt of a large little of five giants, surviving anything combat related had truly never been in Hikari’s cards.
Life and death was a cruel, endless cycle. Life had fooled Hikari into thinking that the end was near; the children had managed to escape during the raid, but it hadn’t been long before they were separated.
Hikari had been captured and slaughtered — not that Hikari had any memory of it. A second life had been granted to her, unknowest to her; having arrived in Canis roughly a year ago, and living under the radar, in waiting.
Someone would come for her. If not her parents, assuming they had somehow made it out alive, her siblings, surely, would find her. So she had waited until it had become apparent that none would come for her.
That included both her family as well as those she had just escaped. It was a mixed feeling that made Hikari uncomfortable. Just to be sure, though, she had remained incognito, within the snowy mountains and terrain of the tundra — until she’d come upon the herd of bison that had many little calves that she could steal from them.
A herd that seemed to be in the middle of a migration of sorts. Even better for Hikari, who had chosen to follow close behind as they lead her deeper into the southern tundra, until they exited into the upper mountains, and through a river, and into the plains.
Their large bodies, and Hikari’s too, became clouded in a mist-like vapor from their body heat, causing the water on their coats to turn to vapor, and giving off a ghostly appearance. She would wait for them to settle in the plains for the night before striking.
It was only a matter of time now.
^^No more than two, please! Please also let @Izumi have the first post.
