He should have known better. Nothing good ever lasted forever. After countless days of no one returning, everyone vanishing without a trace, he couldn't take it any more. Just couldn't take the faint scents of those that had been there, couldn't take the deafening silence that rang out across the island. He had to get out of there, it was time to leave. But he had noticed that he wasn't alone out there in this cruel world.
The faint scent of that dark brown female caught his attention, and he tried hard to keep pace with her. But she was faster and more capable of great agility then he was. And it didn't take long for him to lose her. So the black beast wandered off alone, trying to seek out a new living for himself. But hoping that maybe one day, he would run into her again. Even attempt at getting her name. It was a task he was prepared for, but knew it would take some work to gain her trust. That was if she even wanted him around.
The afternoon sun broke through the vast forest, coming in and raining down on him with a soft warmth. It felt so different, so strange to be back on the mainland again. After an entire season being cut off from the rest of the world, there came a time when he had forgotten what it was like to be out here again. Perhaps moving further north could help him figure out his next move. The scent of deer moved through the underbrush, whispering to his nose from the trees. It was a mouthwatering temptation, one that he couldn't pass up.
So he decided to start attempting to track them down, taking his sweet time and not rushing the process. Each paw was placed carefully across the forest floor, careful not to roll around any debri or rocks as he walked. The sun still lit his way through the forest, taking care to help him along his journey. The thought of a good meal and a good night's rest called to him like a parent to a child. Just a little further now. You will get there. A simple sentence that he kept telling himself, and nearly forcing himself to believe.
