Kvit had listened to her weird, surreal dream, her brows furrowing with each dollop of information shared. It was different than her first dream, the emotions that tugged at her heart, the voice that narrated a story to her. Everything sort of…hurt.
Though when the choice was ultimately given to Kvit in the emergence of three peculiar doors, a wide-eyed stare bloomed before her features.
A path of the healer, said the voice.
A path of the warrior.
Or a path that would ask everything of her.
If Kvit weren’t 2 months old, then perhaps her paws would have guided her towards the third door. Hell, maybe even the second. But logic reasoned the choice out of her—her paws were too tiny, her legs stumpy and round. She could barely keep all four paws on the ground without tripping over some air.
Fighting would do no one any good.
It would be best to focus on the first door (even if the tree she was born from called out to her with longing and fear).
For you, spooky voice.She declared quickly, as her figure slipped through that first door and entered a world of darkness and frost.
Immediately, she regretted it.
For the way the wind pummeled against her sides, the cold seeping into the very skin that kept her warm, and the darkness that shrouded anything that Kvit could glean. It was awful here.
She hated it.
Although the sound of another voice, crackling with an energy she could not quite place, piqued her curiosity. It seemed…they were helping? Each time their voice fractured the wall of wind and darkening cold, warmth spread through her toes.
Kvit grinned to herself as she pulled a muzzle up to stare at the sky.
Just like she had done with her siblings not days before, she would SING to the sky and howl with all her might.
She was good at it, too.
And maybe this time, she would bring back the sun for Momma.
Kvit howled with every ounce of might she had within her body, hopeful that her song would help heal the world.
