Arabia

Irritation was burning on her paws as she walked and the ground seemed to come alive beneath her. It was not a pleasant feeling, but the fever was there regardless. Someone needed to find her, but on the other hand what was the purpose of that? Who was she to say that someone needed to help her? The humans had made it very clear — she was an invalid, she was useful for only attacking other dogs and protecting her pathetic human.

Nothing had worked out how she ever would have counted and that was enough to make her frustrated. Being alone in this world was not something the pretty scruffed up dog had ever planned on, and now that was the result.

The park was no place for a wolf. And yet there was a predator in the park. A wolf who wasn't in sheep's clothing. Even a sheep wouldn't have fit in here. It was too domesticated, too human-ized. Today, however, seemed to be one of those days no one was outside. So for now the wolf found herself feeling secure enough to venture into human territory and feel the land of the domesticated.

It was nothing compared to the sites she had seen. While the sites were clouded by her father's influence and she hadn't really been able to see the true beauty, there were still places more beautiful than this. At the time, whenever Vi would see high above the mountains and look down on the land before her, she only saw the -
