Days turned into nights, and nights into weeks. Icarus wasn’t sure quite how long he had been traveling and honestly he couldn’t remembered which way was where. He was sure it had only been a few days since he had left the Pitt, the scent of the group still clinging to his fur but he had faded heavily. He had barely eaten during the last couple of days, his appetite gone as his mind screeched at him for leaving. His stomach growled at him yet he continued to ignore it, choosing to carry on the path that honestly he wasn’t sure if it was leading him to somewhere.
After a few more days of wandering he finally caught the scent of a group nearby. He stopped in his tracks, head lifting as he peered around him to try and find the trail. Once he had the scent again he trotted off towards the group, stopping once he reached the border of the swampish area.
He lifted a paw and hovered it over the border, his heart pounding as he stared out into the group’s territory. Was this something he really wanted to do? Did he truly want to join another group? What if he was just cast aside again, left to rot and be forgotten about? Or what if he finally found what he longed for here, the thing he so desperately needed? It was a risk he had to take and one he was determined to take.
So with that thought in mind he placed his paw down, a shiver racing down his spine. He padded over the border, moving to settle down in a spot as he waited for the approach of others.
