A Short Visit [Korra]

[SORA :D]

I chuckled a little, and smiled. "Make a wish" I said, closing my eyes, and making my own.

(I hate that this post was so short, promise that this will be the shortest.)

A small smile spread across my face at Korra's words. I was reminded of my cubhood days, and my parents laying on either side of me on a warm summer night as the first stars brightend the sky. My mother touched my paw and told me to make a wish on the first star I saw and it would come true; as long as I didn't tell anyone what it was. I closed my eyes now, remembering that first wish - to one day have a family as full of love as we were. I wondered if that wish would come true one day, or if my father's leaving us when I was six months old would taint that wish or curse me to be left as well. I refused to dwell on those thoughts, though. No, I would focus on the good things in my life right now. My best friend Korra, those two precious cubs of hers, and even Winks. And most of all, the hope of a future with a love of my own, cubs of my own.

What was my wish tonight? I wish Korra happiness. I could have wished a hundred things; to meet my future mate, to have lots of healthy, happy cubs of my own...but more than anything, I just want things to be okay for Korra when I left. I opened my eyes, noting that it was already getting darker. "I'm going to miss you when I go back," I told my best friend, smiling sadly.

[SORA :D]

With my eyes closed, and my heart in the moment, I silently picked my star, and made my wish. Let Asali find her way. She needs to know that's she on the right path. I slowly opened my eyes, and began to recal how she met Asali. It was almost dark, and I was pregnant with Tamara and Royal, Winks was no where to be seen, and I was lost. Asali was the only one around to show me kindness. I dodnt even know her, not even a little. She took me into her den, let me sleep, and then went on to be a second mom to my cubs. She was portably a better mom than I could ever hope to be...

"Me too." I answered back, a new found happiness in my voice. It was like I was born again, but what had happened? Why was I now feeling so...happy? So alive again?

The tone of Korra's answer caused me to smile more sincerely. It was like my wish was being granted immediately. She sounded happy, and that made me feel happy in return. Things would be okay, I was sure of it now. I grinned at my friend and then sighed, looking back at the stars. Things had changed so dramatically since I had met my best friend. "How did we get here?" I wondered out loud. My voice was merely a whisper, and I wasn't sure if Korra had heard it, but it wasn't really a question anyway. I didn't need an answer. I was content now, though still sad. I could feel how late it was and I turned to Korra somewhat unwillingly, knowing what the morning would bring, but afraid that I would fall asleep here if we didn't head to her den. "I suppose we should get some sleep, huh?" I asked her with a crooked smile.

[SORA :D]

How did we get here? I asked myself over and over again. Asali had wondered it out loud, and now Iwas asking myself the same question. A happy accedent was what brought us together. I said to myself, feeling content with my answer. Had I not been wondering at that time, had Winks not been away, we would never have met, and I would have never felt the joy of having her in my life. Asali looked at me, and Suggustions that we be heding back to my den. I looked at the ground, then back up, and reluctantly agreed. I wanted to just lay here, and look at the stars, look at them twinkle, and shoot across the sky...maybe I could count them, spend the hole night adding every star together, and finding how small, and little I was compared to the rest of everything.

It didn't take long for me to fall asleep when we arrived at the den. I hadn't realized just how tired I was until my stomach touched the ground. Perhaps it was the stress of the decisions I had been having to make lately. "Goodnight...Korra..." I said sleepily as I rested my head on my paws. As I drifted off, memories of the past floated around in my head. The young cubs, playing in the water with Winks, meeting Korra, the many days and months that we all spent together as a sort of family. They were happy memories, and I clung to them as I fell asleep, not wanting to forget a single detail. Finally, sleep took me, and I dreamed happy dreams.
