Ferra’s Dream

Chapter 11

Fenic looked at her for a moment, thoughtful, then shook his head “I’m sure. I wouldn’t want to extrude on your space anyway. Plus, I’ve got everything I need here” Ferra nodded “alright. But my cave is always open if you need it” she said before diving into the water. The surface of the little pond had frozen over again, she would have to break it again if she wanted to get out. Ferra swam back, the forwards, faster. She slammed her head into the ice, once, then twice, the ice shattered. She hauled herself out of the water and onto the ice. Ferra stood up and shook her wet fur out, droplets of water sprayed everywhere. She was about to head home, when her ears perked. She turned the opposite way home and started to walk. She seemed focused on something, her pace quickly changed from walking, to jogging, to running. She had been going for maybe an hour when she stopped. She clawed at the snow, although she didn’t have to dig

deep. She pulled out a black piece of element with a purple glow. She ate the odd piece of element without hesitation, then continued to run but at an even faster pace, tearing through trees.

A human waited in front of a giant stone base, it didn’t flinch as Ferra abruptly stopped in front of it, nearly touching. Although the base was made of stone, it had many machines powered by generators, this place was much more advanced than most of the human bases she’d seen before. The human was female, she wore fur boots, fur pants, chitin gloves, and a chitin chestplate, she wore simple glasses and had dark, black hair. The woman stroked the fur in between Ferra’s glowing purple eyes, Ferra didn’t flinch. The human briefly looked Ferra up and down, observing her white and pale pink fur. “You’re a pretty one aren’t you?” the human stated. The human started to walk, Ferra followed.
