[atrb=background,http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8884/meritb.png] One step, two step, three step, four... Five step, six step, seven step more. The lithe form of a young, white female pranced along the border between Acerbus and Kamari, straying slightly more to the Kamari side of the line. Acerbus held too many strange and forgettable memories. And by forgettable? Meridian wanted to forget, wished she could forget. And yet they stayed. That land had been her home once upon a time. It had been her life, her's to inherit! And it had almost been the the death of her. Even now as she trotted along, staring into the abyss of trees that danced on her left, nothing really was as it seemed. Meridian saw what she wanted to see rather than what was really there. She saw the wolves of Salen, her mama and both papas, her two brothers, the silly, jealous females that disliked how she was thought to be Exodus's true daughter (even though she was not). She could see their forms weaving in and out of the trees, just beyond her reach, calling for her to join them. And yet, Meridian didn't want to go. She loved her family, on some level she really did, but those ties had finally been cut. She was a free agent now, left to her own desires and able to do as she pleased. Why go back to a life of loneliness surrounded by others? It felt far less painful to be lonely alone. Slowly but surely her paws carried her farther away from the woods, taking her slightly deeper into the expanse that was Kamari's prairie. Just inside the territory border now, the figures of her family seemed to disappear. Feelings of relief washed over her. No longer was there that magnetic pull to the Lleingas Woods. The connection had been severed and with it the memories. Now it was just the princess, own her own, ruler of all and yet of nothing. Even her dragonfly seemed to have vanished for the moment, leaving her only with the command to head north. It was strange really. All of a sudden the world around her looked so... normal. It was as if the acid rose colored glasses had finally been removed and for the first time she was seeing everything clearly. Meridian didn't like it. The land was flat, dull, and lacking the wonderful colors and curves of her mind. It was a glimmer of its usual self, lusterless and boring. It even smelled and sounded different! Or maybe her senses were processing things in a different way... Regardless, she pressed forward, a feeling of uneasiness running down her spine as she looked about with clear vision. This hallucination needed to end! Or rather, it needed to begin.
