Vixy, the red fox who just appeared, walked slowly toward Diane. As she did so she took a look around, memories flashing past her eyes.
She had not stayed in this place for a long time, perhaps a dyor slightly more. But she remembered she hadn't come here alone.
Along with her kidnappers, the lions, he had come here with her partner, the one who she had formed a bond with over many matings.
She had come here with a partner who he had imagined surviving the savage lands together till their old age.
That imagination would never come through as she was unable to leave here with her life partner. All because of a blunder.
She looked at the corner of the cave entrance, she could still remember that Ivan and she had slept there on the ground, tapping into each other's warmth.
