Legacy World 7.5 Zira's Plan

Ward followed the sparkling cyan stream and walked until he was at the edge of the Darkfire's territory. There was a hole at the bottom of one of the bare trees. He carefully placed Zira there then silently gazed at her.

Neoma softly and timidly asked the question that had been bugging him. "How is she still in her human form?"

When she got no reply, she spoke again. "Then again, it's a good sign, right? It means she's not dying, right?" She looked at Ward who still showed no intention of replying. Without a word, he reverted back to his wolf form and settled himself down near Zira. Neoma did not take his lack of reply to heart. She knew that Ward needed to rest too. So, she took it upon herself to keep watch while they were down.

Zira's eyelids gradually lifted. A coat with a random mix of lavender and blue fur filled her sight. The softness and warmth against her skin felt comfortable and welcoming. She would have loved to sink deeper into it if she could.
