The smell of sweet pine begins to tickle your nose, so ever inviting. The wind barley whispering to you "move forward.. find what it is your heart seeks". Unsure but your heart presses against your chest, giving you the nudge you need to press onwards. The sweet smell of pine is very inviting, the tall lush grass towers around your paws, which stand firm in the softest of soil. Untouched and unspoiled by the hands of man. Man in which have caused you to run, fight and defend what you honor. Your freedom.
Contiuning onwards, you find yourself feeling a sense of power. An inner feeling which excites your heart and your paws follow its rhythm, moving closer and closer to what it is you feel. Once you are up and over a small knoll carving a natural path against the earth, you find yourself standing infront of two large boulders with an obvious opening. Curiously you sniff about, no scent of danger. There has nothing that has given you any reason to turn back, but more so, wanting to proceed onwards. Once through the openings within the two boulders, you can smell the sweet smell of something off in the distance, even more inviting. Once your paws leave the soft soil, they would befall atop the smooth surface of stone. Should your eyes wander, you are greeted with markings that adorn the caves walls. Symbols in which you do not understand. Yet... . Moving in delicate ease with your eyes to play stories as they unfold before you, beautiful colors dotted in simplistic designs while others were more complex in telling their story. "What do they mean?". You do not know but contiune on ahead... you may just find out. Moving around a small bend, you find yourself looking ahead, the opening just there for you. You can see the beautiful light emerge from its open mouth, there was no detail or hint to what may lay just beyond, but you contiune. Suddenly as each time your paw falls against the stone, moving deeper into the mouth of the cave, you can hear something faint, Something in the distance. Drums. They were beating each time your paw touched the earth. Where were they coming from? The faint voices of something echoed against the darkness of the cave. Quickly looking around, you clearly saw or smelt no one. What was it? You dont know, but something seems to reach out with gentle hands , stroking along your fur, along your scruff and along your body, pushing you, whispering to you to keep going. Hands in which welcomed you, a lost soul traveling now so close to home. The past was speaking, what resided here was powerful. It was as if mothernature herself was gently scooping you up and bringing you close, showing you protection from the world outside. Something awaits you. Pulling your eyes ahead once more, you find yourself walking closer and closer to the exit. That bright and beautiful light, filtering through, sending the suns auora to strike the surface of the stone like earth, giving it a serene shine. There it is again, each time your paws fall, another beat of a drum, sending your heart to dance along with it as if it longed many years to hear it. Something deep inside you was coming out. Perhaps something never felt before. Honor of what you are. Pride of who you are and something more deeper then that, your spirit. It is talking to you, it is telling you something. Why havnt you heard it before? But only tell now , only until you've come to this beautiful and sacred place. A legend resides here your spirit tells you. Hurried you contiune on, you cannot wait to see what lays ahead. There is a strong sense of honour and pride. Your paws stiffen, your claws scratch the earth, you come to a fast run now until you break free of the darkness that consumed you and like an explosion your suddenly bathed in light. Particles of dust and pollen fall all around you, enhanced by the sun they sparkle in your eye. Allowing your eyes to adjust only sooner do they widen at the sight just before you. You gasp.... behind you, the sounds linger a little, still pushing you onwards, but soon they come to you merely as the wind running along your fur. Though just before it does.... it whispers to you...
"in spirit... you are free".
Your eyes widen yet again, you behold what lays before you, mouth agape with disbelief. Yes... you have found it. You have found it...
