How long had it been? A few years perhaps? Eira had always been alone for as long as she could remember. Perhaps she got lost as a wyrmling, or her egg tumbled down the mountains, or she blended in with the snow and was left behind. Either way, her favorite time of the year was coming - winter! The only time of year she wasn't alone in the high mountains of Medd. Rain drizzled from the sky, forming fluffy and soft snow as it danced down.
Her paw pads soaked up the cold morning dew, as she danced in her place enthusiastically. She lifted her legs up and down rythmatically, tail swishing back and forth. She couldn't hold it in, her body gave away her joy. She had been waiting all year for these three freezing months.
"Woooof! Woof!" The barks resounded over the horizon. "Hike! Hike!" A sweet delicate voice echoed. Eira jumped what felt like ten feet into the air, wings flapping like a hummingbird. She zipped over to the sounds, eyes glued to the ground. Even through the white flakes that surrounded her, she could easily spot the red, grey, white, and white and black pelts under her. She skyrocketed down. "Woah!" The human laughed, as the sled dogs slid to a halt.
Eira landed smack dab between the four dogs, getting tangled in their ropes and harnesses uncaringly. She was greeted with soft cries and licks, and was hit with quite a few paws and happy tails. The female human approached, and patted her on the head, very amused. Eira closed her eyes and pressed her head into the humans hand, before getting a big hug from the group. "Did you miss us girl? Look how big you've gotten in just a year!" The red headed human smiled, embracing her little family.
Eira had something to look forward to these months before the sled dogs and their owner returned home from the mountains. She helped pull the sled, although she wasn't as able bodied as her four doggy counterparts. She was also a look out, flying high above them to get an aerial view. She was their guide, as they searched high and low for food and materials to bring back once they crossed the mountain pass. She was their Christmas Spirit, and they were hers every year.
