Link to group: VallisPrompt:She feels little about many things; to place her efforts on one was not something she could have even considered in the past.
Anahita has always been such a careless molly - apathetic, never having a strong opinion - this was such a strongly negative trait of hers, but she never understood.
She never quite did; as she stared out at the land before her, as she mused quietly in her home, she realized that she never did feel some sort of strong emotion for anything.
Perhaps that would change.
Perhaps it would not.
"Can anyone hear me?"
There was a cry in one of the caves she had set out to explore; her ears pricked, she set out to investigate the noise. Anahita was some sort of explorer some times; she knew this cave system well, although it was not well known.
Supposedly.
It was a young voice - she guided carefully towards it, her eyes wide - and she came to find two kittens, one presumably the source of the cry and the other huddled behind him.
The one who called out - a blue kitten - his expression lightened up when he saw her approach.
"Robin's hurt," he explained, his eyes still wide, "We got lost, and... we need help to get out."
It was as if a light had been cast upon a place where day had not touched it for ages; something new and refreshing; she finally realized, for once, that there was something she truly cared about. There was finally a push.
She felt strongly about something, for once.
She would get these kits out, even if her life depended on it.
And it was as if some sort of color returned to her world; she cared about something, for once - she felt most strongly towards the protection of those who were in peril themselves.
A guardian.
