the forest of talking trees — intro

[Shade]

Found a few days ago and taken in by Argus, her wounds were finally starting to heal. The scabs were slowly shrinking, turning into dark pink, shiny scars. The major gash on her left side still had a lot of healing to do, but she refused to let it slow her down. As long as it didn't get infected - which it shouldn't, granted it already had the protective layer of dressings - she would be fine. The savannah cat still had no idea who she was, other than her name. Shade. It was funny that she remembered her name, but nothing else. Perhaps it was because she had been called Shade since she was a child. She couldn't remember if that was true, but she could only assume so. It was odd how the brain worked. She was making new memories in The Pitt, and that was what really mattered to her. If she had no recollection of who she was, it simply meant she would have to form herself from the ground up.

The dark brown hybrid padded into the central marketplace, feeling rather adventurous that day. She hadn't gone out in the territory much, usually spending her days by exploring the areas around the temple or learning the ways of The Pitt. For how many times she had passed the marketplace, she had never really stopped and looked. Today, she had promised herself that she would browse the marketplace, and perhaps meet some new Pittians there. She had nothing to trade, and only intended to socialize. Maybe if she found an item she really liked she could promise to give them something in return. Would any of them take a mere promise as payment? She wasn't one to know, and she would be surprised if it actually happened.
