LILY CANOPUS — GOLD TIGERESS && TAGS
"What are you doing Lily?" It was the phrase she kept repeating in her mind all through her journey away from home, thoughts of failure swarming her mind practically daily. You aren't cut out for this, you should go back. Who do you think you are? They're going to laugh at you. They'll probably kill you on the spot. YOU STUPID BITCH! She physically winced, ears flattening. It was her mother's voice, the last words she spoke to Lilith before she departed. It wasn't something she liked to remember, but she couldn't forget it, no matter how hard she tried.
What if they were right? What if I fail? The tropical flowers on her pelt quickly wilted as thoughts churned in her mind, deep purple chrysanthemums replacing them. Was she even going the right way? That panther she had met a few miles ago told her it was just up this mountain, but she could have sworn she heard him chuckle quietly as they split paths. Shaking her head, she took a deep breath. No, no, it has to be up here. I can feel it. I mean, she had spent all this time looking for it, asking other travelers which way it was and going from trade post to trade post, they were the experts! They couldn't be wrong!
Before she knew it, Lily was standing at the scent border, the chrysanthemums on her back now replaced with bright pink dahlias. Shaking her pelt, the tigeress would cast her dark purple petals into the air in the process, causing them to fall gently to the ground like a scene from a romance movie. It certainly smelled like animals lived here... hopefully they were the ones she was looking for. Clearing her throat, she ignored the pounding in her chest, tail curling tightly around her paws. "Um... hello? I'm Lilith Annalise Canopus, I was wondering if I could join?" The demi-goddess called out, pink hued gaze scanning the area around her for any sign of life.
