"So these are the gates huh?" She said aloud to no one in particular as she ran her hand over the cool metal. "Hmm.." she mused, studying the texture. Such a symbol, a gateway, an opening, a new chapter the next beggining and also an ending to her life here in the City. Beyond was a calling, the wanderlust, her escape. Of course, she was free to go, she knew this, but kept her gaze on the gate. To look beyond, that was far too much risk. If she looked, her soul would steal her feet from her brain and whisk her off into the hills.
Her heart began to race and her breath quickened. Would she do it? Could she? Was this really it? Could she look up and take that step? She felt giddly like a child about to try a piece of candy for the first time after being told not to. This was a bit wrong and very dangerous, but she longed for it with all of her being. This was it. She bit her lip, and closed her eyes a moment.
She felt it building inside her, rising and raging like a wonderful storm. Such freedom awaited. she could become the wind and run like never before, never be judged again or feel out of place---but wait.
She purposefully turned around and opened her eyes. The park, the city, even the castle and the school in the distance, all so familiar. This was her home, and yet she was so lonely here, so restless. Did she need this place? The people here were...she struggled to find a reason to stay..the people here were...not her friends. Her friend was the wolf in her soul and the song of the wind, the scent of the sea and feel of the earth rush by beneath her paws. She thought of the places, the faces, the familiar sights....
No. She was ready, even the kind face..Theory, was not enough to keep her here. Perhaps not even the Creator could contain her wild spirit. This was her time.
She turned back to the gate, eyes on the metal again. They scanned along the smooth and shiny texture down to the lush earth and closed her eyes again, imagining what she might see. She felt her excitement rise again...waited...she set her chin straight ahead, took in the scents for one last moment...and then....she opened her eyes....

What met her eyes made her gasp like a child on Christmas morning! Her eyes sparkled and her features lit up so bright and the happiness filled her with wonder and excitement. Her wings began to vibrate so fast, she was literally buzzing.
"Yes! Yes! YES!" she said and then took a step, then another, and another. One painfully slow step after another, she just wanted to bolt off into the unknown, but she knew better. Be cautious. There could be danger nearby.
Would anyone stop her? Or merely wish her well? Or was this her goodbye? Silent, alone, and more importantly, the happiest she had ever been in her life.
((OOC: I love this post! I love Zephyr! lol I'm as excited as she is! XD *laughs and runs around in circles giggling*))
