Chapter 450: Grassy Feet

Talia The forest was something I had never seen with the new eyes I had. It was beautiful, to say the least. It was so beautiful that my eyes were hurting from taking in everything—the colors, the creatures that I knew, but now saw with magic. Barefoot, I had walked all the way over. It was eight days after I had woken up, and now I felt so much stronger, knowing that I had put on a slight bit of weight, enjoying the way it felt. I walked over to the stream and sat down by a smooth rock, allowing my feet to brush against the water, remembering how it was the first time I was there. And how I had met Baron not too far from here, seeing his massive wolf form with his large, glowing red eyes, remembering the way he felt to me. It was all like yesterday, I thought to myself as I reached out for a stray twig and began playing with it. How? he said in my mind. I'm close, he added. Very close. I found myself smiling, giddy like a little girl who had just met her crush for the first time.
