The pond rippled as long, slender fingers ran their way through the crystal clear water. When the small puddle of melted snow stop moving, you could clearly make out the hope-filled, tantilizing blue orbs that were scrutinizing their own reflection. Apparently unsatisfied, the young adolescent touched the rim of the water and watched as it turned pure black, no longer allowing herself to look at the hideous creature; herself. Standing up, Advocate rubbed the dirt off of her torn, black dress before walking further into the woods. The wind bit at her arms and legs, sending chills down her spine and, finally, through her thick black angle wings, or so her mother had called them. She muttered something beneath her breath and felt more secure as a few thick shadows wrapped themselves around her bare arms, keeping the wind from doing any more damage to the already torn flesh. Her arms hung loosely at her side, but the fingers of her right hand were rapped tightly around a long staff of sorts. Although the long metal thing appeared to be freezing, it was actually warm to the touch. The soothing staff was pulsating blue as her thumb rubbed up and down, extracting just enough magic from it to keep herself warm. Advocate, or Cate, as she preffered, had been traveling for days with no heed. Sure, she slept a few times under a sheltering tree or stopped to rest her aching feet, but only long enough to regain enough energy to travel again. Her whereabouts where unknown, nor did she question where she was going; she was born without a cause, and thats how it would always be.
