absolutelyterrableChimera weren't exactly a common sight in the big wide world.
Therefore Terra the Chimera (his father was so good with names) found himself wandering the vast wilds; pausing here and there to admire the flowers and hunt a moose whenever he started to feel a little snackie. It was a good life, he'd thought when he first left the nest. But it'd been quite some time since then and...well, he'd started having second thoughts after leaving his awkward sub-adult stature behind him.
Terra had started to think wandering around day by day was getting a little bit..well, lonely. He ponders the fact slowly for a few weeks, the days growing steadily longer and the idea he should, no, needs to do something about it growing more pronounced, like an odd itch just beneath his pelt.
The feeling follows him, maybe urges him to leave familiar territory, his eyes trained on the horizon and distant mountains. It remains even as he nears their slopes and the forests beneath. After his trek, he takes a long nap in a large patch of dandelions, hoping it might sooth the restlessness. But its there when he wakes up, seemingly settled under his skin, nagging at him even as he puffs the cute, fluffy topped seeds into the air with a snort from his muzzle.
Terra watches them float into the afternoon sky, wondering...And then he hears the howl.
His ruff and spines both raise and he jumps to his paws. To anyone else it might've been the cry of a wolf...but to Terra it's loud and clear; The timbre too deep (and a little off-key?) to be that of a common wolf. It's another Chimera and she's... a little annoyed? It feels to Terra's ears. But calling for attention all the same.
After gaping in the strangers general direction for a moment. The howl returns and he realizes with certainty that he wasn't in fact imagining it. Terra sweeps his tail, sending more dandelion seeds skyward, suddenly feeling excited in a way he hasn't felt before. He shakes himself off and thinks a moment.
Terra decides rushing over to say hello might be a bit presumptuous, rude even. And a good way to get a clawed paw to the face. So instead he answers her howls with a roar of his own, announcing himself before starting to walk towards the sounds of her calls, hoping to at least catch sight of her.
