Skadi
A young fallible polar bear named Skadi struggled to plow through the seemingly giant snow drifts in a desperate search for her mother, who never returned to her after a quick fishing expedition .As Skadi wandered the almost barren land of snow and ice, she began to feel warm this feeling dumbfounded Skadi because being too warm was not a familiar feeling to the young cub. In the midst of Skadis deep thought she began to feel vibrations under her feet and then a slight pinch, the ice was giving way she began to run but the slippery ice gave way to a uncontrollable flailing and she slid forward fortunately she rolled onto the snow and was saved. Once she had collected herself she continued on her journey. The temperature seemed to rise with every new step and the only thing that allowed Skadi to hold on to slightest equanimity was the re-occurring breeze that caressed her nose.
Her head dropped and swayed back in forth, she was hopeless. completely oblivious to her surroundings Skadis paw touched water it was cold and stung her raw paws , she looked ahead and saw a lone sheet of ice floating in the horizon she squinted her eyes and saw a body , powerful and beautiful yet motionless. Skadi called to it and heard nothing; she knew it was her mother because they were the only bears in the arctic. Skadi continued to call and as she prepared one last loud call her foot slid forward and she fell into the water. She swam her hardest and decided to go to her mother. She pushed and pushed and finally made it she crawled onto the sheet of ice and laid beside her mother as they floated to horizon and to the end of a species.
