Selene was travelling through the desert. She didn't know why. Unfortunately, it seems that decision would kill her, considering she had gone for days without seeing a single animal or body of water. She was hot, she was starving, and she was thirsty. Not a good combo in the desert. Every so often, she would look around and think she sees an animal or something, but then the dry wind blows and reveals it to only be a mirage. Unfortunately, Selene was at the breaking point.
The vixen, after travelling another day without water or food, shambled along in a slouching walk. She looked up for the first time in a few hours and stops. It was an oasis. An honest-to-God oasis. This sparked something in Selene's head and she started running for it. When she came to it, it was green, it had water, and it had shade. It was perfect. She sank to her knees in front of the water and started scooping it into her mouth. For a number of minutes she knelt there, drinking. Eventually, she rose and saw a couple lizards nearby, whom she promptly shot. After cleaning, gutting, and skinning the lizards, she made a small fire and cooked them, eating the bland meat happily. "For... Once. A good meal in a no-man's-land." She said, her voice cracking from lack of use.
She leaned against a tree and sighed. She really needed to bathe as well. She looked around, as if reassuring herself that there was nobody around for miles and slowly stripped. Once she was bare, she carefully arranged her clothing to hide her weapons and slipped into the water, sighing at the soothing cool liquid. It felt good after days of hot, dry travelling. She dove to the bottom of the oasis and merely swam, wanting the water to coat every inch of her. She came back up to the surface and treaded water as she began to stroke herself, making sure the water pierced her fur.
