We are fam-ill-ee. :]

beginning to the end Faolan was deep in thought one day. As he walked through the mangroves, he thought about his family and how far away they all were. He had sisters and brothers he had never met before, not to mention the nieces and nephews who were years older than him and didn't know he existed. The only siblings he knew were his littermates and Alione, a black female who greatly resembled Silent, but had eyes that were neither parents'. After meeting her and realizing how big his family was, he felt like a small ant standing next to an elephant. In short, his mind couldn't wrap around the facts. The silvery male was so deep in thought that he didn't realize where he had strayed. His paws had carried him from the mangroves and now he was entering a forest whose trees were ivory white. Silence had surrounded him; all the birds had flown away for the winter and he was all alone. Any life that had existed there before was gone. His light green eyes with the brown spikes around the irises blinked and looked up when he finally realized there were different smells and sighs unlike Ludicael. Fascination overtook him and he proceeded to explore. After passing through the great white trees, Faolan was greeted by a large pond. The water was crystal clear, making the sky above look like it was a part of an underground world. Slowly, he stepped forward and looked down to try and see the bottom. Despite the clarity of the water, he was out of luck. A leaf, the last one of a nearby tree, slowly broke from the branch and lazily twirled to the surface of the pond. As soon as the surface was touched and ripples started to widen in size, pictures began to move in the water. Faolan couldn't help but be mesmerized as he saw his litter mates as pups, racing back and forth in a forgotten game of Freeze Tag. He recognized his burly, silver self as it rolled and toppled across Mercury's back. Both boys yipped in protest, making Silent's head sharply turn to assess any potential damage. The silver male couldn't help but grin at the memory. It hadn't been that long ago...had it? As the picture faded, another one appeared. He saw Jendai and Ara spending time together beneath one of their favorite trees in Seracia. They were happily talking -- about who knows what -- when Faolan's tiny, pudgy figure leaped from a set of nearby bushes. The small Faolan scared Jendai and Ara, but instead of running away, Jendai pounced. They began a rolling match and playful bites at each other's arms and legs. The Faolan of the present lowered himself to his haunches as he quietly watched the match continue. He raised an eyebrow in curiosity as the memory continued to play. Was he really that bad of a brother? It was a rhetorical question meant only for his mind, so all he did was sigh and let it leave through his lips. Thinking about Jendai made him miss her...where was she, at this moment in time? Puppy Talk foreverFAOLAN ARADCOR |
