DANCING WITH YOUR DEMONS

The young pup had taken to wandering a little bit more now that he had met Syrinx in the Northern lands that had once been his home. Since then, Galileo had begun to discover the wonders that Alacritia held. His new home had entertained him for a little while before Galileo's gaze had begun to wander a little further. He still wasn't up to heading as far as he had wandered that once, but Galileo was a pup, and though he was growing older, he was still young, still young enough that he wanted to explore and learn. The nervousness was beginning to fade as the young male clung to his dreams of revenge.
He had an ideal, a goal, and that let him focus. And on top of that, his father, in all of his strength, had given Galileo something to emulate fiercely as he began to understand that being as skittish as he was weird. He would be like his father, but stronger. The thought brought a fierce satisfaction to the young male.
Bounding along, Galileo made his way towards the curious caverns that he had discovered recently. The winding paths that sprawled beneath the mountainous lands had offered him a lot of entertainment in the past few days. He loved wandering, taking new turns every turn he visited and discovering new caves and new paths. He wasn't sure what interested him so, but they were entertaining, that much was true.
The youngster had not wandered for long when there came a voice from back at the entrance. Pausing, Galileo turned towards the voice, ears twitching. A female, but not a familiar one. "Hello!" The male yipped back, taking a deep breath. He couldn't be scared anymore. He had to be strong so that he could take revenge for his pack. He needed to be strong. No more fear.
Repeating that mantra in his head, Galileo turned and padded back towards the entrance and found his gaze settling on a white female. He stood quietly, head tilted to the side and ears pricked in her direction, waiting to see what she would do, and fighting to keep his heart beating at a normal pace in his chest. No more fear, the pup reminded himself sharply.
