Pyralis was laying near the creek, enjoying the warmth of sunshine on her back and the general atmosphere of the area. Of course the creek would always have a special place in her heart. This was where she'd met the fire spirit and conceived her two lovely children and some days she couldn't help but think of that moment. Sometimes her thoughts would drift toward the spirit and she found herself wondering how he was doing.

Tensing then unfurling Pyralis sprang toward the pup. "Boo!"
