Aeternum

Aureus scrambled after his older cousin. He sprang into the snow with gusto enjoying the way it scattered into the air. Sure it was cold but it was really… cool. He giggled to himself at this pun before he raced forward and slid right into a snow drift. He popped out, tail wagging as he shook out his coat. By this time snow was falling, the amount growing heavier and heavier until it started to hamper visibility. Aureus' joy soon gave way to worry. He didn't really like this and to make matters worse the wind was picking up and it was terrible. His ears pinned tightly to his head and he tried to maneuver himself so that his cousin was blocking most of the wind.

Ashiel called them closer and Aureus swiftly complied. He had no intention of drifting to far from his portable wind break anyway. Soon the snow was blowing horizontally from the force of the wind. Pyrrhic called out that he spied a cave and Aureus felt a swell of relief. Hooray! Maybe they could get out of this. He scrambled after his brother and swiftly squeezed into the space, nearly getting stuck at one point do to a miscalculation. Once inside though the cave proved to be nice and spacious and he swiftly shook out his pelt. It was so much better now that they were out of the wind. Still cold but at least they were safe.

Pyrrhic was making some sort of bed for himself and Aureus swiftly followed suit, raking the leaves over to a spot where dirt had collected over the years. He hoped that would be a bit warmer than the cold stone. Raking himself a decent pile he quickly curled up into it, wincing a bit as he sat right on a large stick. Twisting around he seized it and tossed it aside. He wasn't as meticulous as his brother and had no interest in breaking down the larger sticks. Finally settled Aureus took another glance out into the inky black. He could hear the roar of the wind as the storm reached its peek intensity. Oh yea, they were gonna be here awhile. He turned his attention to Ashiel as Pyrrhic mentioned stories and he eagerly nodded. "Yes, yes, I'd like a story. Something spooky or maybe something funny or maybe something with a mighty warrior." He supposed a story about their family would work to but he didn't want to hear anything too preachy.
