sunny days

The young boy was finally starting to put on some weight. He was officially healthy now that summer was well underway. His pink flesh held its rosy hue and his fur shone in the brightness of the sun. His horns were beginning to really come in, and he’d gained at least a quarter of an inch since joining Kesali’s ranks. His alabaster paws carried him through the willows, the shade a welcome reprieve from the harshness of the sun. He panted softly, bright pink tongue lolling out of his mouth as he plopped down under the tree.

It wasn’t long after noon and the heat was oppressive, he really should have been hiding away in his den but he loved the light of the sun. Being under the willow’s branches wasn’t a terrible alternative. The wing swept through beneath, an oddly cool breeze through the long branches. Erys leaned back against the trunk and started to relax, his lithe form sprawled out over the short grass. Soon he’d need to start deciding on his path in life. His first birthday was quickly approaching and with it the huge decision.
