THREE MUSKETEERS

Mother was sleepy, her presence pulsed like the ocean in dull shades of navy and indigo. She had nasty scabs, like the ones she got when she went exploring around the pricklier bushes, but they were bigger, deeper, and oozed when she licked them too long in an attempt to make her mother feel better. Ananke was new to worry, and so far it wasn't a feeling that she enjoyed. It made her sad to see her mother tired, and so she decided that she would let her rest without any interruption today. It was quite alright as well, she had two siblings to play with that she currently needed to find. They were allowed to leave the den to some extent, a little older and a tiny bit wiser every day, it wasn't an odd sight to see Jupiter's children marching around Ludicael like they owned it. It was their paradise, their world of shimmering lakes and rivers. It was enchanting, and what they had been born into - what their mother had managed to keep for them, for her wolves and for herself.
It was home, and Ananke loved it here. Even when she wandered she was content to stay within the borders, not crossing the river that she had been warned about. There were days of course, where she was curious about it. What was beyond it, how deep it was, what lived inside of it... yet as she stared, she turned away, more interested in finding her siblings than breaking rules. Later, she would find the courage and audacity to cross that river later - right now she was trailing after her smaller sister's scent, looking for any trace of the pup that she could find. Her nose was in no way experienced in tracking, but she stayed with Aegira every day - the only wolf that stood out more to her was Oberon and maybe her own mother if her scent wasn't a bit more spread out because of the borders she set. "Gira! Giiiira!" She yipped, her paws awkwardly stepping over, around and through the roots below her. Her paws were muddy and damp and she knew that she would be in for a good cleaning along with her siblings once she got back to their den and if their mother was awake. "Gira wait!" She huffed, knowing that the girl was close.
Eventually she caught sight of the girl's cream fur, and grinned. In the corners of her eyes were tiny patterns of zigs and zags and bright, something that she related to her sister and her sister alone. Laughing she tumbled forward until she was standing beside the other girl, her fluffy tail wagging quickly behind her. "It's time for an adventure Gira..." It was a statement, a fact, it was time to get out and explore the big wide world. Case closed. "Where is Obie?" She asked, her silvery eyes glancing about for her black and white brother. He was always late...
