the shrine

Asla's excitement was palpable and infectious, and the more the happy girl bounded around him the more his tail wagged. "I'm glad, too!" He responded cheerfully. The girl stopped to claw at a tree, and Azure looked down at his paws with a frown. His feet weren't like his other siblings, while they could sheath and retract their claws at will his were huge and bulky and caused him to be more wobbly then the average pup when he walked. Her amazement echoed his own as he pointed out the glow, and as he'd expected she had no hesitance to go closer.

The pup gave her a grin and then took off through the woods, hoping to be the first to catch whatever creature was causing such a beautiful purple glow. His strides were longer than hers, though he also was limited in movement by the differences in his body. Whenever he was to run full out the boy felt awful painful aches in his knees and elbows, and the size difference in his forelegs and forepaws off-balanced the pup. One day he'd learn to overcome the oddities in his body to achieve average speeds, but for now every sprint was a lesson.

As they neared the glow, it became apparent that it's source was not the air nor the trees but somewhere in the ground. He slowed on approach, unable to see above the circle barrier of stones to identify what secrets hid behind them.
