it started back at the beginning

Tiny paws clamored against the wolf made wall that kept curious puppies inside their den instead of out exploring the world like they wanted to. Indigo’s current pass time was staring at the dirt and stone obstacle trying to figure out how he was going to overcome his opponent. He sat back on his brilliant purple haunches with his blue gaze intent on the barrier between himself and the bigger room beyond. One red striped ear flicked as he tilted his head in extreme concentration. He hadn’t been specifically forbidden from scaling it, but it was there and until these last few days he had no thought of overcoming it.

He was sure his mother was asleep, and he assumed his father was out hunting. Something he hadn’t found much interest in just yet, but he hadn’t even seen the sky yet. He just knew that he wanted to go. There was other places out there to see, and he was ready to go and see them. With a tiny ‘hmm’ the lavender child stood up and approached the wall, almost certain he’d figured out the solution.
