He slept better when Aslatiel was close beside him, and his nap lasted the rest of the day. He wouldn’t stir until the sun began to fall to the horizon and his sister stirred at his side. Her touch was enough to bring him from his slumber and for the one who said he didn’t need a nap he had slept heavily enough. ”Are they?” He asked groggily as he lifted himself to his feet and shook the sand and sleep out of his pelt.

He followed Asla with half open eyes as he blinked back him sleepiness and deposited himself at his sister’s side. He wiggled into position, giant paws resting on his chest as he pointed his bright blue gaze skyward. The color from the sun painted the sky warm shades of pink orange and purple, but as the dark of blue overtook the reds brilliant points of light would begin to decorate the sky. Sapphire eyes widened as full wakefulness took him and he stared in awe above them.
