Lesson Two: Don't falter

Mortis woke quickly with the sudden and surprising weight of Azure’s bear paws upon him. He jolted to, blinked, and realised it was his brother. He groaned groggily, already feeling a little beaten up from their travelling and exercises the day before. Still, he didn’t want to disappoint. “Alright, i’m up, lets go” he agreed, staggering to his feet

He didn’t expect Azure to turn it into a competition, and with a delight cry of surprise (without seeing Azure as competition he was still just a brother he loved) he took off after the other boy. He bolted, not actually sure which way they were going, and not having time to find their scents. He found their father by sight as they got closer, and pelted his way towards him. He collapsed, panting at his father's feet a mere few seconds after Azure had. What a way to wake up.
