praise be to tor

Spark woke up slowly, her beautiful silver eyes barely blinked open as Ballad nuzzled her encouragingly. Sizzle seemed to wake up quite a bit faster, but both girl’s signed excitement in their little dancing paws. Ballad smiled inwardly, but outwardly the emotion could only be seen in the happy way her own paws tapped them out. They were making preparations for this night for so long now, the girl might have been more eager than their mother. Ballad lifted herself to her paws and nuzzled both tiny children before they had a guest appear there to join them.

Ballad looked up to see Nox had reappeared here after the invitation she had offered the day that they met. She hadn’t quite been able to answer Spark’s question, but would answer them both. ”Hello again, Nox.” Ballad spoke softly as she herded her boisterous children. ”We’re just on our way out to be blessed by the moon goddess, Tor. You’re welcome to join us if you wish.” She added to Nox as she moved to lead the little group from behind the waterfall and up to its peak. ”Watch your step!” She reminded the two girls, but maybe Nox as well, as they ascended the moist mossy trail to the top of the waterfalls. She helped her tiny girls up along the way and as they reached the top she placed herself between the pups and the rushing water. ”Alright, any moment now she’ll begin to rise over the horizon.” Ballad explained and pointed towards where sky met land and the moon would rise for them.
