Light up the world

Saracyn's mind was a singular focus on one thing and one thing alone: catch the fireflies. After seeing them with Avacyn back on the mainland, he had become obsessed with the blue-hued bugs. Every time he tried to catch one, however, it would simply dematerialize right before his eyes. It was a frustrating but amusing game to him. Over the past few nights he'd tried everything he could think of to trap one of the bugs just to study it and see why it glowed like he and his sibling did, but so far to no avail. The pup was nothing if not determined, however. This evening, just as he had done the past ones, he ran down to the lake his mother had taken him to in order to find those fireflies again. Sure enough, as soon as the gigantic moon began to crest the horizon, the fireflies appeared once more, and the marking on his eye seemed to shine brighter than ever before.

"Hey, come back here!" he called to the lightning bugs when he ran at a cluster of them only for them to disperse out of reach. He huffed at the bugs floating lazily about in the air, then turned and ran for another cluster. Like before, these ones floated just out of reach of his tiny grabbing paws and snapping jaws. He harrumphed, then giggled when a few of the bugs floated down to dance and tickle across his snout before disappearing before his eyes once more. Saracyn was grinning from ear to ear, running through the thinly-forming mist to try and catch them, his facial marking glowing and illuminating him almost in perfect time with the fireflies around them. He glanced back to his mother and spotted Manea and Naraca side by side.

"Hi Auntie Naraca!" Saracyn called out to her and gave a vigorous wave of his white-dipped paw. Then, without missing a beat, the boy gave a wicked giggle and chased off after the glowing blue bugs once more. This time he would get one for sure!
