Fooorr.....tuuunee...
Lavender eyes shot open at the sound of her name, too real to be a dream. Assuming someone was coming to fetch her from her nap, Fortune rose quickly and laid her fur back neatly from the tousled mess it had become. With the days disappearing and only giving enough light a few hours per day to see slightly better than what the large, looming moon could provide, her sleep schedule was out of wack. It was hard to keep a good schedule, but she was trying although she often found herself succumbing to the temptation of a nap.
As she readied herself, assuming whoever it was to be waiting outside, she called for them to enter. She was surprised when no one came, but figured perhaps her light voice simply went unheard. After a few finishing touches, Fortune moved to the door of her den and outside only to find that no one was there. Strange. Maybe she had kept them waiting too long. A frown formed on her lips, but her ear twitched at a sound to her side and that caught her attention.
A lone blue firefly buzzed in the distance, hovering as if it were staring back at her. Fortune. She heard the voice whisper again and she was off, chasing after the firefly. She knew that voice. It was her father. Maybe this firefly would take her to her father! White gloved paws carried her quickly over the borders of Habari and to the falls nearby, were many fireflies gathered. The voice had been quiet since the last time she had heard it, and it remained so as her eyes frantically scanned looking for signs of her father.
