free at last

Oh, to be free, there was nothing like it! Since being released from the run-down barn where he spent his early weeks, Acacius had made a point to explore as far from it during his waking 'daylight' hours. Of course, there was no daylight - which made exploring much harder by darkness - so Acacius made do by the light of the full moon. The Range was beautiful as far as the boy was concerned, peppered with clusters of fungus and crystal and dancing fireflies. The livestock Fireside raised were cool, but nothing could compete with the way the world glowed beneath the moon.

Acacius pranced on over to the nearest mushroom cluster, placed both oversized paws atop the caps and with all his weight came down upon them. They broke open beneath his paws which was disappointing, as he'd hoped if they could hold his full weight that he could bounce across their caps all across the Range. Oh well.
