We'll Sit and Watch the Sky Fall Down

Kitsune was bursting with emotion. She had gone from shaming herself in front of Iho, to the brink of death. It seemed she had experienced much in her short life, and her mother had taken her and her siblings aside and gifted them wonderful presents. Kitsune had insisted on wiggling into hers before their venture out, with Iho helping her do up the clasps. She had no intention into getting into any fights, she simply wanted to show off the gift from her mother Empress.

She had time to grab a small bag from her den, and then was following on after Iho. Wondering where this surprise adventure would lead them. She hadn’t travelled far from Ashen yet, and so she looked about her with wide, curious eyes. Passing Armada placed her at the furthest she had been from home without her parents. She was admiring a mangrove when Iho’s voice called out to her, beckoning her on. SHe picked up her pace, until she was beside him. Her tail wiggling excitedly behind her. She felt alive. the joy of being healthy and whole.

And then they were ‘here’ wherever here was. She blinked a few times, taking in the sight of the pearly sand, glowing beneath the dark skies. The ocean that rolled out before them, endless and blue. “Oh! it's wonderful here. Iho!” she declared, happy to drift delicately forward over the sand and pick out a spot. She found a little incline on the sand that gave them a good view of the ocean and aurora-lit skies.
