Look out, world, here we come

Stolas gave a yelp of surprise when he suddenly found himself face down on the ground, feeling a weight on his back and knowing in his heart of hearts that it could only be Sitri. Managing his best fearsome growl, the red and black pup swung tiny limbs out wildly, trying to catch Sitri to throw his brother off of him. Get off of me! he shouted amongst his thrashing, managing to squirm his way onto his back so he could better swing at his obnoxious idiot brother—only to feel the weight of Sitri lift away as Plague separated the two brothers. Unwilling to give up such an advantage, Stolas kicked a hind leg out and caught Sitri in the chin just before he was pulled out of reach, the Abraxas prince rolling back to his paws with a smug look turned his brother's way. "Thank you, father," he said with an approving smile to his giant sire for rescuing him from his treacherous brother, shooting a pointed look at Sitri. Plague then asked if they'd like to go on an adventure and little Stolas' ears pricked up atop his head, a bright and excited expression lighting up his features. "Ooooh, yes please! It's about time!" As if on cue, Rava joined the family and all together the wolves began to make their way outside for the first time.

Stolas takes his time leaving their home, watching Seere while she tumbled over her own paws with an incredulous roll of his eyes. So ungraceful... he thought while he maneuvered his way alongside his mother out into the bright and expansive world. Sitri came up behind him to nudge at his rump, earning an irritated growl from the little prince who followed at his own pace. The sunlight stung his dark eyes for but a moment, and then as his pupils dilated and adjusted, he gasped to behold the splendor around him. The sky was a bright and clear blue, as was the ocean that surrounded their home, its lapping waters glistening like a bed of sapphires against a golden shore. Tropical songbirds filled the air with their melodies. And the sun... it was so warm!

"Oh, wow...!" Stolas murmured in amazement to himself, graphite eyes wide as they swallowed in everything around him. Slowly, the pup began to meander off, following Sitri towards a copse of trees, feeling the different kinds of dirt and grass beneath his paws and drinking in all the sounds and sights and smells.
