The Birth of Something Great

Ruse was fidgeting and wiggling like crazy in the cart that her father pulled as they made their way to visit The Hallows. She wanted to get out and explore the other lands they passed through so bad, but any time she tried to sneak out of the cart her mother's watchful eyes caught her and she had to slink back to sitting with all of her little half-brothers. It wasn't fair that she had to ride in the cart when she was older than them, but her mother wasn't hearing any of her reasoning or pleading so eventually she gave up and just watched the world go by instead. When she saw the huge castle appear up ahead of them she grinned and stood with her front paws on the edge of the cart, her tail wagging a mile a minute. She wanted to just race up there and start exploring right now! But her father called for the other pack and then looked back at them with a reminder to be on their best behavior and she gave him a bright smile, sweetly replying, "Yes, dad!" She couldn't cause too much trouble just roaming around the castle, could she?
