Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?

The warmth of the approaching summer can be felt in the lengthening days. The sun stays out longer and the heat has slowly increased as the days passed. Maybe it is the weather or the fact that he wants to be off the island that has Strix feeling restless. The desire to prove himself in the growing giants of his litter has driven him to be reckless at times. Thoughts of the fight with the jaguars and how his brothers and parents had to jump in and save him stung the pup’s pride. If he wasn’t so dang short he could have showed those cats a thing or two! In his heart of hearts, Strix knows that is lie, the fact that his two taller brothers couldn’t chase them off shows that.

Still, he wants to be a good fighter and, it is for that reason that he is seeking out Kasos. Of all his brothers, Strix feels like Kasos is the least judgmental towards him. Paws pull the pup toward the beach, his mint and pink gaze searching for signs of his brother as he calls out, “Kas? Are you here?” His brother has proved to be an explorer and the pup just hopes he is close by.
