Life was easy. As far as the tiny purple pup knew, anyway. She got to eat, sleep, snuggle with her parents. How could it get any better? Well... she wanted to spend time with her brother and sister. There was a great desire to follow Satira around, but so far she'd been told that it wasn't time yet. Aia was ready for the time to come! She wanted to be out and doing things!

Aia had no idea how small she really was. How could a child gauge their own size in a world that was so big? Her parents were giants. Everything was giant! It was all so wonderous and fascinating to the girl. Every day started with excitement and happiness. It didn't seem like there was a time when her little tail stopped wagging.

It had been decided that today was the day. She was going to get to go outside with her dad! Indigo picked her up, putting her easily in his mane like always. Aia nestled in, curled up like a tiny purple kitten, minuscule paws holding on to little tufts of her father's fur. He asked if she was excited and Aia practically crowed with delight. "I'm ready, Papa! Let's go see things and do stuff!" The child gave a little bounce of excitement accompanied by a sweet little giggle. She was ready for the world.
