Pirates in the works

He had been waiting for the day when he was old enough to raid like his parents. Granted this raid was just for the puppies to practice, but good enough to him. Scald eagerly followed his father out onto the blackened sand where Sparrow and the other pups had gathered. Seeing Jack and his best buddy Ajax already there, he could feel the excitement beginning to build.

Racing ahead of his dad, Scald rushed over to where Sparrow called to them. Eagerly listening to her words, he let his tail swing excitedly back and forth and his quills bristle slightly. “We’ll definitely win!” Scald chirped as he tossed a glance back at his dad.
