Know Your History

If there was one thing that fascinated Ember more than anything else in the world, it was the rich and vast history of her family. Everything Carpathian fascinated and awed the young pup—their heritage, their culture, their language, everything! Even just getting to listen to her parents talk amongst themselves in their family's tongue filled her with an energy and excitement that made her giddy, longing for the chance to understand what they were saying and some day getting to be a part of it all. Any chance the girl got to immerse herself in her family, she took it with enthusiasm. That was why when her father came to find her to tell her that their Aunt Iolaire was holding a little history lesson out on the plains that evening, Ember was all about it!

The moment Iolaire's warbling howl called out across the Hallows, an overexcited Ember went sprinting out of Hearthstone and across the wide grass sea in the direction of the small bonfire burning amidst the fields. Some of her family had already arrived, and drawing closer Ember was able to see Dusk and Bramble both gathered with Io around the crackling fire. "Hi Dusk!" Ember greeted Dusk with a little melody in her voice, rubbing her head against her older sister's foreleg. Although she was growing quite quickly, she was still the smallest of the group so far. She then approached Bramble to greet her in much the same way, bumping her head against her elder sister's shoulder where she lay and greeting her with a chipper, "Hi Bramble!" Ember then went to Iolaire, reaching her nose up to boop her snoot against her aunt's with an excited waggle of her tail. "Hi Aunt Io!" With all her greetings done, Ember then moved to go settle down on the fur beside Bramble, sticking close to her sister as she settled in for story time, her tail thumping against the fur with little control, she was so ready for this!
