Fading World

In the world of Daedalus, he was floating among the stars, ever discovering their mighty wonders and blessings. The world was sweet, warm, and comforting and nothing could come across and take that away. Daedalus dreamed of this place many times in the night and of course he had questions on how it came to be, but he never asked them as it was not the place to ask the great Creator on why such things were made. However, before Daedalus could enjoy it further, happiness was torn from him suddenly as his world began to move away from him, or he began to move away from it - that was hard to differentiate. Suddenly, his dream world seemed like it was crushing around him and Daedalus could barely move. The dark, moist body ached as it was pushed through a tight opening and Daedalus didn't understand the loss of his happiness and mentally he screamed to want it back.

Eventually, he came to the exit and it was COLD! All at once the air from the outside felt like it froze him solid as Daedalus went into a temperature shock, but it was not a dangerous one. The temperature outside was ridiculous as Daedalus struggled mentally to understand, but couldn't. Instead, Daedalus sent a volley of squeals and chirps everywhere. Something within Daedalus told him that his new life began and that he was to forget the old world, but he couldn't! Daedalus didn't want to forget the old world! However, instinct began to take over his desires, as well as his stomach, and he was forced to move.

The smell that seemed the most familiar filled his nose and Daedalus struggled to follow it. Not heading in the direction on where he came from, he followed parallel to it as his moist body seemed to make the air and his joints that much colder. Eyes were forced shut so Daedalus had to bump into many warm things, and keep moving forward. Using his tiny body to feel around, Daedalus' instincts told him that he was not far from what would satisfy him. This alone made Daedalus push himself to survive that much more, and as he thought his body might give out, he bumped into something warm and pointy, and he could smell what he needed to nourish himself with; milk. Latching on immediately, Daedalus sounded out many whines and squeals in satisfaction as he sucked as much as he could into his tiny mouth, and then swallowed a second later. Two tiny front paws would find the place where the nourishment was attached to, and would grip with clawless paws as if massaging the area. As Daedalus suckled, the smells and sounds filled his mind and it perplexed him. As much as the young pup was afraid of it, he was all inquisitive. The scent that filled his nose the most was one he would never forget as he could sense that it was she that gave him life, she that birthed him. It would be a bond that would never be broken.
