Oracle tail beat the sand as she flipped herself back on to her stomach, ?I'm Oracle,? she replied joyfully, ? are you a real Knight? I played knights and dragons with my sister and our older brother he beat me but I got rabbit meat so it wasn't so bad.? she stopped for breath taking a gulp of air as she stood up the sun glinted off her black back and she shook herself head to toe trying to remove the stray sand grains from her coat. ?ma went off to find da, he's been gone a while, but they'll be back soon,? she said smiling. Tilting her head to the side she asked, ?do you know my da he used to rule glaciem before we came here?? she had heard the stories of glaciem and how wonderful it had been, honestly she didn't know why they had left no one seemed to like to tell that part of the story.
Oracle didn't wait for a reply but continued on giving a running commentary on her family ?Odette and Galahad wandered off too; their my sister and brother? she informed the man as if it explained why she had just almost wiped him off the beach. She gave a little huff and kicked at the sand beside the indent she had created causing it to tumble in filling the hole ?i thought they would wait for me but, I guess they didn't think I would be out today.? she didn't lift her head as she kicked a little more sand into the hole, a little disappointed look crossing her face her ears falling a little and her tail was reduced to a subdued waging.
The shallow hole was almost filled and she stood on it pressing a small paw print into the loose sand, ?I wanted to play hide and stalk but I can't now, you need at least two people to play? suddenly her head came up and she looked at the man, an idea forming in her mind ?have you ever played hide and stalk mr knight?? she asked, ? Its a good game, I could teach you the rules? her ears where pricking up again her tail beginning to beat, then a thought came to her he was an adult he was probably doing something, adults where always busy. Her tail dropped a little, ?if you want that is,? her eyes where hopeful as she watched the man laying in the sand.'please, please, please,' she thought. |
