Spring Fever

The child watched his brother, the creature pawed at him, causing Gael to step back. He looked down at Soleon; watching him struggle to do a maneuver. With his paws around Gaels crown, they soon looked each other in the eyes; staring at the hidden beast that lurked behind these vast openings. The urchin just stared at Soleon. He was eager to learn and awaited the arrival of an epitahpony. As Soleon spoke, Gael?s spirit crashed to the floor. I don?t know. That was what he had heard. It crushed him, his hopes flailing to the earth. It showed upon his face, that fluffy pup face. At this, he sat down with a grunt.



Lost in his guessing game of what an epitahpony was, he vaguely heard what his brother said. Something about flutterbies. ?Sounds good.? He muttered. He really wanted to walk about and look at the flora that grew abundantly here. Ears leaning forward, stretching towards Soleon?s voice, they captured the vocal sound that rang out "No walking for me. I'm gonna be a warrior. Just like dad," Cerulean eyes stared at Soleon again. A warrior. Gael didn?t care much for fighting, nor the anger that went with it. I don?t think me can be a warrior like da.? the boy stated. What had happened next seemed to come in slow motion. Soleon stumbled and fell, attacked Gaels ear and squeaked. Gael stood dumbfound, absorbing what had happened. It was puppy play, and Gael was unequipped. Even so, he tried to play along; it was after all, what his brother wanted. Meekly, he swung out his right paw, batting Soleon?s head. It was an effort, but an atrocious one at that.
