Love Can Shine This Bright [Twig Birth}

Little Faun had come to love her temporary home. It held the promise of constant love and warmth, and a sense of security on which the fragile beauty could depend on. She was aware of another creature, one that would occasionally brush past or nudge her with unseen limbs. She didn't mind. Already she leaned against the dark figure for comfort, a thin smile on her lips. Everything was perfect and good. All was as it should have been.

Until the day that everything changed. The gentle walls around the pup began to shove and constrict, dragging the little Faun away from her brother. This wasn't right. What was happening? The small creature began to squirm as she was guided to an unknown exit. What would lie beyond this world that she had come to know? How could it ever amount to the warmth and security she felt in this home? These vague thoughts began to thread through her frightened mind as suddenly that warmth disappeared. Her body felt the shock as it met the cold air, immediately drawing a gasp of air from her young lungs. As soon as her bonds were permanently broken, she began to cry. It was a high squeal of sadness and fear. Already she was mourning the world she once knew. But perhaps this world would be better.

As soon as her voice had broken into the air, a soothing presence would pull her close. Faun would be tucked against a swathe of heated fur. Her whimpering ceased and at once she was overwhelmed with a feeling of salvation and love. All thoughts vanished as the tiny Faun breathed an in audible sigh and nestled deeper into the welcoming cushion that was her mother. She drank and filled herself until she felt plump and happy. Her brother followed shortly after, his familiar heat pressed close against her side. This world was wonderful. She loved it already.

There was a tender pressure on her head as Alpine touched his newborn daughter for the first time. In that moment, a connection was eternally made. He named his first child, granting the title to the snowy pup in his softest, most lovely voice. Faun didn't understand what her father was saying yet, or even who he was, but already she felt devotion swell in her chest. The voice was like velvet, and it carried her into a dreamless sleep as she relaxed in the presence of her family.
