Rays of Light

The little one was curled against her mothers belly, the heat that pooled off of her was a great comfort to her small body. She could feel her brother by her side, just as he always was. But today was a bit different. Today, Mercy was feeling rather bold. The tiny beast's purple eyes flew wide open, her body shaking slightly as she stood upon her already lanky legs. She was an awkward looking pup already, her fathers height giving her those long legs and her mother and already long tail. She almost looked like a pup walking upon stilts. Ever careful, the small female picked her way out from her mothers belly, just about tripping on Othello's huge tail. She wanted to bite it and play with it, but that would most likely awaken her mother, and she didn't want that.

Mercy looked out at the maw of the cave, brilliant spring light shining into the dark cavern. With an awed look on her face she padded towards it, checking over her shoulder quickly to make sure that no one was awake yet. She didn't see her father, but it didn't dwell on her that he may be just around the corner. To her, she was now free. A tiny giggle left her maw as she pranced towards the cave entrance, tripping on her own goofy paws. Mercy's face thumped into the ground, and she just laid there all sprawled out for a moment. It didn't even dawn on her that she was on the ground for a moment, and as she looked at the earth below her her head tilted. "No ground, no be so cwose!" She said, swatting the ground with her paw. "You 'posed to be far 'way, no so cwose to mah face!" She said with a giggle, picking herself back up and shaking the dirt from her snowy coat. Looking down she was satisfied at the distance between her and the earth, patting the hard pact dirt gently. "Good ground, you stay!" She said, keeping her voice low as she trotted out of the den.

The young girl paused when she reached the edge of the cavern, her purple gaze looking out at the whole new world that expanded before her. Letting out a quick breath of air, she reached out and placed her paw on the dewy grass. She squealed when her paw made contact with the strange substance, quickly glancing behind her to make sure that she didn't wake anyone up. Looking back at the task on hand, she fully placed her paw on the earth, wiggling at the wetness on her paws. And then, with a mighty leap, she jumped from the den and onto the grass, all four paws making contact with the cold strands. A squeal of delight left her maw as she danced upon the wet grass, a carefree giggle leaving her little maw as she spun around and around. Suddenly feeling very dizzy, the pale pup flopped onto her back and looked up at the sky, the clouds above her moving in a circular motion. "No fluffs, no spin so fast~ Too fast, too fast!" She called, giggling again as the world around her spun, not seeming to care about the wetness that seeped into her coat.
