This Beautiful Morning

Alpine had been gone a few days now, and the news he brought was not what either of them might have expected. She was certain that Erani's fall and her families disaperance was the last thing Twig wanted to hear, but nor would he hold the truth from her ? after all, it would soon be time to show their pups pack life and intruduce them to the outside world, despite how much Alpine adored hiding them away in the sweet serenity of this island. The boy would reach the sand now and shake himself off, he would have started to head towards their den but the sound of laughter and running stopped him.



In the matter of moments a little form could be seen running through the sand, and she was heading straight for him! Just behind the little figure of Faun was Twig and Alpine with a laugh immediately fell into the joy of the game ?Roar!? he called out, jumping forward to catch her, he was hoping to gently tackle her down and then, just as gently throw her body of his own so that she would be bouncing on his stomach ? that was his hope anyway, if he could catch her.
