A small Ember amidst a raging storm

Esperanza would hear the young pup speak his name. Koray. That was a unique name for a young pup like himself. A smile came across her maw, emerald eyes shimmering from the lightning that flashed from the heavens. She couldn't help but smile at the young pup. "My name is Esperanza. No, I'm sorry, but I do not know your mother. Then again, I'm five years old and I'm already losing my memory," she would grin to try and make the pup laugh.



"No little Koray, the sky isn't falling. It's only just a bad storm is all, you'll be safe," she implied, emerald optics looked into those of the child that laid down inside of the den with her. The pouring rain poured down heaver, thunder crashing louder and longer bursts as if someone were yelling from above.
She placed her crown upon her paws, but kept her eyes locked upon the young pup.
