Regulus |
Regulus trotted after his mother, pink tongue lolling in his jaws. It was a really long walk from the den to this place. But he could take it! He was a master adventurer, after all. His big paws were a little tired, but man, was he excited! He tried a little hop and skip, and crashed into his mothers hocks. After he picked himself up and shook off the snow flakes and dirt, he looked around to see if he?d escaped his sisters noticing. Not that he didn?t love them, because he did love them, a lot, but they could be such teasers. His mother was getting ahead, so he charged after her, his tail wagging. The beach! What was a beach? Could he eat it? Maybe not? But he?d find out! The brambles they were pushing through widened and lightened, and his heart thrummed with excitement. He could feel it; they were almost there! His deep sapphires sparkled with near mind boggling excitement. And suddenly, they were there. He stopped in his tracks to stare. ?Whooooaaaawow?.? He felt so very tiny, all of a sudden, and that was saying something. His mother spoke, and he took her words to heart. ?Yes mother.? What was that?! Something scuttled to his right. He pounced! Something scuttled to the front. Whatever the beach was? He loved it! Regulus charged off, howling his challenge to the beach to battle. His charge was abruptly halted by a blue glimmer at his paws. It hardly took a second for him to go from poking to digging. What the heck was this? He unearthed the blue thing, and found that it was attached to something that was the same color as his mothers light silver parts. Was it food? He leaned down, taking it in his mouth and biting down. ?Ylech!? Grainy, salty tasting dirt clung to his tongue, and the thing was most definitely not edible. It clinked as it hit the ground, and he poked it with his paws, before the excitement took over and he took to bouncing around the thing, barking and yapping. |
