May The Songs Wash Clean Our Hearts

The night sky was beautiful. Or so Aqil though. Stars twinkled above his head, miles and miles high, and sometimes he wished he could be up there, dancing among the stars. A small laugh escaped him, soft and full of merriment. He had found his sister, Eshe, and that gave him more delight then anything. Now he just had to find the others. Aqil strode through the undergrowth, his coat not blending well with the shadows, but perhaps to another, it might be a trick of the moon. He was quite pale in comparison to his siblings, but it made him different. However, he was also more susceptible to the sun's kiss as well. Though he loved being in the outdoors, Aqil hated getting sunburned, or otherwise uncomfortable when his pelt grew too hot. He should be used to it due to the face he was born in African lands, where the sun had no mercy for the lands inhabitants, but growing up, he had always sought shade to save his hide.

Dainty paws kissed the earth as he moved, the male soon coming into the sights and sounds of many different things. He could hear frogs croaking, loons calling, and many other things as well. This placed intrigued him, for not only did the sounds of the other creatures draw him in, but so did the water that lurked here. Aqil made his approach at the waters edge, where he'd crouch to drink. Once he had his fill, his green gaze looked around his surroundings. It was quite dark, but the moon reflected off the water, and with it the dancing light of the fireflies. Ah, it was such a beautiful sight.
