Singing Sands

She padded quietly through the last thicket, barbed briars tugging at her coat, the fjord ahead catching her eye as she broke through. She halted, turning to wait for Regulus and his sisters to break through. After the rush of emotions, and her charge to Solstice for answers, she had told Sibelle that she would think of the offer to stay in Solstice until Falk was freed. However, what of the rest of her family in the Willows? It had occurred to her to move the whole family out of the Willows, and hide them away; perhaps in the southern continent, or nearby. Emotionally, she was a mess, but refused to break under the strain. For her children, she would do what she could to make sure she was strong enough to care for them. Her children were her point of joy in the whole tumultuous They could make her smile, even if she felt as though she were on the verge of tears. So today, she was taking them to the shore to play. As her children came through, she padded on slowly, until her paws touched the glimmering sands that connected the northern continent to the southern continent. Her eyes lifted to the smudge of land on the horizon before turning to look at her children. ?Don?t go any deeper than over your toes, kids. And don?t go beyond my sight.? She trusted them to obey those two requests, and added, with a chuckle, ?And don?t drink the water; it?ll make you feel sick.? She stretched as Regulus took off with a howl of delight. Settling onto her haunches, she stood watch over her children as they played and enjoyed the sea. |

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. |

Faite had fallen in easily behind Regulus' leadership, allowing the red boy to plow ahead and lead the way. He blazed a trail through the underbrush, and Faite followed behind, content to rest within his shadow. He could gather the lion's share of the attention - and indeed, when he tripped and went sprawling, Faite allowed herself a small smile. It wasn't intentionally cruel, but if one messed up while in the spotlight, well, others were bound to notice. Which was why Faite was more than content to follow behind Regulus and let him mess up. Her gaze remained focused on her brother and mother, though Faite kept one ear pricked towards Zuriel at all times, paying attention to her sister as much as she could. It came as a small shock to the youngster when her paws hit the sand, and she drew up for a moment, anxious blue and gold gaze focusing on her mother. Would their mama have taken them somewhere dangerous? It took Faite a few moments to ascertain that the sand was as safe as any other ground, but once Regulus had charged ahead without suffering any harm, Faite too stepped forward, muzzle crinkling slightly at the strange sensation. Curiously, she sniffed at the ground, sneezing slightly when some of the grains of gritty dirt went up her nose. Nodding eagerly when her mother told her not to go too deep into the water, Faite padded forward cautiously, ears pinning back for a second when the water reached her paws for the first time. It was cold! And it smelled salty, to say the least. Faite was almost tempted to taste the water, but if it was anything like the gritty dirt, she wanted no part in it. And so Faite was content to frolic a little in the water, bounding up to Regulus and splashing a small amount towards him as he played with his find. She was careful not to splash enough that it would get near his eyes or nose, as it smelled rather unpleasant, but the playful grin on her face invited Regulus to return the action. Would he play with her in this strange water? "Burn Baby Burn" |
