Verdigris Ravine Clan

Candle had given birth. Ko'a could smell it in the air. She had known the time was drawing near. Now, it had come.

When the Candlekeeper's voice rang out over the sands with invitation, Ko'a trotted along the winding river at a distance behind her cousin. 

She finds a place at the side of S'ari, peering in from the mouth of the den. Four pups coated of dark reds and coal. Candle, they are stunning! She praises and then joins her brethren in happy song.
