Moonspear all complete in the sight of life with you

Galaxy's ear flicked in her sleep and she cracked open one eye. She didn't bother lifting her head, just sighed quietly and rolled her weight onto her hip, ears pricked now in case her mother called again. She didn't want to move if it wasn't absolutely imperative. She didn't have much energy to spare these days. Starving herself for weeks had robbed her of it, as well as the weight she had gained immediately following her rescue. She was beginning to look like a bag of bones again.

Her eyes began to flutter closed again when Galaxy abruptly noticed the waning light. With a grunt, she reluctantly pulled herself out from underneath the spruce to gaze up at the sky. There were no clouds and no signs of a storm. Her brow furrowed and her mismatched eyes dropped to peer at her shadow, which seemed to be fading from sight. The sallow white fur along her spine prickled and she suddenly found the energy after all to obey the Alpha female's summons.

"Mommy?" the pup called when she spotted Amekaze stationed near a fringe of trees at the edge of the rendezvous site. "What's happening to the light?" she queried, looking thin as a whip as she jogged over to her mother.
