The second born was only sometimes pushed over and rolled like a sad, pathetic log. He usually sent out warning cries as he fell, but would refuse to roll- plopping on the dirty floor with an annoyed whine. He did not know why this movement was so challenging, it was like some unknown force was seriously trying to hinder his development. But that was fine, maybe he'd just forever crawl. No one else crawled, as far as he knew.

Recently, things had been given sounds. He didn't know the word for them, but these beautiful things rang through his ears sometimes. They were annoying too, his siblings around him were loud and cried often, begging too much for something already being given to them. The she-beast had a voice too, but her's rarely sounded nice. The young babe felt little comfort in it, and preferred her only for food and warmth. Today, he woke with ambition, and began to exercise the muscles on his face by flexing them hardcore. Suddenly, he released with a strange relaxation, and they- oh my god- opened!

The pup was astonished, the quietest of the bunch letting out a loud cry of confusion. What?! it called out. What does this mean?! He looked around furiously for a moment, the light outside of wherever they were blinding him harshly. He forced them shut again and turned his sweet little head, back towards the she-beast and her beastlings. He opened again, trying to figure out what this was, and suddenly was putting blurred blobs to sounds. He could even put the scents to them, but it was mostly just one giant scent- and it smelled mostly of milk.

Strange things had been happening lately...

Odette had noticed lately that she had started hearing these faint noises.  It was off and on and she found it extremely annoying and weird.  It was very close to feeling vibrations.... but different.  It was a hard thing to describe she supposed.  Another weird thing was when she had woken up from her most recent nap, she eyelids had felt... well very loose, not shut tight like they usually felt.  To describe it in another matte, it felt as if her eyelids were about to pop open.  Odie did not like this feeling at all, so to let all this frustration out the pup let out an unhappy wail.

She just wanted to feel normal again.

The little brown ball of fluff then began to crawl over to her Mother, with the intent of some nice milk currently on her agenda, to sooth her cranker emotions.  She used her little nose to navigate then stumbled in the direction of the very close milk scent.  Odette then grabbed one of her Mother’s teats and began to suckle contentedly, letting out a little muffled whimper of delight as the delicious, warm milk filled her mouth.

Odette was still suckling when the unexpected happened.  Her eyes opened!  As her new hurry vision suddenly unfolded before her, the little fluffy pup let out a yelp of startled surprise.  What was going on?  Her puppy blue eyes slowly shifted up. The first thing she saw was her Mother.  Life was suddenly beautiful to Odie.  How could the world get any better than this?  With sounds know matched to images!  Sight was wonderful to her.  She didn’t think anything could be better than this, it gave her a new perspective of things.  A new, wonderful beautiful perspective.

Still looking up at the blurry brown figure of her Mother, the happy pup let out a single, but quieter yip.  As if to say:  Look at me, I can see!  Odette felt a little spark of life light up in her chest.  This was wonderful, beautiful, and spectacular!

It was a wonderful life.

When the first few shapes began to form in front of his view, he did not understand. Yet, it did not take long for him to take joy in actually knowing where he was going. This were hazy, blurry even but soon he began to adjust to the blinding light. He was, however still coming to terms with the other blobs that shared the space with him. Mother was big, he noted. And so was the figure he came to call Father. Would he be that big one day? He sure hoped so. Then he could sit on sister without the threat of her chewing on his face. Insufferable, they were. Except for Brother whom he quite liked. He generally stayed quiet and non active, much to Stoics approval. 

He instantly took to rummaging around the den, much like he had when he could not see. Everything was so WEIRD. There were walls, and rocks and bits of stuff and.. well, Mother's nose was much bigger than he had anticipated. Nevertheless, he was happy and made everyone know the fact. Excited yips of approval of his newfound superpower was given, and instantly wondered if his siblings could see to. He found them, using the vision, and roughly began clambering over them, exploring his siblings forms as he searched for his own teat to feed from. Mother seemed the like him more, as his constant attempts at getting her attention did infact, work. He had claimed his place upon her feet, which was much more comfortable than being squashed by Sister. But for now, he was quite content to just laying around.. for now.

The newly named Solemn did not understand the situation at hand, but when the She-beast growled loudly he understood there was an issue at hand. Returning his mothers frustration, he let out a loud howl -- it sounded more like a squeal -- and stared blurrily towards the brown she-beast. 

Odette looked up just in time to see her Father smile at her Mother.  It was a very blurry image image, and even though the pup could just barely make it the image out, she saw it.  She didn’t know what the motion meant, but one day she would.  One day she would understand how much that her Father had loved her, Stoic, Solemn, Adeline and her Mother.  She then watched the white wolf turn to leave.  She could feel the vibrations of her Father's pawsteps as he left the den.  It was very  soothing in a way.  Almost like a soft, sweet and calm lullaby.  With wide eyes she watched her Father leave.  A low whine escaped her throat: Don’t leave yet Daddy.  Was what the whine would most closely translate to.  Then he was gone, almost as quickly as he had come.
