Redhawk Caldera Once upon a time

A strange dream caused Wildfire to twitch in her sleep, accidentally kicking Nightjar in the face and causing one of his teeth to wedge into the thin webbing between her toes. With a quiet cry, she jerked awake and withdrew her foot, then sat up and blinked around rather blearily. The remnants of her dream vanished into the ether. Her brother and sister were asleep beside her and their father's great black silhouette blocked most of the doorway. He, too, appeared to be resting.

Slowly, the young puppy clambered to her feet, yawning and stretching all the while. She then padded over to Peregrine, pouncing on her father's tail and causing him to sit up silently and look at her. Wildfire smiled, though before she could think of what to do next, both their heads jerked to look outside. A bellowing Elwood was approaching. The sight of her godfather caused Wildfire's tail to stir and it only took a single glance at Peregrine before she was darting from the den to meet the Beta male.

"Hiyee!" she warbled, black tail low and wagging as she neared him. When she reached Elwood, Wildfire bounced up to plant a kiss on his chin. "Ood ning!" she greeted cheerily. Then: "Ook!" She scampered suddenly back toward the den, bounding past the Alpha male's outstretched legs, diving behind him and then reemerging with something—a well chewed deer hoof—clutched in her teeth. This she spat out on the Beta male's foot the instant she returned to him.
