It was a bit of an information overload, especially considering she knew next to nothing about the concept of time. Fox's eyeball analogy did make sense, though. Wildfire gazed up at the moon again as her mother mentioned that it was keeping an eye on them. Could the moon really see her? If it was an eye, did that make the sky a face? If it was, the creature must be enormous! And where was its other eye?

Suddenly, the entire concept spooked her. Wildfire's fur hackles prickled involuntarily and she shrank nearer to her mother. "Mama, I'm scared," she whimpered, trying to avoid that all-seeing gaze and the black monster that was the dark heavens. Maybe the stars weren't puppy moons or bugs. Perhaps they were freckles... Wildfire turned her head and buried her face in Fox's chest.
