Redhawk Caldera gather round

When Nightjar slung his arm over her shoulder, she smiled sideways at him. Raven settled on her other side, so Wildfire leaned forward to touch her nose to her sister's sooty cheek. Then six pairs of bright eyes lifted when Fox began with the line, "Once upon a time..."

The Alpha female spoke of the sun, the moon, the stars. The tale culminated in an argument between the sun and the moon. Wildfire's ears slipped backward and she glanced upward, as if expecting to see the two astral forces dueling in the sky overhead. Of course, the moon was nowhere in sight and the sun was so bright that she had to squint and look away, back toward Fox.

In spite of its intolerable brightness, the sun sounded like a good guy. Did that make the moon a bad guy? Wildfire liked to gaze at it and the stars at night. Whose side would she take? Evidently, she had been put here to be the sun's buddy, not the moon's. Still, the small child felt torn... until she realized that she almost never saw the sun and moon out at the same time. So maybe she could be friends with them both and they wouldn't even know about each other.

Before Wildfire could delve any deeper into her internal conflict, Raven sneezed, scattering the red pup's thoughts and causing the redhead to loudly shush her sister, eyes once more settling on Fox's face. Was there more to the story?
