Phoenix Maplewood Further we fall

It hadn't been an easy journey, but the new guardian hurried his way to the marshes in hopes that Sen had yet to realize Chusi was missing. After winding his way through them, the little girl safely in his jaws away from the sucking mud, Zephyr put her on form ground to walk alone. With a warm smile and a nuzzle to her shoulder, he padded off towards the maplewood.
         "Nobody should be able to find us now, Chusi. We can walk from here."
He didn't bother to stop and clean his now Brown socks, preferring to meet the female sooner than later. He went slow so Chusi could take her time and take in the sights, especially since the sun was finally beginning to rise. He pointed his muzzle towards the ball of light and the colors that it lit the sky with. 
                          "That's the sunrise,  Chusi. Isn't it pretty?"
