Broken Antler Fen father stretch my hands pt. 1

Eyes opening! @Nova, @Ivy, @Benjamin, @Pearl, @Sebastian, & @Odette!

The sun was just setting as Mato stirred from his nap, finding the darkness that he had become all too accustomed to as he woke. But, it was as he stirred that he felt something different-- a sensation that he had never felt previously. He felt as though something was pulling near the general area of his eyes and because of this he felt unsettled. He let out a displeased growl as he laid at the side of his siblings, reaching up with his two stubby fore-paws to rub at the affected area.

He rubbed for quite some time, never realizing that his attempts were only making the discomfort worse.

Soon enough, Mato had messed with his eyes enough for their protective lids to part for the first time. Freezing as this happened the darkest of the litter, who was brightening by the day, froze as light touched his very sensitive eyes. It felt funny, but not in the way his eyes had felt before they opened. He was all too preoccupied with the blurred scenery around him and as he looked about, the child felt suddenly distracted from his previous annoyances as he began to discover this new world with his large, milky eyes.
