Broken Antler Fen There is a whole world out there!

The attention she recieved from her mother wasn't quite enough to lift Ivy's spirits very high.  Sure, she appreciated that Pearl was now a mom-shaped block to the sun, but the initial shock of brightness had left its mark.  The tiny girl let out a high-pitched whine, the frown on her face now much more pronounced.  Oh, how she longed to retreat back into the safe haven of their den!

Joyful movements of her siblings aside, Ivy felt fairly glum about the whole affair.
