Northstar Vale When's the last time you saw a damn bear in Scranton?

Lilitu had a lot of recurring dreams, but none so frightening as this one.

A great hulking creature, brown and ugly, its face twisted into a snarl. So much bigger than she ever could be. Reared up onto its hind legs, blocking out the sun. Its foreleg rising, rising, swinging back—

She only ever had time to realize its massive paw heading directly toward her face before she woke up, every time, her head splitting with pain and a cry in her throat.

It was no different this evening. She'd been enjoying an afternoon nap, full of milk, when the creature had appeared. The same as always—it came and created terror, and then it rounded on her. Reared up, foreleg lifted, paw swinging. . .

Lilitu came to, let out a yelp and then broke down into whimpers, pressing her throbbing skull into her paws. Once the agony had subsided enough, she lifted her chin, turned her head, and—

Wot in tarnation?

LIGHT, that somehow only existed in her dreams. LIGHT, brighter than anything this world had to offer before. She blinked, and then realized she could blink. Jaw agape, she turned to her sister,

OHMYGOD! Her sister! She was small and brown and perfect. Somehow she'd never thought about actually seeing her sister, her mother; they were just there. Lilitu turned and AH! There was Ibis, too! Beautiful and bright and cream-furred and perfect!

Pain pretty much forgotten, Lilitu stood on wobbling stubby forelegs and hopped in place, awkward but utterly excited.

This was new! This was new! This was new!

Somebody share this with her before she explodes!
