Moonspear summer sunday nights

Seal’s brown eyes grew twice their size when her Da explained their proposal. 

At first, her small body buzzed with enthusiastic excitement! She looked her sister in the face, mouth agape as she gasped. Adventure! Discovery! Thrill!

But then, it began to dawn upon her that everyone they knew and loved wouldn’t go with them… Sialuk, Alaric, Elentari, Argent, Towhee Jr, Sable… And what of the puppies yet to be born?

Seal began to deflate a little, worried that she would never see them again despite her father’s reassurance. Raiyuk and Ray had both been gone a long, long time…

But, ever plucky, Seal gave her parents a tentative yes. Maybe she would even get the opportunity to be an ambassador like her mom, who she idolized.

The young girl appreciated that she had some time to digest this new proposal… though Seal would find that her dreams began to imagine the fabled land of Sun Mote Copse and all the new beauty yet to be seen.
