There was stillness and peace around Gideon.

He lay like that for some time, motionless under his adoptive sister's scrutiny and as unaware of the thoughts swirling above him as he was of the fact that he was different. It would be moons before Gideon realized there was anything about him that set him apart from the rest of Rivenwood. With any luck, it would be many more before Gideon realized the whole world was ruthless and bloodthirsty where differences like his were concerned.

For now, he was one of many, the same as the other puppies in the den: a pudgy little boy with an insatiable appetite, which was already rearing its ugly little head again. He wasn't still much longer; Gideon began to squirm when his tummy rumbled, and then he was on the move again, wiggling his way out of his little dent in the earth and seeking a spot to nurse once more.
