Moonspear ^_^

the rains of spring had begun to dull the colors of his fort. the vibrance was disappearing, much like the dependance of his youth. he and maggak would soon be sent to learn from the other villages and when they returned, they would be considered children no more. was he supposed to feel ready to become an adult? was it supposed to feel this terrifying? 

he dragged his feet through the muddied soil until the ulaq came to view, a small, calico babe capturing his attention as he stepped near. "look at you!" he cooed as he stood overhead to block the rain from his younger sibling. "quite the explorer already, huh?" 

it was a marvel to think that once, he had been that small too.
