Verdigris Ravine Some people watch, some people pray

Unlike his brother, Gaara showed no resistance to leaving the den and seeing the open world beyond. For a time now, when his eyes had finally found focus, Gaara's paws would straddle the opening of the cave. Where the heat of the sun aligned with the cool shadows within. Puppy blue eyes staring out as he watched his father each and every time he exit. Watching him until his body could not be distriguished between the heat rays over the sand. He whined and waited. Had to be collected many times when he tried to go off. 

Gaara was not a cave dweller. 

The Daybreaker, Seeker of the Rising Sun. 

Then, when the time came, mother allowed them out, beckoning them. Their father joined, his cave language given to describe all of which they could see. Gaara's eyes dashed from one place to the next. He ran around his parents, jumped on and playfully growled at his siblings. His excitement could not be contained now that he was no longer contained!

Then - others. He stood still and stiff when he noticed their approach. He gives a loud bark and sneezes and comes to stand at Zoug's side for back up. Other adults he had never seen and three more children, sisters. The world had not only many things in it, but many others as well.
