Blacktail Deer Plateau insert disc 2

Any pack mates welcome! :) (or fam, ofc!)

A moon had passed. The cub's body grew and, with it, his need for more. A newfound determination to explore had overcome his usual penchant for simply eating, sleeping, and bothering his siblings. Blue eyes observed the opening of the den with more and more curiosity until one sunny afternoon he roused to find mother was nowhere to be seen. She often left the den to attend to important matters out there – in the Great Beyond – but his efforts to follow her were often thwarted by either herself pushing the cubs back into the Dark, or their father standing guard.

Neither were around today – and so Arrax seized his chance. In an instant he was upright and, bustling over his sleepy siblings, toddled eagerly into the enticing sunlight at the mouth of the den.

He blinked several times as he emerged, but as his eyes adjusted, he began to take in his surroundings with a passive countenance as if unimpressed with the grand reveal. His nose and mind however were working overtime, the many scents and sights and sounds pulling Arrax further and further from the den.
