Shadess had never been beyond the shadows and murk of the tangle. A place of obviously, twisted vine, root and branches. A place of much sjade and little sun. Filled with pokey and spikey things. A place fun to play hide and seek, to try to outwit any unfortunate pupsitter. Shadess did not know a world beyond this... until now. 

There was no fear in Shadess. Rarely ever there was and it was something in which she did not like to share with others on those few occasions. Not even with maman. After all, her mother was fearless, powerful, beautiful, as far as she was concerned and already Shadess wanted to be just like her. 

She followed at her mother's side with her head and tail high. Her pine-green eyes darting around in every which direction with all the new exciting sights that caught her attention. The blue meadow was stunning and so much room to run! Then there was a tunnel and at first Shadess thought this would be their new den, until it kept going and going and going...! 

And then there was a roaring (of waves), a sound which had her fur standing on end. There as a strong scent (of salt) that smelt far different then any dirt, rock or tangled branch she had ever put her nose to. Brightness was at the end and the 'den' opened up, sands and sea out before her.

Woah... 

She and her brothers were transfixed. Lucette seeking to snatch the jellyfish gone unnoticed. Maybe she would get stung. Now Jadou was running for maman and barking out as Lafayette was getting smacked right in the face by a wave. Shadess laughing is loud at her brother's expense and she runs quick to his side. Nooo, Lafah, like thi- Another wave came, hitting Shadess in the face now and she fell back straight on her ass and into the sand.
