Moonspear Hello world

Nashua whined right on back, his voice slipping through a smile of equal measure. She didn't seem upset that he followed her - in fact, she seemed happy enough to want him along! If she had sent him away, he still would have followed from the shadows, but now he felt better to wander out alongside her.

He plodded after his sister, his steps less springy, less graceful, more like the rocks in the riverbed he was named for than the water itself. While she pranced, he glanced at the land about them. Bright sunlight cut through the thick tangle of trees. Spring insects fluttered about the dense underbrush, and between the boughs of evergreens, Nashua caught sight of rocks taller than he'd ever hope to grow.

The child stared a moment, mouth agape. Then, a soft boof his sister's way; he hoped to direct her attention skyward, towards the towering stone. She'd already been out more than him - and had she ever seen such a sight before?
