As far away as the eye could see, the world opened, a small, blue marble spinning in space. Focusing on a part of the North American continent, then closer, and closer.
It was a fine day, the birds a chirping, the wind sweet with the promise of summer. The caldera bloomed with spring, fragrant flowers and the small bees attending to them.
It was on this day that young Cardinal escaped the den. It was rather an accident, she had been trying to back up, but had run all the way out of the den. She landed straight on her back, staring up at the sky above her head. A butterfly, the small scales on its wings glittering, landed on her nose for a brief moment in time.
The girl froze, nose poised in the air, to allow the butterfly to sit on its pad a while longer.
