Moonspear ^_______^

By now, the pups were free to roam the mount a little. @Kaujimaq and @Pauk took advantage of this freedom much more often than Tiuttuk, who honestly preferred accompanying @Sialuk whenever possible. On occasion, they ventured on their own to @Elentari’s and @Moonshadow’s ulax to visit with the other pups.

For the very first time, they stepped off the beaten path and began to climb downhill a ways. The sun beat down rather relentlessly as cicadas’ hums resonated in the balmy air. Named after a bird, Treepie felt more like a lizard today, happily scurrying about in the summertime heat.

They came upon a spring tumbling from somewhere high above, trickling across the footpath to continue downward into the neighboring glen. They dipped down for a quick drink, then decided they would try to hop to the water’s far side. They coiled their patchwork haunches, rump wriggling from side to side for a moment before they sprang.

Their hind paws just barely touched the water on the other side. Pie scrambled ahead with a little shriek, the touch of ice cold water on their paws giving them an intense case of The Zoomies™.
