Herbalists' Cache the long summer

Darkness existed as long as he had. Caan had welcomed it, for there was nothing else.

His world expands with the cracking of one baby blue eye. The light is blinding to one unused to sight. The familiar darkness stretches and fades to become shadow, light filling in the remainder of the world.

There he lay, one eye opened as he tried to comprehend the newness of this sensation. Hazy vision gaining the beginning of definition as the other eye follows suit of the first.

It is overwhelming. He would shutter his eyes closed if he wasn't frozen in place. Rounded head wobbling with the effort of lifting, Caan soon came to understand that with sight his world expanded beyond light, shadow, and color.

He sees them; his siblings as they squirm. C'ede shines brilliant within the swatch of midnight their kin made. In time Caan would see the same brilliant white upon his own face, but currently he only sees the darkness of his paws.

Ghe'naya is just as stunning. The shadow to C'ede's light, her brow is marked by her own personal star.

Captivated by them both, Caan stares. Stunned that there is more to those closest to him than their familiar scent and the pressure their bodies leave upon him.
