Wisps in the air

Damien was learning to be sneaky. Unlike Cicero, the shadow pup had picked up pretty easily the lessons he'd had with daddy, and now he was putting it to practice as he stalked Potema out of the den and away from the rendezvous site. The sky-eyed girl walked for hours, and Damien followed. She was going to a place where the eldest son had never been before, it was a silent place, very silent, and the puddles abounded.

Although still covered by snow, the forest was pretty dark, and nothing could be more beneficial for the dark pup than an obscured path to go unnoticed by his sister, and just to be more sneaky than the sneakiest sneaker, the shadow pup moved through the lowest bushes. But then, things got really weird. Suddenly, a blue light appeared in front of the snowy princess, it was dancing in the air, so ethereal, so magical that the shadow pup was left open-mouthed at its sight. Potema tried to reach out for it, failing epically, but the pup was too amazed to care about his sister.

There was little that Damien could do to avoid being really intrigued about the new discovery, and driven by his adventurous heart, the eldest Melonii sprinted through the shadows and out of the bushes. He was going to catch the light, with a jump over his sister, the pup attempted to grab the dancing light, but for some strange reason, his paws got right through it and he landed on the ground, empty-handed and right on his belly.
