Redhawk Caldera flickering flame

i enjoy my threads with you so very much!

The tiny girl was a shadow; her inky figure was abnormal in comparison to her immediate family. They had worn the cloaks of slate and silver with only a sparse flowering of soot. Lucy was the darkest one of the group, and though she was not aware of it yet – it made her different. After having her eyesight clear up considerably, the boisterous young child had already started to note the fact that Liffey and Lagan were identical to each other… even down to the mysterious marking on their foreheads. While she had not been able to gaze at her full figure, the girl could see the darkness of her paws and how that same ink seemed to flow to the rest of her body. Lucy was a shadow, but Eljay was the light.
 
Leaping upward with a delighted squeal, the soot child felt her paws beat against the earth with a small amount of force that she had assumed was far greater than anything anyone had seen before. Her eyes were wide as she watched Jay fall to the ground with a huff, and she trotted clumsily over toward him with a flagging tassel. Her wide blue gaze was expectant of him to rise again and fight for his honor! But the more she watched the love in his apple green gaze, the quicker her pulse began to slow. His words were not fully understood, but she knew that they came from a place of adoration.
 
With a little bounce to her step, Lucy situated her dark body near to his figure and slumped to the earth with a quiet sigh. Resting her head between her paws and stretching out her rear legs, the shadow gazed up at her older brother with happy eyes. Her little ears were drawn forward to a point and she waited patiently to see what surprise he would have in store for her.
