Sunbeam Lair red was the first color

Shi and her sisters are fourteen days old now! That means its about time for her eyes to open >:)

In darkness she had dwelt, a deep, red, comfortable dark. She had not known shape or color, only form. She knew the smaller bodies of her sisters and the goliath shapes of her parents, but did not know them as anything but their feel. She had blind forever, and so she thought she would remain. Yet one day, appropos of nothing, she found her eyelids slipping open.

The world expanded instantly.

Even in the dim of the den she found herself overwhelmed by this new sense, and cried out. She was shocked to see the play of lines and loose shapes across the scene she saw before her, not inhibiting her vision but enhancing it, adding life to the dim sights. Buhbuhbuh, she gurgled, curious, and shrieked in delight.
