Silverlight Terrace no, they won't be home tonight

The first daylight streaked the skies, sluicing through the dark of night with fuchsia and orange, and the Ostrega yearling dawned restless beside it. For only an instant, he marveled, but he was he was up and going well before his normal—and despite the still-lingering fog.

Luckily enough for his day, his early strides out found him @Vela—and sentiment was shared just enough for her to agree. Together they set off down the mountainside and into the valleys. When the territory began to flatten out, Jarilo started to pick up the pace to begin the first leg of the journey with a hot pace. He cantered on out into the valley below, then beyond.

He had not yet taken the time to detail his last littermate on what their mother had shared. He had found her high in the mountains, and, well.. you know how that was. But.. he would get to that when it was right. For now, Jarilo let the cold winds whip at his furs as they set off. He was in good spirits, and hoped his sister could say the same.
