Rising with the dawn as often as he did had left Aquillius with a fine tuned internal clock, and he was still quite following it. He was growing lean with muscle, even more so as he began to get closer to a milestone of a year.
It wouldn’t be for some time yet, but Aquillius was almost the man he would become. Minus a few centimeters of height, and some muscle build, of course.
This morning he came back from a predawn run through the canyon, avoiding the southernmost parts to keep his pelt from adorning a coyote den. He slowed his pace beside the oasis, slipping quietly into its borders. After a quick look back and forth, the eaglet padded into the water with a short sigh of relief, making it to where the water touched his belly fur and plopping onto his side there, letting the water cool his overheated skin.
