Dragoncrest Cliffs Cordierite

As Sequoia unfurled herself from her litter-mates, the only boy cracked a baby blue eye open to peer up at her. She seemed to take no notice of her watchful brother, instead turning her attention to the glorious world that lay just beyond their family's den. Dacio lifted his charcoal-tipped crown from atop @Opalia's shoulders to observe his piebald sister's venture into the unknown and, as she toddled out of his line of sight, chose to follow.

Desperate not to be last one out, the sterling pup gathered himself and clumsily hurried to the cave's mouth with a frustrated "rrrr," before stomping into the sunshine to march right up to his mother in demand of her attention.
