Firefly Glen the warm sunlight on my skin.

Home. After a long and trying within Neverwinter Forest, home seemed like a distant possibility. Her mother had mentioned on more than one occasion that they would return to their island soon, but Huā's concept of "soon" seemed vastly different from Luli's. The koi longed for the familiarity of her birthplace, the taste of sea salt in the air, and the feel of dry sand beneath her paws.

Despite her inner turmoil, the littlest sea dragon did not complain. Luli carried on the best she could, with feigned smiles and silent reluctance. She did not deviate from this approach when her dam gathered the cubs to venture beyond their woodland shelter to acquaint with more friends from beyond their own pack, and padded along obediently after her siblings into the glen.
