its perfect!

The other stories that he was told had never started like this. The words wrapped so perfectly together, the pause of each line drawing him into the next. Alder looked on with wide wondering eyes, his tail swishing the in the grass with a mind of it's own.He couldn't have guess the sort of story that Element might choose for him, and as the lines heightened his curiosity they took him from a place he felt was close to his center. He spoke of lustless gold, deep roots and ashes but when he ended with a springing light and a new blade and a crowned king Alder felt his little heart racing and the fur on the back of his neck prickled.

He was silent, knowing that it was rude to interrupt. But he was wordless, breathless even as the feline jumped into the story and took Alder to a time and place far beyond the one in which he lived. He wasn't frightened at first, listening at the edge of his seat yes, but the place and time seemed to be a pleasant one. Such things changed, and the masked but began to learn that bravery was not such a thing always born to a beast, but given through trust and awoken by friendship. The timid pup flinched at some parts, and smiled at others, but he remained silent still, enthralled and enchanted.
