For the end of March, in human months of course, the weather was abnormally warm. The sun was high in the sky, birds were chirping, rabbits and chipmunks had already been spotted here and there eating away at vegetation within the territory. It appeared as though Spring had arrived! The winter seemed to drag on forever, not so much due to the snow, but because of the gray, dark sky and the cold damp air. The pups had filled the days inside playing and learning from their parents. Ghita had rested for a long time after the birth, it wasn't easy giving birth to such a large pup as Aro after all. As for himself, well he spent the time watching the pups, teaching them basic social skills, manners, respect and such things. On his free time he found the library to be a haven of sorts, away from the smaller rooms and the pack.

Today however, was an important day. Today he was going to teach Aro the basics of being a proper Knight. Every pup in his family had been taught hunting, fighting, the importance of helping and protection, for generations! They were the Knights of the wolf world when it was simple and all animals walked on four legs and the humans walked on two! Now, as the world advanced and changed, Jazper was the first to walk on two legs, his son and daughter next in line. He started towards the hill side, where the river passed through Crimson Dreams, in his large halfling form. The sheer mass of Jazper was usually enough to scare off most danger. His shoulders were set high and rolled the muscles around them as he walked, his thick winter coat was starting to shed reviling patched of the sleek jet black summer coat. The only color visible other then this perfect black was painted on his face, the same electric yellow as his eyes forming a sun around his left eye, the symbol of the mighty sun god his family idolized.

The distinct scent of his son put a smile on his face as he took his time getting to the top of the hill. Upon reaching the top the smile only grew into a goofy grin as his golden eyes spotted the young Marino with his head stuck in the water. Sitting down he chuckled to himself as he watched Aro's attempts at fishing. There was no denying their relation, when Jazper was a pup he had been an impatient, stubborn trouble maker. In fact, he was very selfish indeed until his parents passed away. At last he grew bored, Aro was now soaked with water. Raising to his paws he called out “Aro!” Running as fast as the large paws would take him he pushed his boy to the ground and started tickling him with his nose.
