It was summer! And the season brought with it so many extraordinary things! At the cusp of the change the world had grown brighter, the palm of the earth that housed New Dawn much warmer. The springtime rains had left the forest and plains verdant and flowering, and so much life flourished. This would be their first summer in New Dawn, and it was beautiful.
Titania trotted gaily down a mossy pathway within the woods, her paws dancing over the ground effortlessly. Her tail was propped high and wagged despite there being no one around to wag for; she was just happy. Golden eyes perused the forest as she traveled through it.
She hadn’t been out long before she heard the beckoning call of one of her dearest pack sisters. Her paces came to a halt and she lifted her ears to receive the sound. This howl… it was a call of duty, but not the tedious kind that rang out so often. Titania’s smile grew wider and in an instant she began running, leaving the path and darting through the trees until she bounded out of the foliage and into the clearing where Ciara was.
She laughed the moment she saw her pack sister, and barked a greeting. Here I am! Come to play! she said in the nonverbal language of the wolf kindred as she raced over the grasses. Bright tendrils of sunlight warmed the clearing and the dandelion poufs made the world fuzzy as they danced all around – more and more fluff flew into the air in the wake of Titania’s paws.
Her smile was so wide that her tongue lolled out of her mouth as she ran. Ciara didn’t even have to ask for a game of tag because Titania ran right up to her, nipped her on the cheek and then ran past, grinning a toothy grin over her shoulder as she ran to the opposite edge of the clearing.
