Chapter Two
The pups hurried forward after their mother. They stopped, stunned by the sight that met their eyes. a whole new world, light, colours, indeed, it was the first time any one of the pups had been able to see each other properly.
Korren was probably the darkest of them, he had a dark grey upper pelt, with a tinge of brown in it, he then had a light grey underbelly. he had almond eyes, and black ear tips.
Zanu looked much like a husky, with an almost black upper coat, and a very light, almost white, underbelly. He also had brown eyes, and black paws, and tail tip.
Lia was much like her mother. She was a very light brown on her upper pelt. and a white underbelly. Her eyes, in contrast to her brothers, were a bright green. she had one black paw and one black ear tip, each on opposite sides of the body.
They stood, stunned, for a few minutes, hardly moving. then they turn to see their father, for the first time in their lives. Their eyes filled with admiration for their protector. He had a dark, almost black coat, with a dark grey underbelly. he had black paws, which faded up his legs. he had a black tipped tail as well. "I'm going to hunt now" he smiled down at his pups. "She hasn't eaten for a long time" He chuckled, before heading down a steady slope toward a large blue lake, with a pine forest right next to it.
After they had gotten over the amazement of the dazzling new world, they went straight to investigating every thing!
"what's this?" asked Koren as he put his front two paws on a large conifer tree, looking up at the birches. "its a tree" replyed his mother. "Its big" said Zanu as he and Lia walked up to Koren."yes, trees are big" she smiled. "Wow......" Lia muttered, looking from its mangled roots, up its old, peeling, bark, to its tangled branches. The pups started exploreing every where. There were, small, long, thin, blades of green plants, that were every where, called grass. There were tear shaped green things clumped thickly together by branches, called bushes. There were small creatures that glided around on large decorative wings that looked like pieces of paper, called Butterfly's. They would jump over small tufts of grass, to find a huge boulder! Indeed, by the time the pups were content they knew the names of every thing their mother was quiet worn out. the explanation of sky had taken some time.
"Is it just me, or is it getting darker?" asked Zanu. "Well I can tell you one thing, its not just you" said Koren, looking skywards. "bed time" said their mother, walking towards the den, laying down inside. "aaaaww" said the pups together, getting up and following her none the less. they padded in and curled up in her soft fur, falling asleep instantly from their exciting day.
