She strode on legs that had grown long and elegant with her age. She had dark stockings that faded into her dark brown fur. She was getting used to her recent growth spurt, the added height to her frame with minimal width being added. She was becoming more wispy like a willow tree with every coming full moon. She still has her long and thick winter fur, which added some to the thickness of her frame, but even still she was lithe and almost looked as if she could blow away in the wind.

And the wind was picking up on her day of exploring. The afternoon was coming upon her, and she was no where near home. The clouds had moved in quickly, and the one blue sky was clouded with a darkening grey. She frolicked in the grass so green with spring, grinning to herself as she watched a colored butterfly pass by her. Her rainbow eyes blinked as she watched it pass by, disappearing the thick green and flowers ahead. It did cause the elegant female to look towards the sky that had grown so dark, and when she did she felt the cold thump of a rain drop upon her nose.

That drop quickly began to turn into many drops, and there was only one place to shelter herself from the rain. The grotto was right ahead, and there was a dark entrance of cover in the network of caves. She bounds forward, her fur of brown, gold, and red, starting to get touched with water drops as her paws land on cold stone. She hears the crack of thunder as she enters the cave, shaking off the excess water as she goes forth.

It is not all dark inside the grotto. The entrance held a hole in the ceiling, where the grey light filters in as well as the downpour of rain. She paws in lightly, moss patched into the ground as she views the rain falling into the grotto. She would remain dry from where she is, sitting on her haunches with her dark tail wrapping around her paws. She was not scared to be here, in fact she simply viewed the world with a simple wonder as she watch the rain continue to fall through the opening. Once it is no longer raining, she would go home to her family, but for now, she was content to watch in this magical little spot until the thunderous storm passes.
