you are the light, to my soul

you are my purpose, you're everything

The warmth of the sun above filtering down and between the tree tops seems to glide along her coat, causing her to pause; tilting her head back. As she seems to lean her face into the light, a sigh of content escaping her as she for a moment her eyes close and she just absorbs this moment. At the sound of a singing bird do pale eyes flutter open, the cheerful melody has her tail swaying behind her and a soothing smile on her lips as she watches the small bird flutter nearby before landing on a low branch. A slight noise escaping her; it's low and gentle tone accompanied by her wiggling body. Blowing a kiss to the feathered creature before turning back upon the well worn path, the lovely song soon merging into the distance as the other sounds of the peaks filter into her ears. It seemed once again the child found herself outside of the den, giving her mommy and Reich time with the new babies. Such precious things they were, from her two little sisters and brother. She could not wait for them to venture out, she had so much to show them for the beauty of Spirane was never ending and to see that through their eyes would be just as it had been with her, amazing. Though today the destination she had in mind was not a place for her newest little siblings, pale green eyes are quick to linger at one of the peaks. She remembers the princes speaking of such a place, high within the sky. Though she is not brave enough to tempt such without them or Illa, she is content at one of the lower reaches.

The shift in terrain at first is unsettling and for a moment there is a slight feeling of unease, pale eyes shifting nervously at the uphill climb before her. Before a timid paw reaches out and tests the step that seemed worn within the earth. For a moment she holds her breath, until it is quickly exhaled at the hold it has. She knows she is not big like Vladimir or Drogon but for a slight moment she had thought it wouldn't hold her small body. As her head tilts back to look up and with a steady breath she begins the short ascent that promised a ledge at the end of the journey. One that would promise sights that had never been seen as of yet, perhaps that is why she feels a sense of bravery. Imagining at the end the reward of beauty will surpass her fear at what is before her. Though the climb goes far better than expected, her slight weight makes for a quick and effortless climb and before she knows it, cream toes are settled upon even and solid rock.

Pale green eyes widen at what they see, no longer did she have to imagine the tops of the trees for she was in this moment higher than they were. The vast open sky above her no longer hindered by the foliage instead she can see it just as clearly as she had in Asteraia. A smile grows wide and carefree upon her lips, as she steps further upon the wide ledge, until the edge is within a few steps away; careful to not get too close and risk falling. As if to make sure of this, she is quick to sit upon the stone, tail splayed out behind her as it waves continuously upon the ledge. Her focus on the world that surrounds her at this height. No longer did she feel so small and fragile, for once she feels big. For a brief moment she looks down at her feet, wondering if somehow the journey had made them larger, maybe as large of Panzer's. A slight chuckle escapes her when she notices they had not indeed changed, as she wiggles her small toes before glancing back at the view. The peace that surrounds her soothes her and allows her to just absorb all the beauty around her. Illa would need to see this, to share this with her sister would be even more special. She wonders if the princes had been here before? For they seemed to know the mountains the best, or perhaps Jackson? If not, she would share it with them too. Slowly do her eyes close, tilting her head up and basking in the warmth of the sun. It is then a tickle in her throat begins, remembering the cheerful melody of the bird, her lips soon part to release her own blissful song high among the peaks. The soft tones seem to echo all around her and she cannot help the smile that breaks within her song, unleashing all of her happiness to be heard.

At the ending tones, she does not lower her head. Instead she blinks against the bright light of the sun, the bond she felt towards Spirane furthering growing. If but only the child knew that in her blood the mountains were just apart of her as the plains. For it was her grandparents whom once lived within a place like this, where her father had grown up. A feeling of overwhelming affection for this land and everyone she had met within it; Spirane was home. She felt free within it's peaks, at peace among it's timeless landscape. Content to sit here for the remainder of the day and watch the sun set below the horizon. As her head lowers back, pale green eyes dancing as they just watch the world live and breath. A beauty she will never forget..
