For the first time in her short life, the girl was bored and restless. She'd been sleeping most of the day and conserving her energy in case her siblings decided to go off on a wayward adventure that required rescuing and returning them back home safely but in the recent days the Glen had been quiet. Almost too quiet--like an eerie silence--that was beginning to make her uncomfortable, the darkest child couldn't help wondering where was everyone?. Takis was barely a ghost of a shadow to her, and Celandine too had begun to slow down and test the boundaries of their parents less and less, which left innocent Evy and she wasn't brave enough to test anything beyond their warm den; she craved her parent's praise and didn't dare anger them.


Today was different though, the silence was intriguing and boring at the same time and as she used her limbs, which were getting stronger by the day, she poked her head from the cave to see where everyone had ventured off to. The moment she did her eyes saw nothing, in fact it was harder to see the longer she strained them and she pulled her head back into the den, scared of this new obstacle. Never before had she witnessed anything like a fog, but something inside her told her to push forward to see what it was about, perhaps on the other side were her brother and sister waiting to play with her. With this thought she ran from the mouth of the den, bracing herself for impact but nothing came, in fact the fog bent to her will and engulfed her small frame in an embrace so thick that she could not see in front of her.


She panicked, her heart rate picked up and breathing grew deeper as she contemplated what she'd just done--now she'd never get back to her parents! "Help!" she cried, whining in between breaths, "M loss!" and she curled into a small ball in a attempt to disappear from this strange veil that engulfed her and shielded her from her family.

Takis snoozed in a corner of the den – so very pressed in to the back of the wall that it seemed no one even noticed he was there. His ears twitched at the sound of foot falls – but the familiar whoosh of air and the scent that accompanied it revealed to him that mom and dad weren’t home – no, this was the sound of something else.

Blinking his eyes open, Takis took in the darkness of the den with blurry eyes. By now he had shed the puppy blue of his newborn hues and taken on a fiery orange much like his father – a perfect little miniature Phineas. Pushing himself up, he scanned the area bout him – Evy and Celandine were seemingly missing, and with a chuff at the thought of missing out on adventure, the clumsy pup began to tumble his way to the entrance too. Borlla and Phineas were usually quick to corral him in a safe zone, but it was always worth a try each time.

No sooner did he peep outside did he stare in awe – the thick fog cloaked the Glen like a mysterious apparition. Taking one hesitant step out, he could hear Evy then, crying for help. She sounded close, but he could not see her, and confusion welled up in his chest at the thought of his sister being lost out there.. in that. Vyyyyyy! He squawked, his ears cupping forward as he heard the familiar voice of big sister Hypatia. Vyyy where go?!

Her ball grew tighter with fear and she began to shiver at the thought of never seeing her family again. She couldn't fathom never seeing mama or papa, they were her favorite wolves in the entire pack and her siblings, they were her constant company that she couldn't imagine losing. Her heart raced like that of a speeding car at these thoughts and the shivers grew more frequent until it seemed that she had grown cold from the chill of the fog. No sooner did she feel that she was never to see anyone again did she hear a voice filter through her small round ears and her head immediately perked upward.


She could not see a foot in front of her face and yet she knew that someone was near, struggling to smell her company she opted to use her voice instead to give her savior a little help. "I'm here!" she spoke, her voice was small and timid. As she spoke her legs gathered beneath her small body and she stood tall in the midst of the fog attempting once more to see where her company lay.


Her cry for help attracted her favorite siblings and she felt her heart drum loudly in her chest. They had come to rescue her, what a coincidence! Her ears instinctively perked forward as she searched by sound alone for approaching feet, when she heard her brother she felt her confidence grow, "Taky, I'm here" she called, his name was still difficult on her tongue therefore she shortened it to her liking. It was even more of a surprise when Celandine called through the fog and she hesitated on answering, wondering if she had truly come to help or cause more trouble. There was no doubt in her mind that her sister would use this opportunity in her favor, "Cella?" she called finally and settled to her haunches in wait for any one of them to find her.

Takis, unlike his adventurous sisters, held his paws firmly at the den opening. His bright eyes narrowed as he attempted to take in anything – but all he was met with was a swirl of pale white, a billowing smoke that seemed to swallow everything within its depths. Usually one to adventure out first – there was the fear that laced Evy’s voice and Celandine’s uncertainty that caused him to remain where he was. If Hypatia was looking for her, it wouldn’t do anyone any good if he got lost to. Somehow, this logic was pervasive to the boy, whose first desire was nothing more than to sweep out in the fog and find all three of his sisters and bring them home where they belonged. After all, was that not what his parents would do?

Vy, Cella, I here! He piped out once more, his chest puffing up as his pumpkin eyes scoured the shimmering mists. He could hear Hypatia talking – she had found Celandine and Takis released a small sigh – someday, he would realize he was feeling relief and not just his nausea fading slightly.

Evy, however, was still lost, and with a small whimper, Takis settled his rear upon the ground with a clumsy ‘plop,’ his ears twitching as they awaited anymore word. Hyppo, he announced, huffing quietly. Hyppo, y’find her yet?! Still, he could see nothing, and the wait to such a youthful mind seemed more than mere minutes.. it seemed like hours. With raptured attention, Takis waited for any word or sign of his siblings.

Her head turned this way and that in search of the body that matched these voices and yet the fog prevented her from seeing anything, not even the few inches in front of her face. She hesitated at her spot, uncertain if moving would cause her injury or risk her becoming more lost then she already was; feeling overwhelmed she whined, licking her lips as she readjusted her the weight on her paws. It frustrated her that she could not get over her fear of becoming lost, it was a general emotion that overpowered her judgements and the way she perceived every encounter, only when she grew older would she realize that the world was not always full of danger and mishaps.


The voices that surrounded her got her excited to the point where she stood, her dark tail wagging before she took a single step forward only to withdraw her paw just as quickly; she was not ready to move, not yet, not when she did not know what laid beyond this white veil. "I'm scared," she admitted, her ears pressed against her skull, waiting and hoping that eventually her older sister would show face, then it would make everything better and this whole situation would become the past. Minutes passed and Hypathia did not show, in fact it seemed that the fog concealed her so well that her sister could not get her own self out let alone her siblings, and because of this Evy began to panic; she needed to get out. Her paws moved forward slowly as she attempted this brave act of leaving behind the fog to find the voices of her siblings, each step she made frightened her as he body vibrated with fright, before long though she felt warmth and her body paused near the foreleg of her eldest sister. "Tia!" she bellowed with a wag of her runty tail, it was a feat to have faced her fear but to have found her sibling was made her the most excited, "Where Cella and Taky?" she wondered as she seemed to move with the fluidness of her sister, not wanting to get lost a second time in this fog.

@Takis @Celandine @Evy I'm in love with these guys. <3
