Sanguine Cove feel it all around

For Mona!
Random Event! You keep hearing loud snaps and cracks, and when you look up you see that showers of color are exploding and disappearing from the sky in the far distance.

For one reason or another, sleep felt impossible. So she had wormed herself free of familiar bodies and stepped out into the cold, night air. The world was being softly swept in a new dusting of snow when she emerged. Lightly, carefully. As if Mother Nature suddenly had great concern for how she placed snow upon the earth.

Then a cracking sound. A snap. A pop.

Her heart hammered in her chest and she took off without thinking. Up, up, up on a trail she had traveled with Magg. As she panted for air and reach a ledge, she heard this sound again.

But now she witnessed colors too. Bright and brilliant, far off in the distance.

The den was growing crowded, and not with her family. She hated that so many were gone and that one of them was Matos, who was by far her favorite sibling. A part of her, one that had learned not to speak up, hated that it took the center of attention off of her and put it on those that weren't even here to enjoy it.

When one of those bodies wriggled away in the middle of the night, Mona followed. No way in hell was someone else going to disappear and make things even worse!

When the pop split the night Mona froze, only to find Adora had sprinted off. Mona took off after her climbing a path up the mountain that she hadn't taken before. She wondered just how long they would be climbing, and was considering turning around when she found Adora stopped on a ledge. She was about to tell the girl off when she saw the colors. "What is that?" she gasped.

It was good that she had not been standing right on the edge. Otherwise the voice of another might have sent her tumbling down into the rocky slopes below.

Instead, she sucked in a sharp breath of air. Head whipped to see who it was. She did not vocalize that she had wished it was @Magg or @Apolline instead of...this girl! But she tried to soothe herself. Reminded herself that everybody here was a good face. Otherwise she would not be here!

I-I don't know! She shook her head side to side. Breathless, stunned.

The sky crackled and popped once more. Another flare of sparkling lights in the sky.

She hadn't meant to make the other girl jump, but Mona couldn't contain a snort of amusement at the sight - that is, until another pop split the night, accompanied by a colorful flash. She flinched, but moved to stand beside the new girl and look out over the valley, watching the distant colors. "It's not lightning," she said, as if stating the obvious would help them deduce what in the world was going on. "There's not clouds."

She wondered if the noise would wake up her parents and if she'd end up being in trouble for running off, but this was a new enough thing that, with her curiosity piqued, she wasn't as worried about it as she otherwise might have been. Maybe dad would know what it was, though. Or Uncle Chan, since he traveled so much.

Truthfully, Adora appreciated the casual deducing of things. She had not lived on a mountain nearly as long as the other wolves here. Maybe the clouds here did this sometime! Or the storms! Alas.

Maybe it's...stars? She did not know whether to be horrified or enchanted by the thought of it! Stars that combusted into a million other little stars. It might explain how there was so many in the sky every night. It must be. She softly declared under her breath.

Another, smaller pop of light, even further off into the distance.

Maybe they're falling into the woods below!

Falling stars, huh? The idea was intriguing... and lent itself to a wild dancing of imagination in Mona's mind. A grin slowly split her maw. "Think they're really falling into the forest?" she asked, tail waving. "Maybe we can find 'em and catch 'em!" She bounced on her feet, stretching to see over the ledge without getting close enough to risk falling. If her dad saw her so close to such an edge, she would be in big trouble for sure. She knew what happened to grandpa and didn't want to have to listen to dad's boring lectures about safety again.

Another pop split the night and a rainbow of sparkles rained down. It was far away, but distance was such an arbitrary thing to a pup with a game in mind. "Let's go find 'em! We can be the first wolves ever to have a star of our very own!" She spun, only pausing to make sure her newfound companion would be following her.

Despite how badly she wished to share this moment with one of the other girls that she was closer to, this girl was not all terrible. Not really.

Especially when the other girl seemed keen to take charge! Declaring they ought to go and find one of those fallen stars for themselves! Adora could only be charmed, smitten by the idea! Coming! This yelled as she beamed brightly. Almost as bright as the falling stars, as they had deemed them such.

What color do you think is a fallen star!?

White? Yellow? Blue?! Oh, she wished it to be a million colors all at once!
