Wild Rye Fields A puppy fills a place in your heart you never knew was empty

Introducing the one and only goof Vasilisa Artemieva! AW, but of course a special tag for mama @Adelayde and daddy @Laike and brother @Nikolai :D

Her world consisted of her mama, her brother, the safety of then den and sometimes her daddy. She knew each member of her family primarily through scent but now by vague colors as her vision began to improve. The den was becoming increasingly less fun and the bright light was becoming much more enticing. The tiny Artemieva would always try to get past her mother and escape the den, crying in protest when she was stopped.

Today Vasilisa was determined to make it through the bright light no matter what. Mama had just left her and Nikolai in the den going through the forbidden light. Short stubby brown legs lifted her pudgy body and wobbled a bit before finding balance. She padded as quickly as she could to the light not caring what her brother was doing. She stopped short of the entrance being excited to simply be this close.

Her coal nose gave the light barrier a quick sniff before she turned herself around. Unsure of what was on the other side Vasi didn’t want to face it head on. So, she turned herself around and stuck her rear end over the barrier first. Not feeling anything, she gave her back legs a quick wiggle. Continuing to not feel anything excitement filled her as she reeled backwards into the world.

Being only three weeks old the girl didn’t have very good walking skills so she naturally went tumbling. She giggled as she came to a stop. Opening her puppy blue eyes she quickly shut them again from the overwhelming brightness. Quickly she got over it and began to adjust to the sunlight. Vasilisa sat in wonder as she took in all the sights around her. Her tiny maw was open with a childish smile as her tail thudded against the ground. So this is what’s out here.

The scents in the den had changed, that was the first thing the tiny male had noticed as he slowly stirred from a light doze. The patterning of his sister’s clumsy paws across the soft den floor roused him, slowly, he blinked open his baby blue gaze, the darkness that he had known all of his life had slowly become replaced by subtle tones of brown. The scent of his mother now had a shape to it, large, warm and comforting. She was gone throughout through that mysterious screen of white that he worked so hard to keep him and his sibling from exploring.

Today was the day that seemed to be their chances to sieve life with their own paws. At least, after he had a chance to wake up first. A tired little noise escaped Nikolai as he blinked slowly, watching his sister with some confusion as she bumped her rump up against the strange barrier. Was that the secret? He hadn't even noticed their mom doing that, though, he hadn't been able to really notice anything until now. Out she went, tumbling through with a giggle and leaving him all alone.

It was feeling Nikolai wasn't used too, and he didn’t like it one bit. A protesting squeaky escaped and he scrambled unsteadily onto his own short pudgy paws and started toward the exit. His legs were growing stronger, but this walking thing was very new and tiresome. He didn’t like it one bit.

A second furry butt poked through the entrance of the den, he paused, expecting something...anything, the gentle grasp of his mother or father’s teeth dragging him back in, but there was nothing. Slowly, he crawled out and realized a couple of things as he turned to face his sister. One was that she was a genius, and second, it was bright out here. He closed his eyes to the sudden rise in the light. He was less impressed this his sister, longing all ready for the warm comfort of the den.

Stealing a moment or two to quench the thirst that plagued her throat, Adelayde had made sure the twins were sleeping soundly within the depths of the birthing den. At three weeks old, they've grown drastically from the small plump bodies she miraculously gave birth to. Their personalities were polar opposites of each other, similar to that of their parents, however she felt the love and connection they had as siblings. When one was too far from the other, there would be protests until they were close once again.

Knowing she wouldn't be gone long, the mother didn't alert Laike for babysitting duties—not that he was usually very far from the birthing den to begin with. The creek wasn't far, just a few minutes, but in that time she was unaware of the trouble the twins were getting themselves into. Motherhood was still awfully new to the Artemieva, but she would soon learn to always expect the twins to be getting themselves into mischief regularly.

Her mismatched eyes had the birthing den in sight, but she wasn't expecting to see the twins outside. A smile fitted upon her lips as she approached the two cubs. A comforting grumble rolled through her chest as she reached for her first born, placing a kiss upon his head before reaching for her daughter to give her the same treatment. My loves, getting yourselves in trouble already?

The world around her was still quite blurry for the most part but was way more interesting than the den. Bright puppy blue eyes detects movement coming from the den. She looked to see her brother pop out just as she had. A small yip came from her maw as she went to greet him. Her stubby legs wobbled as she made her way to him puppy kisses and nips adorned his face. She loved her broth, he had been there from the very beginning the only other constant in Vasi's life besides their mama. Speaking of...

The familiar comforting sound of her voice reached the girl's small ears sending yet another wave of excitement through her. "My loves, getting yourselves in trouble already?" She didn't have a clue what those words meant yet but she did know what that kiss to her crown meant. "Mmmmm!" she called to her bouncing between all four and her back legs trying to reach the woman's chin.

The small male didn't get much time to be able to complain but the bright light, slowly, he opened his eyes and turned, A furry shape, almost exactly his own hight crawled toward him, nipping and kissing his face. Nikolai squeaked out a small protest in response. A new voice, well new to the scene, not to the boy’s ears, it had been the first voice he had ever heard in fact called out. A confused whine escaped the cub before he felt a new weight press down between his ears.

It was their mama, that he did know, his lil tail wagged uncontrollably as he crawled toward the blurry shape, pressing his petite form aginst her towering broad legs while his sister was trying to nip at her chin. The boy was perfectly content to sit between her paws.

so sorry for the late reply >.<

While the twins looked starkly similar in their outside appearances, they were rather quite different in personality. Lowering her muzzle, the mother kissed her rambunctious daughter as she jumped towards her chin. Seeing Nikolai contently sitting between her paws, Ade reached to caress his nose with a kiss. The two of them completed her world, adding so much value to the little family Adelayde and Laike had started. Their daughter had a little fire within her, reminding her of how she was when she was younger. While Nikolai was so much like his father, in looks and personality. Reaching down towards Vasilisa, she playfully nuzzled the tawny girl's side, allowing her if she could reach, tug on her ear in rebuttal.

Mama reached down so she could nip her chin and the tawny girl couldnt be happier. Excited squeals fell from her own maw as her tiny tongue kissed her mothers maw. Too enthralled with playing Vasi failed to see that her brother was just sitting there like a lump on a log. Had she noticed she surely would have toppled into him to get him to play. She would settle for her mom then - not that it was settling. Adelayde's playful nudging was enough to entice the girl as playful growls came from her inky lips. Vasi reached up to try to grab her ear but couldnt quite reach. That wouldn't deter her though for Vasilisa Artemieva wasnt one to quit.
