Chapter 1: a cold start

Through the icy cold blizzard winds a snow leopard spotted a small, white and black figure in the snow. The snow leopard bounded across the snow, not slowing until it got to the mysterious figure. As the leopard stopped, it saw that it was a fox kit, shivering in the cold hard snow that had started to bury the kit as the blizzard grew she-leopard picked up the kit and ran towards the warmth of her own den as the storm grew she set the kit down in her own nest she curled around it and started to lick its fur to keep it warm.

The she-leopard started to fall asleep as she listened to the soft rhythm of the small,beating heart of the fox kit.

As the sun stretched across the horizon, the she-leopard woke with a startled jump as she saw the kit was not by her side. She soon settled down as she saw the kit halfway across the den, pouncing playfully on a leaf as it fluttered in the cold winds. The she-leopard walked over to the kit, careful not to startle it by her tallness compared to the kit. "Hello little one, what's your name?" She asked.

The kit looked up at her " M-my name I-is Synthia." The she-leopard laid down next to Synthia, "My name is Yukia.",she said smiling.
