Shadow lay on the soft, moss-speckled ground under a large walnut tree. She
looked up towards the bright sky. Branches from the tree stretched towards
it. Was it because they loved Frith and he gave them warmth, she wondered,
or was it because they knew the world they lived in was no good and wanted
to get away from it?
She stared up at Frith. If she stared at him long enough he seemed to blind her and make her feel like her surrounding were no longer the same, like she was somewhere else more peaceful. Shadow sat up and looked around her. It was soon easy to see that she could no longer just wish she were in a better place. She had to find a warren soon. On weak, aching legs, Shadow began to hop into a clearing. The directions she could go seemed endless the more she thought about it, but they all seemed equally hard and long from the clearing she was standing in. The doe kit took a deep breath and began to hop in her chosen direction.
After traveling until Frith's light no longer shined so high in the sky, she stopped to sleep in a hollow log. The doe kit nibbled on the moss a bit and was soon fast asleep.
