Despite the peril and uncertainty surrounding the animals of Third Earth? Felline found herself basking in the beauty of the sunset how the magical copper orb of fire painted the stunning heavens shades of lilac, fuchsia, and orange.
It never ceased to amaze her. The sun embodied hope, even when it set still radiated its enchantment. The young leopardess was so captivated by the natural phenomenon she didn't realize someone had joined her.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" spoke a kind voice that caused the young cat to jump. Quickly turning, she saw it was Lion-o, King of the ThunderCats. However, he was still far from the vision of a monarch than his father was. Even after all their breakneck undertakings, they'd been on to reclaim the Power Stones and thwart Mumm-Ra? His face still held the image of his youth and wonder.
Hence he hadn't been physically hardened by their treacherous quest. She smiled before scooting closer and replying, "Yes, it is quite captivating. Before moving to Thundara, my sister and I used to watch the sunset together.
This time of day? Everything in the world is at peace, that we can appreciate life's simple pleasures. To be able to count our blessings. Then when daybreak ascends, we witness this miracle again."
"We haven't had many moments of peace since the fall of our empire, have we?" he asked forlornly.
He didn't notice she laid her hand over his to comfort him. "No, we have not. Still, we should try to take joy in these fleeting moments. As the sun descends, I find only my good memories awash my mind," gazing wistfully at the sun. She said before speaking quietly, "Of a simpler time before the pain that wrought my family apart. Before all heartache and loss we've endured. I find myself simultaneously joyful and melancholy."
Lion-o then squeezed her hand before answering. "I find myself too in these fleeting moments of peace, Felline. I think back on my youth and when my father was still alive. I don't see the world torn apart any more than my heart in my dreams."
"Lion-o, we both know misery and anguish are a part of life. They build us up to be stronger. If we never knew sorrow, we'd never understand joy. It doesn't make it hurt any less. But what doesn't kill us makes us stronger."
"Do you believe we're still strong enough to save this world? And all who call it home?"
"Let's not wonder about the future, Lion-o. Instead, let's appreciate this moment of peace. Let's not think about the what-ifs or past regrets. Instead, let's live in this moment." The two young cats gazed at each other before leaning into a kiss. Yes, the sunset was a magical time without a doubt.
