As winter warmed into spring, the wolves of Vandrow and the tigers of the White Wood saw their once snow covered world waking up from it's peaceful slumber and coming back to life. The winter had been particularly harsh that year, resulting in deaths from both wolves and tigers. Spring was the relief that carnivore and prey alike had waited what seemed to be forever for. The little animals emerged from their burrows and hollows, blinking and squinting in the bright sunlight before starting their busy little days to look for food and water or introduce their young to the outside world for the very first time. For the wolves and tigers, it was just another day, maybe just a bit warmer with the color of new leaves and grass starting to grow. --------------------- Lila woke up early, sitting up with a yawn and stretching out her small frame before looking around the den she shared with her mate, Chincf. She lightly nudged his shoulder with her muzzle to wake him up, it was their job to get the hunting party together in the mornings. "C'mon, time to wake up," She said. --------------------- Kita woke up quite abruptly when Anum pounced on her, letting out a startled yip and an annoyed growl at her sister before curling back up to try going back to sleep. "Kita, wake up, I'm bored!" Anum whined, batting at Kita's ear. "Go away Anum, I want to sleep," Kita grumbled back.
