In this the\nfrigid winter, nothing stirred but the wind and snow. Insects had frozen solid\nand anything that flew had moved on. All creatures still living was deep in\nhibernation beneath the ground or in there warm cozy holes. One den in\nparticular stood against deaths icy grip. \nDug\ninto the base of a hill dominated by an ancient weeping willow, the hole held\nits own through the long months of ice and wind and death. Within the warm\ndarkness of this den, a recently born litter of foxes pressed and snuggled\ntightly against their mother and father. All shared the life saving warmth, and\nthey all were tightly cozied together, dreaming deep of Elysium. Winter raged\nbut the vulpine family endured.Chapter 1 (part 1)\n         In the Beginning \n                        \n            After many months, the cold subsided and spring took hold\nonce more.  All across the northern\nterritory, a plethora of creatures awoke to warmth and beauty. Many a creature\nhad been born during the harsh winter and for the first time; they viewed the\nbeautiful wilderness beyond the small den that had been their world for many\nicy months. The avians returned from the south, the insects thawed from their\nicy prisons and everywhere one looked, everything was splashed with the bright\ngreens, yellows and reds of new life. Life had returned to the north and every\ncreature large and small, from the mighty grizzly to the smallest of mice\nrejoiced. Even the fox family was filled with wonder and excitement, the kitts\nin awe at the new world. \n            Within the fox den, the litter of six played and\nexplored, their mother watched proudly over her new family, while father Soren\npoked his head out of the den entrance, taking account of the surrounding land,\nhis nose sniffing the fresh spring.  \n            \"Honey....\"; Soren announced with proud excitement, his\nears perked up\n            \" ...I do think its about time, what do you think?\" \nMother Cassia, having a hard\ntime taking her eyes off of her new kitts, replied back in Soren's direction;     \n\"\nWhatever you think is best love, but..uh.. Please do be careful, everything and\neveryone is waking now.\"\n            \"Oh, well be fine\" The male said, with almost a streak of\narrogance in his tone, \n            \"We made it this far, don't worry yourself.\"\nSoren gathered up all six\nhis offspring in a half circle around himself and explained, looking at each of\nthem, \n            \"Alright little ones, were going outside, now you need to\nbe care-...\" ,\n            \"What's that daddy?\" one of the male kitts, Xenon\ninterrupted, curious and impatient as a puppy would be. \n            \"What is the\noutside?\" Rain, the smaller female piped up. This led to the other four kitts\npiping up as well.\nSoren rolled his eyes,\nhushed the pups, and went on; \n            \"This little hole is not the entire world...little ones...outside,\nout there, the world, it is amazing, and its bigger and more beautiful then you\ncould ever imagine...\" \nHe had meant to continue on\nabout the beauty, the danger, life and so on, but found himself at a lack of\nwords that that kitts would understand, they would have to learn just as he\ndid. Instead the middle aged fox moved over to the caves entrance, and gestured\nfor his offspring to follow. With their little ears perked up, all six pups\nfollowed suit, curious and unsure, their mother watching closely. Soren poked\nhis nose out, and then with a big fox big stride, stepped out into the warm spring\nair. The pup's eyes adjusted to the bright light, each poking their heads out,\nsome retreating back in to the safely of the little earthen world, others\nstared in pure awe. \n            One kitt, the dark furred Ramiel, was very eager, more so\nthen the others and was already out in about, romping through the fallen leaves\nand flowers. Following his example, the others followed out, one by one, each\neventually summing up their courage to step out into the spring for the first\ntime. In no time each of the little fox pups were exploring, romping and\nplaying around the den, with their father watching proudly. \n"}
