Timber & the Crow

The crow glides low over the ground. Now and then he would stop if the pups couldn't keep up. When he reached the Ashen Domes, the crow suddenly flew high into the sky and soared around.

Timber slowed down and stopped, looking up at the crow, "What are you gonna show us?" he barked impatiently. A bout of steam rose from a fault, and Timber jumped back in surprise.

Finally, the crow glided back down to the ground. "I don't see the creatures I wanted to show you... they are around here mostly in the winters. But, I have something else to show you. Be careful and follow me." the sleek bird said as he hopped along the ground to a nearby fault. He peered over the edge of it, and a few feet down flowed a small stream of golden-hued lava. "Never touch that stuff; it will kill you."

Timber looked down at the lava, mesmerized. "Woah.... that's neat!"

Shimmer

She yips excitedly and walks in beside Timber and also jumps back surprised by the steam suddenly popping up. She padded over to fault and peered over. "Wow that stuff is cool! It feels very hot around here though." She sniffs the lava and peers at it. She was so amazed she couldn't take her eyes off it for a few seconds.

Shimmer

She looks to the crow. "Is there anything else you can show us someplace else or here?" She says.

Timber & Crow

The crow thinks of many interesting things, but he wasn't sure what would be interesting for pups to see. Soon, he comes up with something, "Sometimes the earth here moves and shakes, and sends that stuff high into the air." the crow said, nodding to the lava when he said 'stuff'. He was speaking of earthquakes. "But I don't believe it will happen soon, so I'll show you something else. Follow me!" the crow takes to the air and heads for the Cow Pasture.

Timber was very amazed to hear about how the earth could move like the crow said. He wanted to come back here sometime and feel the earth move. But for now, he bounded off after the crow, "I can't wait to see what he's gonna show us!" Timber barked out to Shimmer.

Shimmer

She follows happily.
