The next day, the sun was shining so brightly that it felt wrong. As the two siblings continued to trek through the forest, the light shone in shafts down onto the soft, warm dirt, heating up the earth. At first, they travelled in silence, letting the sounds of nature fill up the emptiness, but after a while they began to talk, and soon enough both of them had weary paws, and their stomachs were growling with a strange fierceness.
"I guess we should do some hunting," Sunshadow commented.
Moonlight nodded. "We'll go off into separate directions," she said. "But one it gets dark we should come back here and keep on looking for a place to stay."
Once they had settled things out, they each padded their separate ways, to fill up their unsatisfied stomachs.
When Moonlight stalked back to the meeting place, belly full, she looked up and noticed something peculiar. The bushes next to her rustled, and she jumped as Sunshadow walked out and sat next to her.
"What are you looking at?" he asked.
"Look," the she-cat said, tilting her head to the rising moon. "The moon isn't full, but it should be, but something is blocking it."
Sunshadow squinted. "You're right," he said. "I-it looks like a giant rock. What could it be?"
Moonlight looked up at the towering, and almost majestic rock formation. "It's a mountain," she breathed, taking in the magnificent view.
