I charged at the door, my tongue failing out in the breeze.
Smack!
I had ran into the glass door. I whimpered, pain shooting through my nose and muzzle. I backed away, slumping onto my behind and pawing my muzzle, sniffling. I looked at the door, examining it. A large handle was just out of my reach.
That probably opens the door...gosh darn it!
After a few minutes of recovering from the hit, I sat back up, glaring at the shiny metal handle. I once again crouched down, wanting to jump at the handle, pull it down, and open the door.
That'll do it, won't it?
I swished my tail a bit and lunged at the handle. I jumped up and hugged my legs onto it. The door swung open loudly. I jumped off and charged down the pathway. It was dark outside, the sky black and laced with gray clouds. There didn't seem to be anyone around, and all the strange creatures in the other bowls in the place were asleep. I happily ran throughout the labyrinth of cobblestone pathway, before stopping and collapsing to my belly, gasping for air. I was exhausted, desperately trying to find the exit.
Where does this place end...?
Was I going in circles?
Where am I, anyways...?
As I continued to catch my breath, the moonlight shines against my back. It felt cool, the breeze blowing in my short fur, and the light calmly shining around me.
I soon got up and started to trot around, not wanting to be tired as I was before. I tried to keep track of what I saw, so I would make sure I wasn't backtracking or anything. I kept my progress and soon met with a large gateway. I looked at it in awe.
The gateway had a huge sign on a big arch, decorated with bushes, flowers, and other greenery. Two fountains of water were place around the edges. Under the arch was a gate made from rusted metal bars. I smiled slightly, but felt slightly worried.
How do I climb THAT?
I started to approach the gate, planning the way to get over it.
I tried to slide my paw in between a bar. No luck, my paws were too thick. I looked up. The gate was pretty tall.
I think I need to climb it...
