Brave: The Great Adventure...Book #1

Prologue

Bushes rustled and trees swayed in the wind as a fox emerged out from a small clump of bushes and into the open.
Her eyes looked around as she trotted from tree to tree, the wind blew in her soft red fur as the scent of prey came closer to her. She crouched down and was ready to pounce on a small rabbit rustling through some weeds, the scent came closer to her as she leaped in the air.

Silence surrounded her as she pounced on the creature, it squirmed and wiggled trying to escape until she bit at its neck. The rabbit lay dead in her jaws as she chewed on it, later that day the wind stopped as she stumbled down a little slope and into an opening with nothing but some weeds and the smell of blooming flowers all around her.

She heard the spirits of foxes whispering to her as she wriggled through some weeds and lay down, the wind then continued and the whispering stopped until there were no more sounds except for the wind.
The silence came to an end as she got up and yawned, birds sat all around her and started chirping and singing their beautiful music.

Noises came from every direction, and the wind was swaying through the trees and into the open where she lay with weeds all around her. She mumbled to herself as she padded out of the weeds and into the opening. The spirits started whispering again as she dashed down another slope and into a forest of trees, the whispering then stopped as the birds songs became quieter and quieter with each step she took.

The birds songs then disappeared as she came around a corner of trees and then she padded into a small opening of a cave. She sat down on the wet, cold ground as she mumbled to herself, her mumbles could not be heard by any other creature besides herself.

She backed deeper and deeper into the cave as darkness surrounded her. She sighed as the light faded away and the coldness became colder, she laid her back up against the cold, rough wall and she smiled as she closed her eyes and let the day become night.
