She sleeps like a child with no worries, curled in a cozy little ball. She dreams about wild things, things that are and things that couldn't be. (Or could. This is Beqanna, and one never knows, but hey, she doesn't know that.) She dreams that she runs and her legs grow longer, carry her faster. She dreams she grows a pair of wings, and each time she flaps them sparklets of light flicker and flow down to disappear into the ground. So pretty and intriguing. She does it more so that she can watch them, stops running so she can dance with them. And she laughs. But then, the dream changes. The world changes. A mountain rises from nowhere and all the land's change shape. Her wings she'd just grown vanish, her legs resume their normal shape. No more sparkly lights. Oh well, her dream self thinks. Those things didn't belong to her anyway. And she likes her little legs. She carries on the way she always has, but then she trips and falls into a hole. Falls and falls until she lands with a thud. It doesn't hurt, but when she goes to rise, she finds she cannot. Something holds her down, and then the lights go out and it's dark. She can't breathe, buried.
The small girl jolts awake to realize she IS buried, but in snow. Her panic dies away when she shifts her body and raises her head and the snow allows her movement. She pokes her tiny nose upward until she feels the air blowing a cool breeze to greet her flaring nostrils. She waits just a moment before leaping up in a burst of motion, causing the cold white stuff to kind of explode around her. The girl giggles and shakes her small body, breaking loose the clumps that stick to her fur and mane and tail. She is fortunate for her thick coat that keeps her warm, but dang it there's so much of it that she knows she looks like a tiny fluff ball. Of Doom!! Mwahahaha! She laughs again and goes to move off, but because she is so small and there is so much snow, she has to sort of hop and kick. It's kinda fun though! She makes a game of it, suddenly pretending she is a snow alligator with her eyes and nose above the surface, and her lil bum 'floating' behind her. The snow alligator stalks her prey...
