Kalayo watched the beams of sunlight shine through the shutters into her room as she slowly woke up. She blinked several times and finally pulled off her covers, yawning. She pulled the shades fully open, smiling as sunlight filtered into her room. Today was her fifteenth birthday, and tomorrow she would get to touch the great Fox Heartstone with several other animals to determine if she was one of the chosen animals to harness the power of fire and sun.
