It's not every single day that Basil stops to admire his surroundings. Usually, the monochrome colored tom is too busy worrying to stop and admire his surroundings. He hated being an apprentice. Everything about it sucked. His bones ached, he was tired all the time, and he had a sniffle that wouldn't quite go away. To put it shortly, he was miserable.
Today though, there was a change in the air, it was a little less hot, the air held a cooler breeze to it and the leaves swayed softly in the wind. He is headed back to camp when he notices it and he stops, tilting his head back, enjoying the cool air.
That's when he sees it.
The sun.
It hangs low in the sky, a ball of red and orange surrounded by pink and purple and it captivated basils attention instantly and completely. He cannot tear his eyes away from it. He stares so long his eyes start to hurt. It's a confusing feeling, why does looking at something so pretty start to hurt. Finally, when he cannot bear it any longer he looks away, starting to tear up as he puts his paws over his face, covering his burning eyes. "Ow ow ow it hurts it hurts why?!" He cries out loudly burying his face into his paws.
