The First Outing.

All four of them waited patiently by the opening in the cave. There is a path that leads down the mountain from the cave. But beyond the path is the open sky. It is as if they are living beside a cliff. 

Mother went outside through the opening of the cave. Then she grabbed them with her solidified divine sense and pulled them out. They came out of the cave for the first time. They can't fly yet, but being so high up in the sky is still exhilarating. 

Mother said, "Down we go, little ones." 

Then she flapped her four wings and plunged down. They didn't go straight down. Instead, they glided across the landscape and created some distance between them and the mountain as they descended. 

The four of them roared in excitement all the way down. Their soft, undeveloped vocal cords made their howls sound like coughing. It was so cute that Mother couldn't help but grin. Their happiness was infectious.
