A Gentle Swish

Everything was still and bright white. Then, a soft warmth stirred behind me. I paused, carefully considering the feeling before trying anything rash. With a tiny effort of will, my twin tails gave a gentle flick. They lifted off the smooth surface and settled back down with a quiet rustle. I really can move. Next, I took a cautious step forward, tapping one soft shoe against the plain ground. The faint pat sound confirmed it: I am fully here, balanced and awake.
