First Step Forward

Everything was still and bright white. My long limbs felt heavy, anchored down... until a tiny spark twitched in my claws. *Click.* I pushed downward, testing the solid ground beneath me. My weight shifted, smooth and slow, stretching tall on all four feet. I leaned forward with a dramatic tilt of my head, letting out a soft, low hum into the quiet emptiness, feeling the vibrations hum right back through my chest. I can move. The void is mine to tread.
