Cave

They had walked for days and days, losing track of the weeks. In their panicked flight they had strayed far from the main road. To make matters worse, the son had been wounded by a wild, doglike animal. After fending off the unnaturally aggressive beast with a torch and treating the bite, the father was forced to carry the son in his arms. 

As another night fell over the woods, a faint source of light started growing in the distance. Both of them were attracted to it. They approached with caution, even fear, but upon entering the cave pure wonder filled them. As father and son took in the scene for a moment, their worries and pain were forgotten. A beautiful white cat raised its head and looked at them inquiringly.
