This week at Beautiful Creatures we continue with the storyline of Flitzen and Schatz which was first introduced in April. When we left Flitzen, she had just escaped Molly and come face to face with Schatz. If you have followed the Alphabeast series you will be familiar with the beginning of this week’s story which is the continuation to Beautiful Creatures’ Mad as a March Hare.
Their first meeting was one for
the storybooks as Flitzen’s canine pursuer poked its head into the underground
refuge ruffling her tail with its hot breath. As they found each other face to
face their twitching noses mirrored the other in the safety of Schatz’s underground hidden world.
They were deep enough in the ground that they were safe from the dog but Schatz
hopped forward and Flitzen followed closely behind. They had hopped through a
short tunnel to Schatz’s cool den beneath the earth and from the heat above ground.
Sitting across from the other they closely examined the contrast between their
coat, eyes and size…
When she looked upon Schatz he reminded her of the morning
frost with his sparkling white fur that twinkled like the stars of the deep
night sky. Although there were several outward differences, Flitzen could feel
the parallel rhythm of Schatz’s heart. He was cautious yet warm, respectful and
welcoming, deeply loving and calm. Flitzen knew from the moment of their first
encounter that he was a rare breed. She was a spirited rabbit but took comfort
in the tender voice of a wonderful storyteller and Schatz was the perfect match
for her! He was full of energy yet balanced with his calm and laid-back
demeanour... He had a delicate charm and subtle shyness that was quite
endearing and she knew then and there that she had fallen upon a genuinely
authentic soul. This first meeting was an unexpected gift, and Flitzen was
immediately drawn to him. Schatz had a deep inner beauty that was so powerful
it glowed, lighting up the room and warming her from within.
He was
intoxicating, much like Tom’s belly on a storytelling night…
