Khan and Flurry

So there's this giant, ivy-covered retaining wall in my backyard, with stairs built into it that go up to the lawn itself. There are tiers along the wall where we plant flowers, and crevices between the rocks filled with tiny adorable clovers and plants.

Basically, it was heavenly for playing with little animal figures. My brother and I - and when he grew up, my sister and I - would pick toys and head out there throughout the years to make these innately epic little stories with the animals we'd picked.

In one of them, I believe there was a mother fox who was imprisoned by a group of pretty nasty animals (dragons, I think). The dragons were the dictators of the surrounding land, and their messanger was an old leopard named Khan. The mother fox and Khan were good friends (secretly, of course)and she gave birth to a pure white kit. Fearing the persecution of the dragons, the mother fox gave her baby to Khan to raise. He named her Flurry, and... well, yeah. Here they are.
