This Should be Fun!(Syrinx)

Shadow had had trouble sleeping lately, and when he woke up in his throne, it was definitely noticeable. His thick short fur was sticking up in all directions due to his constant tossing and turning. The main cause of it all was his relentless cough. Every time he got comfortable he had to change his position because of a fit. His chest and throat were sore, but he had been looking forward to today for a while, and he wasn't going to skip it for something as minor as a cough. He was going to go to the ranch and kill a few sheep with his friend. Slowly, he pulled himself out of the throne from his upside down position that he had ended up in and blinked a few times. The room was filled with a purplish gold hue as the sun was slowly setting. The dark pelted male dove into the river that traced the room, slowly waking himself up and fixing his coat at the same time. Shadow pulled himself from the water and admired his reflection in the water for a moment, pulling the water off of himself and back into the stream. The spot on his forehead where the pointed silver stripe began stuck up a bit, but he thought that it looked fine, and the random splotches of blue all seemed to be laying down correctly. He finally headed out the doors and in to the cool night air of Summer. He ran until he found the stream that he knew led to the stream about one fourth of a mile from the pens, and where Syrinx had agreed to meet him. Shadow mimicked the water and simply let it carry him, saving his energy for what was to come.
