In the blue sky was an Eclipse, frozen in time. In this world, there was no such thing as sun or moon being in the sky, one at a time. Always both. The sky was always blue, but with stars shining, just as bright as if they were in a night sky.
There was no sense of time - it didn't really exist. Neither did night or day, it was always both. Time lasting forever.
In this world, reflections had a voice of their own.

A crowd of small creatures rushed towards a large tree-school, fur bristling and tails swishing. A few was trying to over take the ones at the front, panting slightly as they caught up with the elder Reflects. But one of the small creatures realised something was wrong, and came to a sudden stop. A young Reflect from behind crashed into him, making him whip round quickly and grab him by the scruff.
"You find that funny?!" He growled, catching him sniggering.
"Nah, Nile. See, I wuz laughin' at the little young 'uns behind me. They're so slow. I wasn't laughin' at you." He shook his head so that his ears flopped around, getting in front of his eyes. The older Reflect knew he was lying, but dropped him anyway.
"Where's Rhenus?" He asked to the Reflects that had raced ahead. They emmidiately stopped, and turned to face him.
"She's probably ahead, aint she?" One of them said. "She's probably in the tree-house already, she's that fast!"
The older Reflect shook his head, thinking it over. "I didn't see her. In fact, I haven't saw her all morning." He was actually starting to get worried, but there was no hint of it in his eyes or voice.
"I'm gonna go look for her."
One of the creatures, the same age as Nile, came up to him. "What about tree-school? You're gonna get in loads of trouble, y'know." She held out her paw expectantly. Nile screwed up his face and dropped his dinner money into her outstreched paw.
"Thanks," She said with a grin. "I'll think up a good excuse for yer. The teachers'll believe me."
"They better. I'll be back by dinner or hometime - make sure your excuse is a good 'un."
With that he raced off towards the forest, leaving the other young Reflects climbing a ladder, flung from the top of the large tree, leading to the tree-school.

Rhenus picked up a branch off the forest floor, and stuck it in the mud. It had been raining one moon ago, so it was quite muddy and easy to slip it in. 'Now I wont get lost.' She thought to herself. She would just follow the sticks back, after she had found the river.
She carried on walking through the forest, occasionaly sticking twigs and sticks in the mud, and nettles catching on her fur. She was quite worried what the tree-Reflects would say when she got back, since she wasn't at tree-school, but that would have to wait for later.
It was a while after when she finally bumped into Nile. Although, she wasn't that surprised, since she knew he would of searched for her anyway. They had been friends for years, and knew each other almost like they were each others shadows.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
"I just want to see it. I'm not staying long."
Nile shook his head, but couldn't help smiling. "Silly Reflect! The river isn't around here."
"I don't want to go to the Parrariver, well...I would like to, but I'm just looking for any river. I just want to see my Reflection."
"It's rare for anyone to see their Reflection in a normal river - you know that! And the Parrariver, well, it's far, I can tell you that!" He took her by the paw and dragged her bacjk the way they came.
"I gave Thames my dinner money so she would make up an excuse for us. You better give me some of yours." He eyed her bag. Rhenus took it off her back and whipped out 2 leaf sandwiches.
"What filling?"
"They're both berry."
My story. :D I'll add more to it later.
