Daydreams of the Morning

She was pretty upset with her son, Dragon had disobeyed and run off farther then she thought he could. It was thanks to two of her packmates that he had returned safe and unharmed, but the moment he got back he had been given punishment. He was to remain within the orchard for the remainder of the season. Perhaps less if he actually listened and behaved. She was very displeased with him, and she was sure that others were looking at like she was a bad parent. It made her angry, that she was doing this as a single mother...their father nowhere to be found. Sighing, she calmed herself as she approached the den. She had left a little early to do a morning patrol, and with sprin coming into bloom she wanted to do something with her children now that there was less snow. Winter had been the season she had been away most of the time, trying to vent her frustration out with fighting since Newol had left. Now though, she realized she had been a little neglectful...some way to start motherhood...
Nearing the den, she scented Lykos sitting outside. With a wagging tail, she made her way over to the boy and licked his head as she passed. Her heart was pounding with happiness that her other children had made it past that season...and it hurt that her smallest child, Gnar...hadn't. At least, she wouldn't have to grow up and face the ugliness of the world. But she wondered what kind of woman she would have grown up to be. "Good morning Lykos, how are you today?" She sat with her child, gazing warmly at him as the sun shone down. She was glad winter was over, she was sure they were just as tired of the snow as much as she was. |
