It was hard seeing her babies grow up, really it felt like just yesterday they were born. Both of them had been.. impossibly tiny. They still amazed her when she thought about how close to losing them she had been. Now they were giants! Almost twice her height both of them were as tall as their father. More and more she saw him in both of them. That kind of scared her. Like any mother she didn't want anything bad to ever overcome her babies, and seeing them spar and learn to fight was hard. She just had to keep telling herself it was better than the alternative, them not knowing how to defend themselves when the time came. So Rhythm would try to relax, and put faith in the fact that she and Valentine had done, and were doing, a marvelous job raising them. Those thoughts would linger on her mind as she lay comfortably up on her perch. The giant boulder was a perfect place to watch the goings on in the Knolls. It was higher than almost every other knoll and the view was to die for. It was an easy reminder about how much Valentine loved her, to so easily give up what he would have once called his den. A soft smile played on her features as bright eyes lingered over the buffalo herd, her tail beating gently against the rock. The sun's rays were losing their strength as the evening hours took over, and soon she could count on her little trouble makers returning home. |
