Break Away

"There is no doubt in my mind that you are strong enough, Song," Silent said encouragingly. She believed that, though the fae was young and still naive to some things, she was a smart wolf who could handle whatever was tossed in her direction. "I bet Cherokee feels the same way about you, too. Otherwise, he would be a fool not to." Her emerald green eyes danced with the truth as she spoke of such things. "You may realize that later on, when you are faced with the challenges life will put out there for you, that there is strength within you. It may not seem like it now, but the best of us can be found deep within where others can't reach."
Silent nodded and placed her tail around her left hind paw. As it curled, she perked her ears to the observation Song made. Thinking about each child she had made her heart sore and her tears swell with tears of pride. "Thank you, Song...and yes, I do love them. Each one has their own personality, life, and stories to tell." She breathed in deep and regained the shakiness that had appeared in her voice. "I can't help but be proud of my babies, although they're not babies anymore. As long as they are happy and are free to make their own choices, then I can't ask for anything more for them." Her gaze rested on Song's as she continued. "What are your plans for the future with Cherokee, young one? I am curious to know what you want in life."
