Numbered Days

Her days were.. perhaps not entirely coming to an end, but she certainly wasn't getting any younger. The seasons seemed to go by more slowly now, somehow, though at the same time she marveled at how quickly these last few years had gone by. Winter was less pleasant than the other seasons, but she was grateful that Leo had chosen to remain in the eastern lands. It was comfortable here, most of the time, especially in comparison to how things could be. She'd been to far more inhospitable lands, that was for sure. She shivered as she felt a brief hint of wind whistle through the entrance to her den, a small and comfortable burrow that had previously been dug out under the roots of a tree, in a drier part of the land.

The sound brought with it something more familiar - Amalia's voice. Rousing from her half-asleep state, she lifted her head, a smile touching her lips."Amalia," Epiphron replied gently, noticing the slight discomfort in her daughter's voice. What did she need, she wondered? Hopefully all was well. Stretching her forelimbs in front of her, she eventually pulled herself upright onto stiff limbs and made her way toward the world outside. Seeing her daughter made her face brighten considerably. God, was she proud of her - and of Leo too. She hadn't seen her other children for far too long, but she could only hope they had found somewhere that made them happy, as the others had. "How are you doing today, daughter?"
