All it takes is one

Zuriel took a step back from the den she had been working on with a sigh. She had dirt half way up her forelegs and she was already pretty tired from digging. The ground was still pretty hard from the cold despite all the rains they had been having recently. Once she got past the initial layer of mud she got to the frozen ground underneath. She finally had it big enough though she thought and she smiled softly as she considered it. She probably would have waited till spring to make a permanent den, but she didn't want to wait too long since... She glanced back at her slowly growing stomach as her ears flicked. It felt like it was all going so fast. She already felt so huge even though it seemed like it all happened just yesterday. Soon she'd have... children. Zuriel still couldn't quite get used to the word. She sighed softly and turned to walk over to the river that ran through the valley so that she could wash off her legs. The water was cold, but she'd rather have cold legs for a few minutes than go to sleep with mud caked on her legs. When she stepped back from the water's edge she shivered lightly and then looked around at the open plane around her. This was certainly a change from what she had been used to in Celestial, but she was grateful to have a clean slate here. |
