Unveil your abomination

Their birth had been so frightening… It had taxed the female greatly. But once they were born, Gods once they were born Marina couldn’t help but feel the surge of pride seeing all the rainbow marked patterns on her girls. Though Argus was a bit of a special case, one that Marina couldn’t quite understand and yet, at the same time, she was more than happy to love on her smallest daughter. It had been a miracle in her eyes that Argus even lived… and Nova was endlessly close to her littlest one. The largest and the smallest… guardian for the weak. It helped her feel better about the little ones, though thus far neither Ochitsu or Argus had spoken a single word.

So when Marina heard her daughter for the first time she wasn’t sure which of her children made the sound. Her eyes sapped open, gaze shooting around until they landed on the flopping Argus. Ochitsu was quick to go to her side and help her stand, as was Nova, who was less about having Argus stand and more so checking to make sure she was alright. Marina felt her heart ease a little bit. Her children… Gods she loved them. The way they came into the world might have been a nightmare, but Marina wouldn’t have changed that for the world. They were hers… They were Celestians.

Seeing Bones and Chasm come back in Marina brightened a little. Her tail gave a wag, her depression no longer as bad as it had once been before the birth of her newest litter. She had hoped that the perk in her mood would allow Chasm some peace of mind… but she knew she couldn’t withhold the truth from the boy forever. Her gaze the slid to Bones, giving a grateful nod to the devil. “Thank you.” But for right now she wanted to make sure her babies were all settled. She could worry about eating a little later.

Carefully rising, so she would disturb Aza, she moved behind Adore and Chasm, smiling gently. “It’s alright, sweeties… Argus just found her legs is all.” The female nosed her second born daughter, giving Adore a lick on the back of her head. “Your big brothers brought home rabbits. Do you want to try some? It’s big wolf food.” Marina’s tone was gentle as she eased down to the earth, glancing at Chasm. She hoped to meet his eye. “...and Chasm? I’d like to talk to you tonight. Do you think Bones can watch the den after the others are settled in?”
