We'll Be Heroes!

It was the middle of the day and No Face was currently watching over the pups. Evangelos had been feeling a little tired that day, wanting to stay in the den, and Philly hoped that would keep Nausicaa in the den as well. Even if not the bat hawk was a force to be reckoned with. He’d be able to keep her little ones safe… she was sure of it.

So Philomena was willing to travel a bit farther from the den than usual… she still stayed in the vicinity of the lake, however. Her mind was churning, especially after her visit with her father in Somnium. More than ever she felt certain that she wanted to build a pack. Raise something from the ground as her father had.

They would need to work hard… to protect what they had and what they loved. To stand for what they believed in. Whether it was foolish or not… Philomena wanted this with all her heart. To build a pack was to find strength in unity. To find strength in each other… and when they finally achieved that point together… how would that feel?

The female breathed in slowly as she moved over the dying grass on the far side of the lake. The day wasn’t incredibly cold but not exactly warm either with the sky being overcast. Philly didn’t mind these types of days especially if it meant that soon it would rain. She liked the rain. The smell… the sound…

“Focus, Philomena… you’ve got big plans to work on.” The female mumbled to herself. Not only in getting things rolling with allies and a pack… but also with her children. She had to make sure they began training early, though not too early. Maybe she could encourage them to start hunting bugs and stuff to start… and then gradually move to small prey animals. They all had to be ready… and none of them, not even Philly herself, could afford to be left vulnerable.

An ear twitched and Philomena paused, glancing around with slightly narrowed blue eyes. She’d become a bit paranoid raising the pups virtually on her own. Anything or anyone that could be a threat would need to be taken care of.
