Heavy is the Burden

Erani |
Erani padded along Valhalla?s edge, glancing at the puddles that still pervaded the area. It was lucky that her den was safe from the flood. It was set on a higher hill, on a slight slant once you got out of the cave. Thus, and rain or overflow from the waterfall spring and it?s fall pool and stream would merely flow down and out of the ravine. Erani had chosen her den on a healer?s instinct. Now it served even better. Not only was it excellent for her healers purposes, it was excellent for children. Safe, enclosed, cozy but large. That largeness would be a boon when her children reached mature size. She wondered if they would find their own dens, or stay in hers. A scent caught her attention, and she smiled. She?d seen Soleil at the wedding, and she?d been delighted to see that she was pregnant again, with Collision standing tall and proud beside her. Erani picked up her pace into a light trot, giving a friendly whuff to the little white healer. ?Soleil. Voice warm and friendly, she greeted the female, taking note that she was due. Very due. Why wasn?t she in her den? Tail swaying, she fell into step beside Soleil. ?I didn?t get to give my congratulations to you at the wedding. You look ready to pop here and now.? Erani clearly remembered the feeling of being that close to birthing. The pressure, the constant activity inside. The forceful kicks to the bladder. ?Are you excited?? Silly question, but oh pups did so excite her. Thy were worth every bit of discomfort. |
