bittersweet symphony

Rhythm sighed softly as her family gathered around to await the leader of Abaven. Too long had passed since the old woman had walked over these borders, but she didn’t know weather to blame herself, Rhyme, or Valentine. The moments were bittersweet, she was saying goodbye to the kids who grew up around her, she was saying goodbye to her mate, but she knew that she needed to be in Abaven.

They didn’t have to wait for very long, Rhythm caught the familiar scent before she heard Theory’s paw pads. Rhythm hadn’t been in her presence since not long after birth, it would be good to truly meet her granddaughter. ”Hello, Theory.” She answered as the girl went on noting they were from Legion. ”Yes, I’m Rhythm. Your grandmother.” She sighed softly, still feeling the sting of their loss. ”I wanted to ask to return to Abaven, to be with you and the children after everything that’s happened.” She was hopeful about her future here, but that didn’t lessen the hurt of losing Shaye and having to say goodbye to Valentine and the yearlings.
