The Ties That Bind

*Resin* · 02-01-2021, 02:30 AM

As was his way, Artorias mulled over the information that Resin had given. A lot of her words had been her own views of the world, but as he grew, he would develop his own. They may not be the same as her views by the end, but they would have started with her own lessons as the building blocks. She wanted the boy to be a good wolf. Just and fair. Hard when he needed to be. Bending when it was necessary.

Of them all, Artorias had her faith the most. She loved her children, but there was a real connection between herself and this little blue boy. A connection that she would continue to work on. Little did he know it, but Resin was grooming the boy for leadership. He would take control of The Hallows some day and he would do her proud. Of this, she had no doubt. Others wouldn't agree with the decision or embrace the change, but that was how it had to be.

Small paws took her ashen cheeks and Artorias placed a lick upon her dusty blue nose, drawing a soft smile from the woman. His words touched her heart and she pulled him close, embracing him with legs and neck alike. "I love you, boy." Her words were thick as the past rose up in her mind like a viper. This is what she had missed. She could have had this with her first sons. Would one of them have been as intelligent? As just?

Pushing away the past and the pain, Resin placed a lick atop the crown of her son. As she looked down upon him, her eye was a little moist, but maybe it was just a trick of the light. This tiny, fragile child would one day take up the mantle that she passed down. She was getting old very quickly. Hopefully he was ready. If not... she would have to trust Ulric to keep his word. She hadn't even told the man about her plan as of yet, but he would make a promise to her and he would keep it or by the gods... she would haunt him.
