Second Time's the Charm

Normalcy and routine, two things Siren wasn’t sure she would ever crave so much. After growing up half wild and growing into the elegant queen she was, Siren built her life around structure. All that had fallen apart during the endless dark, and the precious lives she had almost lost during it. Most relieving of all was that her children were recovering. Putting them into the prison cells alone had been one of the hardest things she had ever had to do after watching her children suffer.

There was incredible relief when she welcomed them home. With the sun came the illness finally dissipated and her three pups had endured. She included Cerberus. Siren hated thinking about watching Viper die, and the fear that had gripped her since that day that she would lose her sick babies. She had seen what losing her unborn had done to Aliana, what would losing her pups now that she knew them and loved them do to her? Siren was grateful she wouldn’t have to face that inevitability now.

Siren finished feeding said children and sent them off to have lessons with their father and she made her way towards the greenhouse. Before she could make it the sound of Aliana’s voice summoned her. That wasn’t something that happened very often so even if there was no emergency Siren rushed to her side.

The scent of vomit almost overwhelmed the more subtle scent Aliana was putting off. Concern filled her features as delicate paws carried her up to the clouded Queen. "Are you alright, Aliana?” She asked softly, nuzzling her shoulder gently. Her nose brushing clouded fur and breathing her in, eyes widening as she realized the subtle change of scent.
