Attack and Conquer

The day had finally come where their sons were big enough to start exploring the world around them. Aliana gently ushered the six boys towards the sliding door of the bedchamber they'd been living in for the past few weeks, steadily growing and getting more bold as the days went by. Watching her little boys ambulatory and running about made Aliana's heart swell with pride and love, watching as they rushed for the door Chimera was waiting beside to set them loose on an unsuspecting world. "Be careful, little loves! Don't put anything in your mouths!" she called after them as the half dozen pups went tumbling out through the open door and into the world for the first time.

The petite queen followed her king out into the atrium, watching their children closely while they wandered around the giant tree, then began to meander their way to the bright and sunny outdoor world. Aliana was grateful for the nice weather, a good departure from the rain they'd been having so much of lately. They'd get to see sunlight for the first time, feel sand beneath their toes, hear and smell the ocean surrounding their island home. Padding gently over to take up a position beside Chimera on the deck, the ash and snow queen laid down and leaned into the side of her mate, beaming with pride and love in her eyes. "Not a chance," she replied with a giggle, leaning over to place a tender lick to his cheek. "Hopefully they won't cause too much trouble." But if they did, she knew they would always be able to turn to their parents for any help they ever needed. They were her treasures, little pieces of her heart and soul set forth into the world, and she would give her life for any of them any time.
