The future we made

Kane nodded with a bright smile that flashed every tooth and saber in his mouth when Tamsyn confirmed that the sea did call to her heart. His tail wagged excitedly behind him; their children had their names decided! "I'll get started on building us a birthing den right away then," he said with a nuzzle to his mate's cheek that delicately nudged the pure white feathers hanging from her fur. "I know a few good locations we can scout out. Right on the edge of the shore, between the plains and the beach. The earth will be stable, but you'll still see the sea from the door and get all the wonderful amenities, like tracking sandy paws in the house when the pups start roaming." He laughed softly at the mental image of their little ones scampering over the shimmering dunes, getting to see the sea as the first thing their little eyes got to behold in this vast, marvelous world.

When Tamsyn kissed him back and told him that he'd made her the luckiest and happiest lady in the world, the hunter felt his heart leap in his chest. His tail beat the ground in time with hers, both parents just happy to be sharing their love while they cuddled protectively around their little miracles, as she had called them. The nickname felt fitting. Tamsyn had been a miracle in his life, their children another miracle further. He'd given up hope on ever feeling the warm embrace of love again, and resigned himself to the fact that he'd never know the joys and pride of fatherhood. Tamsyn had given him back the life he'd been robbed of and so much more. "And I love you the same, my little blackbird. More than there are stars in the sky." As if to prove his point, Kane gently cupped Tamsyn's chin with a large paw and guided her lips to his in a deeply passionate kiss. He held her against him like that for a while, pouring forth all of his love for the gorgeous black fae against her lips.

Their kiss only ended when they both needed to draw back to breathe, and the first thing Kane did with the fresh air in his lungs was tip his head back and howl his love for Tamsyn to the night sky once more. Til the day he died, he would sing praises of her for all the world to hear. The world would know the glory and love of Tamsyn Carpathius of the Valley.
