A Promise Fulfilled

Aslatiel was pregnant. She'd worked hard to make it so. Indigo would raise the child as his own and the fawn and grey woman would have fulfilled her promise to give him a piece of what he had lost. Losing his children by that purple whore had brought Indigo low. Lower than she'd ever seen him. The promise of giving Indigo a child to raise had brought a spark of life back to the man's bright blue eyes, so it had become Aslatiel's goal to give him just that. Purple dire wolves were in short supply, but she'd managed.

There was a period of waiting, just to make sure that everything was going well. It was winter and Asla's coat was quite thick and fluffy, so it hid her rounding stomach well, though it had barely changed at all. Perhaps it would be a small litter, which she preferred. Soon they would be rogues again and a small group of pups would be easier to handle than a large group.

Finishing her patrol, Asla made her way back to the cave that she shared with Indigo. Night had long fallen as was the way in winter. A small fire burned in the hearth and the woman moved towards it, soaking up a bit of the warmth before shrugging out of her armor. After that, she went and joined her giant purple sibling on the pile of furs that they shared. Nosing into his cheek, Asla then placed her chin down upon one thick, dark foreleg. "I have some news," she informed him, tired from her patrol, but excited to give him this surprise.
