Puppy Map

Ash looked down still with that happy smile as Thorn made little waves in the ocean beyond The Hallows. As Thorn continued working on the rest of his view of the castle, Ash started drawing in the third land of The Hallows. She made a few tree trunks with bushy tops which wasn't a perfect depiction of the trees of the grove but she was sure to shade in the golden leaves that made the land unique compared to the trees that may have been surrounding The Hallows.

Ash looked back up as Thorn had pointed out the garden and his and his family's room, patting down on the paper lightly as she told him, "It's perfect. You know your way around the castle." It was a little far fetched compliment but he deserved it. The castle was his entire world, and even if just a few squares and circles it was his idea of the castle. It was a good first map she believed and a learning experience she could share with him. It really made her feel special.

Her heart sunk though as Thorn had asked if she could take him out to the plains. It would be easy to tell him that he could go with his parents, or another one of his aunt or uncles. But it was near impossible too. She hadn't left the walls of the castle since she had been back, being out in the open is what scared her the most even while protected inside the borders. "We can go there someday soon." She tried to reassure him, he didn't need to carry the weight she had. He was so tiny and innocent, so at least she could try to better herself so that she could share more than just this moment with him. She looked down at the map again, her paws running over the paper to flatten out their creation. "You can give this to your father, I bet it would look great on the alter with the pup statues." A good showcase, and what she could believe was a memorial of some sort. She thought a drawing made by her nephew would be a nice offering to pup who may have lost their life a long time ago.
