The hero's won. what comes after?

The small girl sniffles as she snuggles into her brother, the fear of the fight with the crow still gnawing at her brain. Corbin praises her and Haydée offers a small, uncertain smile, sniffing again before nodding in agreement. Blood oozes from her brother’s ear and worry quickly tugs the smile down into a frown. Standing, she keeps a tight hold on their prize while sticking her small form to her brother’s side. Moving with him, the girl draws strength from his confidence.

Her jaw aches from the sheer amount of force she is using to clench her teeth together but Haydée never once thinks of releasing the treasure. Corbin had gotten hurt retrieving this, nothing short of death will make her give it up. Tears still spill down her cheeks but they have slowed the further away they get from the nest. The pair march to their family den and Haydée shrinks a little further into her brother’s side as mom comes into view. Is she going to yell at them? Haydée decides, right then and there, to take all the blame.
