The hero's won. what comes after?

With the all-important hug given and mom’s comforting words and no signs of panic over the ear, it's easier for Corbin to calm his own fears.  As his fears faded the boy was able to take in more details of everything around him again.  That included noticing Haydee holding their prize.  Corbin found a smug smile on his face finally creeping in.  They had done it!  Haydee had got their prize, they took down the evil crow and made it back home.  “Hey mom, do you think the statues will like what we found?  It’s all shiny so we thought that might be good.” Corbin waved a paw at Haydee, “Show it off, you did great holding it all the way!  Even on that branch!”

Mom mentioned working together in a fight and well, it had been more Corbin fighting this time but he could have never fought and grabbed the shiny item so they’d had no choice but to do it this way.  Next time the two could fight together!  Heck, maybe the whole family could fight together! Well, mom and dad might make it a bit too easy so they could watch and cheer as the kids do all the work.

Then dad appeared and Corbin left mom’s side much more the confident proud boy than when he’d run up to mom.  Thorn tilted his head down to show off his battle-injured ear, “A  crow got my ear but I got his wing.  Haydee got his sparkly thing so we won.”
