These Are My Confessions

Winter no longer clung to the earth’s atmosphere. What was once cold air sweeping through became replaced with warmth. Spring now taking its place center stage for life to return from a long hibernation. Grass broke free from drying soils. Branches began to show lead sprouts from their ends. White hares now started to brown over. Billowing breathe of condensation no longer could be seen with every exhale.

Khranbari found himself coming to the hot springs. Wounds from the large male puma he and Varushka fought still taking quite some time to fully heal. Three gashes were just now fully covered by a dried blood. Occasionally leaking due to the stubbornness of his need to still patrol Valta’s borders. Had the earthen woman not chewed his ear, he surely would have continued such actions. Choosing best not to anger her any further. It wasn’t like he was the only one hurt. She, too, endured a few injuries herself. The biggest one being on her hind leg.

Just like him, the Raitas felt as if it were time they soaked. Staying steal did nothing but make it worse. And due to their encounter, Khranbari found himself ready to express himself. More so than anything he’s ever felt in his entire life.
