Argent is many things; warrior, lover, leader, protector, huntress, tired, exhausted, guilty, traitor, but above all she is mother. Life is exhausting, and she knows not how long she can maintain it. She has four wriggling, dependent forms to look after. She has had no breaks; not even the day of their birth. To avoid hunting or patrolling, even for a day, is almost a death wish for her four youngest children. They need her. There is no way around it. She is protector and provider, and although she yearns to return to Glaciem soil, for now she has no way of doing so. This island will be their home for now, and she will enjoy these bittersweet, tiresome moments as mother as best she can. Today, she decides she will start training them. There are many topics to cover, but perhaps for now she will start out simple. She yips for her children to come to her, having permitted them a bit more freedom around the den. She smiles gently at the thought of them, hoping they will meet with success. Even blind Minos, she hopes, will find a way to hunt. After all, as she has recently proven herself, there is nothing more important in life than being able to survive by oneself. |
