Awakening

The cry of agony snapped him away from his hunt, his attention now centered on his wife and the pain in her howl. Without hesitation or a second thought he tore across the beach to their humble den, worry written all over his features. "I am here Mi Amor!" He said, nuzzling her cheek in an attempt to soothe her. He settled beside her, head resting against the floor as he watched the first of his children break through it's mother's womb.
Pride swelled in his heart and then, horror. Only three legs...An heir with only three legs...No. He decided at that moment it wouldn't matter. Flores boys were strong, hearty, they could survive through any disadvantage. He would raise this boy like all his other children born on this day and no differently, "Talon" the new mother purred, pulling the small bundle to her teat.
The second born was a beautiful girl, carrying the flawless forms of her mother and father. Ghost placed the naming of his second born on his shoulders, and at first all he could do was stare at the tiny life as she cleaned her. "Isicera" The name rolled off his tongue fluidly and coiled around Ghost's ears lovingly. A beautiful name for the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his entire life. The third and final pup was almost completely white, Thoughts of the future flooded through his mind, teaching them to hunt, playing with them on the beach, cold nights where they huddled against one another. He felt like crying from sheer joy, his body felt truly weightless as he watched the blind beings wobble about on their unsteady legs, crying and yelping and howling for warmth. Ghost collapsed against him, the only proof that he was still earthbound; "Mist... Mist will be her name. I love you Segar, I'm so sorry I've been so weak." He grinned and kissed her crown lovingly. "How have you been weak Mi Amor?" He asked. "You have survived an illness that has no cure and given birth to three beautiful cubs. You are not weak. You are the strongest wolf on this planet." He muttered, nuzzling her neck and licking the bridge of her nose. |
