Dreams Made Flesh [M]

Preston had no more time to imagine, no more time to pretend, he was a full fledged healer now, and thearrival of new cubs meant a handful of things to the young wolf. Along the way he stopped to gather evening primrose and flax,to transition the birth, as well as motherwort, and Aurum, although he prayed he wouldn't have to use aurum. He stopped again to catch a snake for the birthing mother, she'd need her strength.

By the time he arrived however another healer had come and taken his place. He felt...Offended Erani was letting some snow eating Glaciem wolf take the place of her own son! What's more her star pupil! But....But he was not his brother. He would not let hate consume him. No. This was fine. She probably just wanted someone more experienced. Instead he arrived in the den with a wide grin and placed the snake beside his mother as an offering, then stepped aside to let the healer, who was not him, do her mediocre work. One by one the pups were born, "?I will let Chrysanthe name her.? Erani said. He grinned and playfully whispered "Name her Preston Jr." In his sister's ear, his tail flicking against her back playfully.

Speech!
