Give me what I don't know I want

Quote:Natalya has been busy as of late, it was true. She and Helios had distanced from each other somewhat, going their separate ways to do their duties as Matriarch and Patriarch to the Olympus family. Natalya's time had been spent travelling - to other packs, to new lands - and thinking. She would claim new land for her family and she would lead them back to glory, but she had a lot of decisions to make. It had been the family's love of itself that had made them strong in the past, but now? Now more than half of their relatives were absent, having abandoned them or never joined them in the first place. The other half were primarily children, too young to provide for the pack in any way, shape, or form. What the family needed was change - in what way, she didn't know.



She and Phoebe had spoken recently of plans for the festival, but they had not gone in depth. With Phoebe's pregnancy nearing its end and everything else that had happened, it wasn't the most important of things. She had not seen her sister since then but she had been keeping tabs. And when her daughter set off to meet her aunt, Natalya had followed quietly behind, not yet sure if she would interrupt her child's meeting.



The queen smiled wide as they neared, noting that Phoebe had finally given birth. She stood at a distance, not wanting her daughter to notice her presence. She was curious to see what Phoebe would answer to Alectrona's offer to help, and to see how her child would act if her aunt sent her for something. The girl had always been the brightest of her children (though they all had their own strengths she admired) and she hoped that she would see that intelligence in action.
