The light was slowly growing in the small cave of depression she?d been trapped in. Taurig was alive, and back. Her family was about her, and had grown thrice more in the forms of Regulus, Zuriel, and Faite; her grandchildren. However, there were still pieces of the puzzle that needed to fall into place. Where were her other children? Epiphron, Chrysanthe, and Newol? Preston? And her grandchildren via Epiphron and Chrysanthe? Odette, and all of Epiphrons children, including Quintus. In a way, she knew better than to try and impose on Syrinx? children as their grandmother. However much Syrinx may have accepted her care as a second mother when he was a pup, he had never called her ?mother?. Eos had been gone so often, and been so bitter the last time Erani had seen her, that she knew she wasn?t considered a mother to Eos in the females mind. Thus, she had little right to call herself grandmother to their children. It didn?t mean she never wondered where they all were now. Syrinx was gone again. For good. That was as much as Surreal would say one night after meeting Arian. Eos? Perhaps she had always been gone for good. So her mind turned to the others. Azalea, Sarak, and whatever children they had, and Obsidian. A low huff left her. ?I need to get back out there and figure out what is going on with those ones?? It was a mutter heard only by her own ears. However, quite abruptly, one question was answered for her. A howl filtered through the willows, the boughs long since stripped of leaves by the fall season, swinging bare from their branches over the river. Newol was back. She took off at a swift lope, careful of the frost rimed waters edge as she bounded toward him. She slowed as a second scent mixed with his. A female. A moment later, she broke through the willow fronds into the open, picked up speed, and barreled for the brown male. She braked just before a collision might have occurred and looked him over in the manner of both healer and mother. ?Newol. I?m glad to see you.? Her tail waved behind her, as her eyes met the male?s emerald gaze. Then her eyes turned to the female next to him. ?And who is this?? There was no chill, only a warm curiosity. |
