i'll stumble and fall

As the duo neared the Southern-lands she would find herself pressing more and more into Rhythm's side, as through drawing courage from her sisters presence. She wasn't certain why it was more difficult it was after all her third time into the land, but she had left her precious little gift of life here, and even as she was eager to leap ahead and see her Shaye again she was also terribly hesitant to see what she might find there. If anything bad had happened to Shaye, she would kill the father, but she didn't really expect any such thing, she was sure, so sure, she would just know if anything bad befall her life child. No, rather she was afraid that Shaye would be so happy she wouldn't want to come home, maybe that female she had smelled on Shai would be a part of Shaye's life now, maybe they had made a happy little family without her. The thought was bitter and she leaned further against her sister, making their progress through the land harder as they walked tightly side by side.

She started to cross the land bridge when she stopped, one paw raised. To her surprise, she could see on the glittering beach on the other side two forms in the sand, one tiny and one a great big brute of a wolf. Unbelievable, here they both where, before her. Hesitantly, she would let her foot fall, and then Shaye, having spotted the still form on the bridge would leap forward towards her, and Motif would be freed from the doubts that held her still and would leap forward and would embrace her daughter half way, pulling her close to her and holding her close before she would look up to see where Shai was.
