Ma, I don't understand...

Athena peered down at her reflection in one of the many pools of water that lingered around the Mangroves. She still wasn't used to the pools of liquid water that were everywhere around here or the fact that she would walk anywhere she wished without the crunch of snow. She still caught herself from time to time picking her paws up high like she had to step through a snow drift, making her steps look ridiculous in this snow-free land. She looked down at herself and still thought she looked like a foreigner here. Epiphron and her family were all coated in warm ivory and russet. They fit here in the warm temperatures. She and her children were all colors of silver and slate-blue, colors she had always associated with the north. She looked down at her bracelets and back at the marking on her hip and tears swelled in her eyes. Trinkets of long lost family and traditions. A heavy sigh passed her lips and she forced herself to move away from the water's edge and went to find someone, anyone really, to distract her from her thoughts. Her most quiet son appeared in her field of vision first and seeing him brought a smile to her muzzle. It never failed, it always brightened her day a bit when she saw one of her sons, but Vitus in particular always made her smile. She noticed the aggravated crease in his brow and her smile was replaced with a small, concerned frown. She came up along side him and settled onto her stomach next to him so that her side was pressed to his. "Hello, my sweet warrior," she cooed as she tenderly nuzzled into his neck. "What is on your mind?" |
