Feels Like Today

Yurella gave a small smile. She was happy that her nephew had found some closure speaking with her, and she would stand up and look over at the water. "Naoise, look," she spoke, pointing her paw over to the stream where the fish swum around. "These fish come here to lay their eggs, to make life anew. They leave their babies behind because they know that some will be able to make it in this world, but only if the Gods allow it. Your path is never chosen for you, you must make it yourself." She sat her haunches back down in front as she faced the water. "Salmon have to jump up a waterfall to have their eggs, and I would know that due to speaking with this elder wolf on my travels. He had told me this," she placed her paw in the water, "See the ripples? Someone has to start them, don't they?" She smiled.

"Sometimes, things in life are not easy, you never know what will happen. Mystic may have seemed somewhat naïve and boisterous, but she is your sister. She only wishes to earn your respect, and sometimes the right path in life is not the easiest one, and your father knew that when he went to go and retrieve Mystic. He knew what he was getting into, and he just wants your family to be whole again." The woman nudged her nephew once more and gave him a gentle lick on the head, "Your father loves you and your siblings equally. I know that you were upset at first that it seemed like Mystic has been taking your bonding away from your father, but, your father has asked you countless times to join him and Mystic on their little adventures, has he not?"
