The Sentinels but hold the banner proudly, the truth will set us free

The pup called out in a word that sounded kind of like 'witch', and the little mewls made her heart soar. Aria let out a giggle of pure happiness, and nosed gently at the pup again. It was then that she felt her begin to shiver, and the white girl frowned. "Snow is cold, Deirdre," she cooed to her, knowing that although she did not understand what it meant that perhaps one day the statement would make sense to her. 

She picked up the small thing softly in her jaws, holding her by the scruff. She moved then towards the den, which wasn't far off, and set the pup down at the entrance. She nosed her softly in persuasion to go back in. "Home, Deirdre. Home," she sang sweetly to her, wondering if the babe had ever heard that sound before. She wouldn't dare go into the whelping den, but she knew that the pup would freeze outside.
