Dragoncrest Cliffs Matthew 25:35

Her heart gives a few faster thump-thump-thumps against her ribcage when Elohim returns the gesture with excitement. Thuringwethil nods her head to his questions, knowing he’ll be excited when the water warms up enough to swim. Their lake is a good (and safer than the ocean) place to start. It has its own depths but it does not have the current or strength of the ocean that is sometimes even too strong for her.

It is when Asherah speaks again, content with the ability to find her place to rest, and Thuringwethil nods her head again. “We have caches in this area since the cavern is not far and the whelping dens are further south,” she explains. They keep their caches internal, close to where they stay themselves. The danger of it being on the outskirts has been a lesson learned without the proper border. Plus, they had a plentiful enough winter that there is more than enough to share and spring is coming, with new live all around.

The mother’s question causes her to turn and it is a few seconds before she answers but, eventually, she confirms with warmth in her voice. “You are safe here,” she tells her with an affirming smile.
