Silvertip Mountain Long After Your Gone

Odette sat outside of the den thinking of the man that Uncle Steady had named her Father.  She bit her lip.  Was she the only one who didn't have one?  Or were there others out there that were also Fatherless.  Odette sure hoped not... she would never wish that upon anyone ever.  Odie hoped not, even though she had never really had a true chance to meet and bond with her mysterious gone Father, it felt strange to think that she could have had one.

What was it like to have a Father though?  Odette began to wonder.  What did they do?  Teach you how to hunt?  Help you speak your first words?  Play with you?  Odie didn't know.  Still she knew that she had Uncle Steady.  Maybe he could and was her Father in some way.  Odette thought about that for a little it, but still thought about this unknown Father.  Did he even look like her?
