Broken Antler Fen Endings and Beginnings

For @Pearl

Odette stared into the water of the fen, thinking of beginnings and ends.  Why had she come here alone?  Why was Stoic an Adeline not with her?  Why had her Mother and Father died?  Why did Solemn have to die?  Why did STeady take such a horrible turn?  Why did she have to lose her family...?  Was she really even Odette Silvertip anymore?  For a moment she wanted to say no, that Silvertip, her last name was a terrible thing of the past.  She wanted to burry it for a few seconds.  Kill it even.  Suddenly though those thoughts just froze.  Silvertip had been the name shared by her Mother and Father.  She couldn't leave that name in the past.  She couldn't leave Odette and Odie in the past either.  These were the names that came from her Mother and Father, they could not just forgotten, for it seemd like one of the deepest betrayals.  It was then that she realized it was not Silvertip Mountian that she truly feared, it was the wolves who inhabbited it.

Odette started to walk and walk.  She walked for what seemed like hours, thinking of what could have been and what had happened.  Still she felt special to have such good wolves who seemed to take on the roles of her Mother and Father in ways.  Sebastian and sorta Pearl.  She personally wanted to spend more time with Pearl, to learn about her and all which would be more than great.  Soon her legs got tired and Odie found that she had to sit down and rest for a little while, now staring back into the Fen that she had visited with Uncle Seb.
