Grouse Thicket SLACKBOT THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU

@Charon ,though AW!

The evening was fresh, the sky still a vibrant orange when the dark Lady woke up because of a kick in her stomach from one of the little devils. Her yellow eyes blinked. She had not realized that she had fallen asleep. It was good sign though, for that meant her mind was at ease here- even with the nightmares of the Dark Brotherhood still fresh in her mind. She yawned softly, canine teeth almost glimmering in the light that was still present in the den she had picked for her family. She wasn't tired anymore, and instead of even trying to go back to sleep, she sneaked out of the den, leaving her little boys in the hands of their followers. They were old enough now to be alone for a little while anyway.

She wandered through the woods, mind going over the things that had happened not so long ago. Poor Vassago losing his tail to a bear, Issun showing up at the river all of the sudden and her confession to Burke. Most of it was all good, though so sad at the same time. She couldn't really explain what she was feeling. She felt more alive, more active than ever before. She now had something to fight for, to protect. Never would she leave her family again, never ever.

She soon reached the river and stared down into the streaming water. The soft pink and orange danced in the small waves, a sight that made her stop to stare for a moment. the first stars were already high up in the air, her favorite one near where she thought the sea was. She smiled as she jumped in the water and swam to the other side with ease. The cool water was nice against her hot skin, though she figured it would soon be cold with the night just beginning. Like an owl, she raced over the open field for a moment before settling in the direction of a place she had not yet seen everything of. The journey for her was not so long, and soon the wandered through another part of Teekon covered in trees.
