Moonspear a year past

Hydra listened to her father speak, and she listened, attention rapt. As he commended her Hydra felt her tail waving again. It took a moment for her to register his final words, though once she did she nodded to him. I would be happy to, she responded. She needn't ask why; he already expressed why. She was the strongest, and the most mature—his words exactly. If he thought she could do it, she absolutely would. She couldn't wait to tell her sisters. Thanks dad, she said with a grin, I won't let you guys down. Hydra had Moonspears interest in mind pretty much always; if anything, this made it increase tenfold.
