Blackfeather Woods So many things to explore

Luckily, Parvati's whelping den was nearby Moonshadow, and Maegi trusted the woman to look after her children when she could not. Today, though, they were all out and about, exploring. She marveled at the way the pups were growing, faster than she could keep track. Then again, she hadn't been the most attentive of leaders. . .

But that, hopefully, would change soon, once she got out of this funk.

Hey, Moonshadow, Maegi greeted, forcing a smile upon her weary face. She blinked down at the children, trying to make her ragged countenance as nonthreatening and friendly as she could. Hey, you guys, she added, her tone bubbly. Isn't it amazing out here? So much to see!

She only vaguely remembered most of her time as a pup, long lazy days in Spiderlings' Glen, idly exploring or playing with her brothers. She hoped they would remember their childhood just as fondly.
