Moonspear these are the lessons in love

Hydra is pleased by young Atlas and his inquiry, though she can sense her children each want to know the same thing as he. It does not show, though, and she answers lowly: when you begin to participate in the hunt, we can track them. Harass them. They are fleet of foot; their size lends them swiftness. They used to outrun me, she revealed, but I trained to increase my speed. And I trained my mind to outwit them, with my own mother and father, Hydra's eyes passed over their faces as she finished, though that is a story for another day. The mother leaves no room for argument, paw shifting from jowls to throat. 

On any animal, the throat is the killing place. But the throat is typically the most protected, at first. You should always take care to protect your own, when you fight. Like this, she demonstrated, draping her muzzle protectively over her own elegant neck. She removed her paw from the carcass, and said, now, you do the same. Once they did, she would let them accost these animals as it pleased them.
