Dragomir had grown so much, and flourished, upon Moonspear. She could scarcely remember a day without him in it; Hydra felt her children could learn much from him and his work ethic, and hoped that as they came along in their own ages they would contribute as he did. Much had changed for Hydra; after speaking with Jarilo, she considered Dragomir now as the sole contender for the beginnings of making dream reality. She wondered if it would be a desire of his, and hoped that it might be. Though he came not from her womb, Hydra found he brought her both pride and joy as much as her own children did. 

Blessedly Isilme had returned; it was a fortuituous thing, and Hydra hoped that as she entered into the adult ranks alongside her brother that she would learn more of her. She hoped the pale-furred girl would stand with her brother and strengthen him as only a sister could, and selfishly Hydra desired to spend more time with her too in the days to come. She felt cheated that hunger had claimed Isilme and stolen the young one from her as a girl, and angry that there was nothing she or anyone else could have done for it. Her absence had caused Hydra to want to set her teeth to something, but there was nothing to do for it given the reasoning... no new enemy, only the same old ancient one that was hunger. At the very least things seemed to be changing for the better; with them, Isilme could be fed at least. 

When the sun rose, Hydra took to one of the stones at the edges near the mountaintop and sang of her pride; two cubs had survived into young adulthood, and she was proud for them. All nearby would know of this occassion, though no names were mentioned in the song; our cubs have entered the adult ranks, and we are stronger for it!
