Northstar Vale Once More With Feeling

@Hime

He awoke to a sun beginning to warm the face of the Earth. His body took to it comfortably as he emerged from where he had slept. the grey scaled lad stretched beneath the rising sun and he felt perfectly refreshed. his day was beginning and he wondered what it would hold for him. 

 With a certain quickness to his step he made his way to the a pond within the vale. Everything seemed to have calm down lately and it took a weight off his shoulders. Reiko had given birth to her children and he knew it would help the empress return to her duties. in some way he felt as though it gave him more to do. There were now children that he had to offer the same protection he extended to her. 

 This was not just for Reiko, however, this was for all the children of the Vale. Everyone who would need immediate protection from whatever should come to them. Thankfully, there were no enemies and there was nothing to fret about.

It was noted that could change in an instance. 

 He sat at the edge of the waters and looked into them. There was a sudden sadness that had constantly ensnared a part of his heart. Valhalla was where his heart had been and adapting to this new life he had chosen was not always easy. Would things have been different had he come into leadership? Perhaps the efforts of their enemies could have been thwarted had he been just a bit older. 

Oh well. 

His destiny had changed and he was imbued with a new desire to serve and protect. He was not displeased with his new life and wouldn't succumb to regret or anything that would deter him from where he had come to thrive.
