Sun Mote Copse Sun Mote Copse, Forever

Three inches of snow had fallen overnight, but the next morning delivered a bright blue sky. The sun came out to warm the land and the back of any animal who basked in its rays. Birds, too, sang merrily from the boughs of leafless trees. Njord admired their tune as he slowly walked through the Copse. A good feeling was in his heart. Meerkat’s pregnancy was progressing without complications, @Nyssa had joined their ranks, and @Stingray had come home.

Now, the four adults worked the land to permanently establish their claim. Njord had enjoyed the past five months alone with his wife. Sure, a visitor or two had made their way to this land… but for the most part, it had been just the two of them. A perfect respite from the trials of life. Now, it was time for a new chapter to begin… and Njord couldn’t have been any more excited.

He happened upon a large stump at the center of a glen. He perched atop it and threw back his head to call a long, low howl. Long live Sun Mote Copse!
