Swiftcurrent Creek tomorrow’s kings

Etienne ruffled hai fur and moved into step beside the other male. Golden gaze on the horizon and back to Cambria.

When was the last time he had simply walked. He wasn't sure. He tilted an ear as Cambria spoke.

Etienne sucked in a breath in thought what was his perfect day. He wasn't certain. But then pain blossomed along his insides.

A perfect day for me would be one dat I cannot 'ave ever again.

Etienne shook his head and placed a paw down. I would wake up near de sea. All my siblings wit' me. Reki and Suzu and T'eo. We would spend time. Den I be swimming in de sea. I would visit my granmes Erzulie and Roz. Mostly granme Roz. I would ask dem of deir lives. If dey was proud of me. And den I would nap and sing. But dat can never 'appen. My granmes are gone beyond dis world. My siblings...all I 'ave left is Suzu from our litter. Dey younger ones do not know me well.
