Blacktail Deer Plateau With Baited Breath I scream for joy

Val cameo :D

There was a buzz in the air and the plateau felt alive. The change in atmosphere caught Valtýr by surprise, not understanding why this dawn was different than any other. He rose to his feet ad mingled towards the center of the plateau when he spotted a gathering outside Blue Willow's den.

The winter air was warm with new scents. Afterbirth, mother's milk, and new life... all faintly familiar to the still-young Sveijarn. He shuffled forward cautiously, stretching his neck out as long as possible to eavesdrop on the adults' conversation. 'Two sons and a daughter,' Lasher told those who had gathered. 'Three pups!' Dante exclaimed.

A small smile crept upon Val's brackish maw, his dark tail swishing to and fro with subdued glee. The Blacktail's newest members had been born.
