warmth and milk-scent leached from the crack in which her mother had made her den, having the midnight girl pause a moment in her stride. had conditions been optimal, she would have returned with prey in her paw and pride in her step, and yet she had little more to show for her endeavour than the slightest limp and disappointed gaze.
yet the tiny sounds of new life made the hunt seem suddenly inconsequential, and the star child softened a moment. yet all too soon she was reminded of the last time she had seen new life; the caves, the ravings of a madman, the witch of a mother who seemed to wish only for death. spine prickling, she slunk softly onto her stomach, the shadow becoming a silent sentinel outside the den, green eyes at its entrance but unable to find the will to enter.
it would only seem an intrusion, now, with the twisted memories gnawing at the back of her mind. and so she would wait, hoping that the twisted thoughts would soon dissipate, that their oppressive pressure would simple lighten.
she was patient.

That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.
And with strange aeons even death may die.
