Moonspear cause i was born with a smile, and a heart of stone

Finally the snows were starting to perish. Not as fast as he would have liked; winter seemed to linger longer than he remembered years prior, but perhaps it was his own hurries in regards to Amekaze's reproduction that were rushing him along. Charon was busy digging on the birthing den. He'd done all he could to provide another litter this year: attended the fertility festival, made an offering there, received the blessings, had several wolves talk to Ame about the importance of this.. but so far none of it mattered, it seemed. What more could he do to make her see that time was running out?

His head heavy with thoughts Charon returned from a hunt. His mouth was bloody and a hare hung limp from his mouth as he made his way towards the den in the forests below, where he'd cache part of the hare that he hadn't eaten for later, when Ame needed it.

While on his way Charon suddenly heard Arcturus' voice calling out Revui's name. He heard snarls in the distance and dropped the hare to rush towards the noises. He could not believe his eyes to see his son there. All grown up, a bigger, bulkier version of Levi had ever been; a warrior, one befitting of this mountain. A champion. Sporting scars, but that only complimented his warrior's appearance. Stop it, the king commanded with level voice as he approached the boys, tail flagged high and head raised to signal his authority. He didn't know what was going on between the pair of them, why they looked so defensively upon each other, as if ready to grab one another. Charon stopped a few wolves' length of them, his gaze trained on his returned son. Revui -- you returned. There was gratefulness in his voice, and some degree of pride at seeing the boy that had left returned a strong man, a warrior befitting the mountain. What is going on here? he then demanded to know, looking between his two sons. What had driven them so apart that they would act this way upon being reunited?
