While Euphemia had such connection to her mother in these moments, Adonis felt his mother’s absence more than ever. He tried his best to be big and strong in these moments, even though he really didn’t know what he was doing. But he knew she would have known! All the little things one has to know…but Adonis and Euphemia would have to simply figure it all out together. Of course, they have the Dawnbreak pack, and he was so thankful to find such a wonderful group.

Euphemia thanked Hexx, and Adonis gave a swift nod with a grin on his face. ”Yes, much thanks to you!” he said, feeling all warm and fuzzy, but with a hint of anxiety. They were indeed small balls of pup…and he had battled a creature of mud and paid with his life before. His mind began to wander for a small moment, eyes glazing over a bit as he considered…

What if the creature of mud attacked them on their journey? It had so easily ripped out his throat…the thought of such a thing happening to the pups! He simply could not bear it. He blinked a few times, shaking his head and trying to wear a smile that had just faded away into thought.

If it came to it, he would just have to die again.

”Eat, little ones! We will ensure a journey most quick!” he said as he too nudged a pup gently, considering a quick journey may perhaps mean they skip over any mud monsters..

”When do we depart these lands, my Euphemia?” he asked, taking her lead on these matters, as he trusted her mother’s instinct.
