[B] Frozen Stars (River of Stars & Killing Moon)

[Lirilei]

River had met a nice buck, and had spent time with him. Quite a lot of time. Enough time, she now found herself heavy with child, and trudging. Her mother had told her about her own experience with looking for a legendary to bless her own pregnancy. How her and Toxin had both gone seeking and surprised one another. It was a sweet story to her really.

However she'd talked to Lakes, and told him what she was planning to do, before going and doing just that, wandering with no true destination in mind, just walking and searching. She paused at a small watering hole, and lowered her head drinking from the cold pool for a few moments, trying to decide which way to go now.

Thank you!

When it came to seeking a legendary, aimless wandering was the ideal way to have some stag or mare cross your path. The Swamp, it seemed, had some way of guiding both parties together without much hassle and so it was that on the other side of the pool a Kimeti emerged from the surrounding brush.

He was tall, with vibrant red hair, and he was staring at her with a hooded glowing eyes, a smile playing across his mouth.

"Are you looking forward to being a mother?" He asked, his voice friendly and conversational, welcoming.

The sudden question out of no where had her lifting her head, muzzle dripping with water and she shook her head, not in answer but to fling away stray droplets, a pondering look on her face. No one had asked that before but after just a moments thought there was a smile on her face.

"I am. I saw the happiness and love between my own parents growing up with my siblings, and I'd like to be the source of that same joy for my own children." it had been a wonderful time growing up with her family, at least to her.

It was clearly the answer he wanted. The stag's smile had reached his eyes, his head dipping slightly into a nod and then up again to its normal proud height.

"Today that is all I ask from you," he told her, clearly feeling magnanimous. "May it be so, and may those children grow strong with your love and know a life of warmth and joy."

She felt a pleased warmth fill her at the stags words, and a smile crossed her own face. "Thank you!" the joy she felt was echoed loudly in her words as she bobbed her head in thanks to him, eyes dancing in pleasure at the blessing she'd received.

He gave her a brief nod of acknowledgement but said nothing more, just took a leisurely sip from the pool and then went on his way. That was another parent-to-be assisted and there would soon be another, leading him across the Swamp.
