It was to be a day of just them. A day together, mother and son. Andromeda had started the day as normal, but the night before she promised Guardian that they would have a day together. Andromeda awoke in the den with her sons, they did their normal routine for a bit, but Andromeda could trust her sons to stay in the den area. She would not go far, and Meryl was a rather responsible boy. He would make sure they stayed near the den. The dark female had been feeling better as of late. Her birth was rather difficult, leading to exhaustion that she had never experienced in her life. Luckily, she had her boys to take care of her. Now it was her time to take care of them. Guardian, little Guardian. She had failed him when he was born. She had failed to muster the energy to clean and cuddle him. Her body had refused and it had weighed on her mind. She still felt guilty, even though she knew it wasn't anything she could do about it. In reality, the star-child could do nothing to make up for it...but maybe today would make him feel a little more special.

It was the evening. A time near dusk when the sun would fall and soon the stars will rise. Azrael should be home soon, though she had spoken to him before about going out with Guardian for a bit. Andromeda had just spoken to Starfall and Meryl about staying near the den. She would not worry too much, there were Diveen wolves all about, and their father would be home soon. The female of blackened grace gave affectionate licks to Guardian's brothers before giving her youngest son a nudge. Her long black limbs pulled her frame out of the dirt and stone of their den and out into the sunny spring of the evening. Her form had a sheen of brilliance as the sun fell upon her, legs flailing out to stretch as she waited for Guardian to come out with her. Andromeda straightened herself out, standing tall as her muzzle lifts to take in the fresh air, huffing happily before her yellow eyes turned to Guardian. He was adorable, her little Guardian. He had eyes that would burn into your soul and a face that would melt your heart. Naturally, her face softened at she gazed upon him, tail starting to wag gently behind her.

"Come, my son, for this is a very important night for you," Andromeda said, her voice so strong, so regal, and it fit her dark frame that was thick with muscle...and fat. Her birthing had led to a lack of exercise, due to exhaustion. Azrael went a little overboard and kept a nice stockpile of food at the ready for her. Thus, the girl had gained some weight that she would lose in the coming months. It wasn't too bad though, and it is how her sons have always known her to be. Yellow eyes blinked at her son before nodding in the direction they were going. Black paws began to walk in the growing green grass. They were to head to a small hill, one that would go above the trees but not too high up for Guardian. He was still young, still growing oh so fast and really, she couldn't believe how much time had passed. As they walked the sun was starting to set, the sky was clear of all clouds and ostructions. She had chosen this night for she knew the moon was to be out in full tonight. It could already be seen through the atmosphere in the distance. Occationally she would look down at her son, making sure he was keeping up and adjusting her pace accordingly.

All around them the crickets and insects began to sing. It was a special song this night, for it was the night for Andromeda and Guardian. Andromeda took the most prominent of trails, so Guardian would have the easiest of time. Heck, Andromeda hardly even knew what she was doing or where she was going. She just knew she had to find a private spot for her and her son. She had a chosen a path with a soft but steady incline, one that shouldn't be too difficult for Guardian. He may not even notice it. Andromeda stopped to take a look down at him, hoping he was not too...well bored. Puppies do tend to get bored of their parents. She nudged him and gave him lick on the face before turning to continue. It wouldn't be long until they reach the destination, and it should be something Guardian could do. She thought anyway. He may be tired afterwards, and she might have to carry him back to the den. It was just as she had done with her father all those years ago. Once they were on near the edge of the incline where they could see unhindered by trees or cliffs, she turned to speak to Guardian.

"Guardian, we are higher up now. You must not get close to the edge. It is a danger and can hurt you if you fall," she said simply, her head lowered down on his level. They were feet from the edge, but she had to make sure anyway. She lowered her great form down to the ground, watching as the sun sets before them. It is beautiful but really, she kept her eyes on Guardian and what he did. She kept her head high and her front legs open. He could choose to sit next to her or within the nest of her legs and chest...she hoped he would choose to snuggle. It wouldn't be long before he would be too old for such a thing. Andromeda looked down upon him with loving eyes, waiting to see what he does.

"Guardian, my son, do you know why I have brought you here?" she asked, yellow eyes stuck to him like glue. She was curious as to what his response would be, and she was sure she would hear it soon, just as she was hearing the songs of night popping up all around them.
