This birth had taken an unexpected toll on my body. I had to...rely on Eden for some favors. I only had so much stored up for food for myself, but these pups sucked the life right out of me. I was only now getting to a point where I am semi-normal again- although I will not admit much in the way of being under par right now.

It turns out one of my children do not have much in the way of vision. I supposed it is his fate to see the world with eyes that cannot see. Perhaps they cannot see what we see, but I believe that he will be able to do more, sense more than others do. And my other son, whose leg is mangled. I am still unsure if I was the cause of this. I remember ripping him from my body with that leg. I have cursed him with a terrible fate. And yet for my daughters? They are indeed perfection. I have always thought that females were more worthy than males in so, so many ways.

Yet recently all I have been able to do is work on caring for myself and getting my energy back. I have perhaps lost some weight after the birth. It was not a pleasant thing. I value my size and my strength and am irritated that I cannot maintain it. I move out of the den, my form graceful and yet perhaps...slower than normal, and I must be more cautious, yet to my youngest pups, they will never know a difference. They will only see me get stronger in time. I step out into the summer world, covered by shade of close trees, I settle into the grass upon my belly.

I simply keep my head lifted with my ever-so-static face, my copper eyes watching over the lands of Glorall carefully. This may be Eden's lands, but even in my weakened state, I will not allow anything...displeasing to happen here. I find a yawn crawling out of my muzzle. I have been yawning more as of late. Tired. I am growing more tired. Perhaps this is what Heyel was talking about all those years ago, that my body will eventually give out on me. Obviously, such a fate much be true as he has fallen into death. I narrow my eyes. I know my existence here is temporary- but I will remain in dominance over the land through that of my blood. I will persist and I will continue on.

For now though, I let the warm breeze brush against my fur on this early morning. My ears will swivel and keep watch for any of my children who may decide to greet me, or some unfortunate pack member who stumbles upon me. Many don't dare bother me to begin with. I much rather prefer it that way.
