Fearful was I as I stand in wait for him. That same fear pushes me onward, hustling our child right along, and I think my neck will snap from the strain of turning to look around so much. A low growl bubbles within my throat, threatening to spill over and terrorize even the birds. I needed to make sure that Zeus was okay - could he be okay? Could I be okay? What did I do now?! As my thoughts flip over one another they begin to grow larger. Larger than I can contain and it is a task to straighten and sort them out. To calm the racing beat of my heart so that I can breath in a less panicked manner. It helps when my steel gray eyes turn to spy him, glorious Zeus, lying near the river. The sun seems to beam off of his figure; it allows him an otherworldly light and for a second I am stunned by his beauty, stunned by his presence, and stunned at his still being alive.
Only then do I pull back, blinking in shock at the loss of his eye, gaze slowly falling down to his mauled paw. Was it broken? I had no clue, clearly I was not the best for learning the healing arts with my breaking mind.
