Would Diveen ever know how weak I am when it comes to small wolves? That is one thing to take advantage of, even if it does sound ridiculous. I have no problem attacking other wolves the same size of me, a little smaller even. But when they are tiny and young, my powers are sucked away and that, I recently found out that is applied to my children. I loved them already. Aaargh, such a sweet word shall never be spoken in public by me. I hereby declare that any gods may never be forced to express their feelings in public presence of other gods or even the mere mortals. Done.

Now to meet my son. My head turns towards Everlast as she comes to me calling my name. For a moment the epic and heartmelting scene of us running towards each other is reproduced in slow motion. As graceful as I can be with a broken paw, limping towards her when… The music stops and she spins around. I half hate her for it and thank her too. It isn’t easy to run with this paw, so I start walking again. But really… It was such a beautiful scene. Well, it is over now. She brings my son forward before coming back to me and shoving her muzzle in my neck.

- I missed you, Everlast

I told her as quiet as I could be, trying to maintain my law. Nuzzling her. She looks at me in shock, then at my paw. I can tell… yeeah… I know what she is thinking… Even with a broken paw and an eye lost, this wolf is HOT! Yeeeah. I know it is such a shock, but ladies… What did you expect? I am a god.

- I’m sorry, love… Everything has been a mess. But it is all over now

I told her gently, assuring her. Then she calls my attention to the pup, Nike. He is indeed perfection. He does look like me when I was younger.

- He is… You are indeed perfect, my son… I had been just as perfect. But now, my body has been harmed. At least I can still say that I never lost a fight

I told him gently, hearing him greet me with a small hi.

- Hi, Nike… I am sure you will grow to be much better.

That is the destiny of our children, as told to my father before me. But I am not afraid of that, like my dad has been. I am proud of that.
