At Leisure Lake the sun is always shining and only a few stray clouds roam the open sky; paradise is the one word that really describes it. This beautiful lake is clean and refreshing, the very best place to swim and fish. Pups are known to play here while older wolves watch at the side, engaged in their own activities.

Some are born great
Some achieve greatness

__________________________________________

It was becoming more and more frequent that the prince found himself leaving his family in the wee hours of the morning and not returning until late. Some would think, albeit incorrectly, that he had tired of them, was bored of them, or needed a break from the family way of life. Those same fools might then also believe that he thought Seraphina should be the sole one to take care of the pups, that he should be free as a bird, and even free enough to find another mate if he so chose. But any who would say such things did not know Vladimir, nor did they know anything about the relationship he had with his mate. The smoky caped titan lived and breathed for Sera and the for the pups that they had brought into the world. The bond holding him to her had been wrought long before the magic had awoken within him, and the soulmate bond of the Oferweder only made it stronger. And so, there would never be a love for him like the love he had for her, and were she to ever leave him, either willingly, kidnapped, or by death, there would never again be such a pain to compare to the heartbreak that he would feel. The same applied it to his pups - he would die protecting them if need be. The pair of them, Vladimir and Seraphina, were just barely adults now, it already so much responsibility had been laid up on their plate. Two litters before they had come of age? It was unheard of, except for in abuse cases, but that same magic that had forever intertwined his future with that of Sera’s had also made him exceptionally virile. So while the plan had originally been for Vladimir to take the throne of Dierne Hrof as soon as he became an adult, it was no longer the plan anymore. He was an adult, that time was come and passed… But he would always choose the responsibility of his family first now, but he had to figure out how to deal with that, how to manage the crown he would soon wear in addition to the hat of fatherhood. But not only that, he had to heal from the fight with the vampires, and he needed to start training regularly again. After all, he had not nearly done as well as he should’ve during the fight against them - his moves, both attacks and evasions, had been slow, at least for him, and there had been nothing graceful about the motions his body performed. He was lucky he had gotten away with his life. But now he understood a little bit of the conflict his own father had gone through...

And now we shall digress to the original point, reversing through all of the rambling about his family and say once again that he had been leaving them more frequently in the morning, before the sun had even risen, had not been returning to them until after dark. For Vladimir was training himself, increasing his stamina, while also starting, slowly, to pick up the responsibilities that would soon placed across his broad shoulders. He had started running the border, a fourth of it every day so that he could actually get back to his family at some point. He had started marking it as well - never enough to overshadow that of his half brother Aindreas, but enough for intruders to take note of it. Enough for them to realize that should they trespass, Vladimir would be one of the ones that they would surely have to deal with them. But he had had one other thing upon his mind - a wedding gift for his darling wife to be. The marriage ceremony had yet to occur, but Vladimir wanted it, because he knew it would be important to her. She said that her parents would not come, and he knew that fact caused her great pain and sadness, and so he had been busy trying to plan it so that despite their absence and the lack of support from them, she would still have the happiest of days. His first plan had been to set up a garden for her, a wedding gift. With winter coming, he knew none of it would take bloom yet, but he could at least plant them now so that come spring time, it would be wrapped with color, with its fluorescent perfume… And also its use.

His mother Sebring had been a healer, and while Castiel had been a better student than Vladimir had been, Vlad still knew the basics. He could identify plants that were useful… Even if he didn’t know what they were used for, or how to use them. And so each day, when he explored the boundary, he tried to bring back a new plant. Of course, he had started with the flowers - mainly for beauty… And he placed them around the border of the highly fertilized dirt plot that he had been preparing for her just ten minutes away from their den. For the flowers would be one of the first things to die, and he was only able to identify them by their brightly colored petals. After that, it had been more difficult. It had been necessary for him to enlist the help of some of the others in order to start finding herbs that he should include. Of course, it would not have any rare plants - Vladimir would never know where to even start looking for such things or what they looked like or what their name was. But it would be a start.

Today, he was not really looking for herbs, but for a young sapling tree that would be useful also – that of the guava. He remembered that from time to time he had noticed some of the adult trees down by the lake, by the ocean, but it was hard for him to tell where the young trees were. They looked so… so damn different. He had been trying to find a sapling for days… and when he finally found one, found a sapling, he was so overcome with joy so as to immediately start digging it up, with great care. Bit by bit until all of the silt was freed from around the roots, and then he started heading back toward the pack, when the sound of his mate calling to him stopped him. He turned slowly, his electric blue gaze falling upon hers, and he dropped the sapling. “I…um… hi my love.” How was he to explain the sapling without ruining the surprise?
