A Golden Afternoon yawned softly as she made her way into a lovely field of flowers. She and her mate were expecting, their very first, and she was both incredibly excited and a little nervous. She knew they'd be fantastic parents, their strong bond and deep love were unshakeable. They would love the new life they were to bring into this world with that same strength.
Golden was a determined Doe, strong-willed, a bit challenging at times, but absolutely sweet of disposition. She wasn't exactly the rough-and-tumble type, preferring a good afternoon of preening or doting on her mate to crashing through the underbrush. But she was also ambitious. She wanted to give her children as much advantage as she could.
But how did she do that? She'd heard of Legendaries, Kin blessed by the MotherFather and the swamp with strange gifts and abilities. Perhaps seeking one out might hold the answer to her question. So here she was. She'd wandered farther than she had intended and into this beautiful meadow. Butterflies danced on lazy breezes, the grass swayed back and forth with budding new life. Golden inhaled deeply the sweet fragrance of the flora surrounding her and smiled.
A foxbun sat among the flower, her red nose streaked with yellow pollen and her ears perked inquisitively. Her eyes were aglow, in a way only the Swamp could provide. It was a good season for babies, so many new lives arriving in the spring, other bellies still swollen and ready, just needing a little more time.
