Was it a dream?
She asked herself yet again as she traversed the swamp, Sprig flying closely with the troubled doe. It still felt too real, too vivid, something she couldn't really make up on her own. But still, the revelations were real to her, thoughts that had plagued her for so long were -- finally getting clearer. Though she still had to know. To face it head on.
Bare Trees found herself moving towards her mothers territory, she'd only been there from when she was born and another time, she couldn't really remember but she still knew where it was and where to go. And as she found the ground more and more littered with bones stripped off their meat clean, broken bones and half-buried skulls in the dirt. Her heart skipped a beat, she was close. She really didn't know what to expect when she met her mother, would be too strange if she went 'Oh hello mother, long time no see, by the way, I dreamt of you!'
In any case --- she would say her peace.

"You are...selfish, girl."
Her sunset eyes narrowed and the fur on her shoulders stood on end so greatly that she practically looked doubled in side, like an angry owlcat. She shifted forward - not the one hoof like the other, no, but a fluid movement, confident and full of practice and skill - teeth bared further. "You infringe on what I have built, my home, my territory, so you can find peace of mind with a question?"
The trees rustled. A low, throaty warning growl slid through the doe's displayed teeth. She didn't give permission for the question, but she hadn't lunged yet, either.

And she certainly was different in many ways, she used to think that she couldn't ever belong if her family wouldn't accept her -- or acknowledge her. She thought she had to hide herself and show them that she could be a huntress --! But even if it was in her blood, it was not her. She was a whole new branch from her blood relations and that was alright. -- And perhaps she would form a whole new seed to plant.
She actually smiled a little at that, nodding her head. "Yes," she paused, lifting her head a little. "You told me, if it's family I seek, make one. And -- I wanted to say thank you for that. And birthing me." Perhaps her mother didn't understand her completely, and vice versa but somehow she did felt more connected to Winter after all this strangely enough. The MotherFather had their ways.
"Though I am not like you, and I may not understand fully, I am thankful for all that you've taught me."
