Silver watched RawClaw go, then turned to run back to Steeltalon's home. She ran until she thought her lungs would burst, and then she saw the home she had grown up in. She wondered what had been happening while she was gone. "Steeltalon!" she barked.
Steeltalon lifted her head in surprise. "Silver," she gasped. "You're alive!" She trembled in joy, then realized that Silver wasn't here to stay. "Why did you come back?" Steeltalon studied Silver's expression.
"I've come to say I've found a mate," Silver growled happily. "And to see what's been going on since I left."
"Not much has happened," Steeltalon admitted. "I trust we'll be seeing you again soon enough, with more little hatchlings." Her eyes gleamed with mischief.
Silver nodded, trying to hide her embarrassment. "Yours are beautiful," she told her foster mother. She looked at Darkness, trying to read his expression.
