Sex: FemaleIt was then that the lead female from Black Thorns Down entered Ansti's birthing den and found her with her her son and her daughter, one of them living and one of them not. Words were murmured and it was then that the woman discovered that she was not the only one to lose a pup this spring. It was then that she did not hold the loss so close to her heart as something that she specifically did wrong. It was without another word from the broken mother that the leader spoke and introduced herself, offering a home until Abadeer could travel if not longer is Anstice could prove herself and Abadabadoo could prove himself when the time would come and he was old enough.
More importantly it was a form of protection for Anstice. More importantly, it was protection for Abadeer.
The kindness was so unexpected that Anstice had a pure look of shock on her face. "T-th-thank you." She called out with a grateful tone as she looked at Abadeer and then to Delilah. She could not carry them both so she would have to part for a few moments to bury Delilah. Anstice dug a small hole in the cave with her paws, being fast about it before placing her princess in the ground and burying her. "My angel, one day you will return. When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east." The sadness filled her as she picked up Abadeer and followed Minka into Black Thorns Down.
Anstice had a feeling she would call it home for a long time.
