Broken Timber Pines father time and mother nature

@Nalda @Bracken @Arion @Ember , specifically but anyone is welcome its been a while since we've had a thread, and Koda wants to make up for lost time!

What was a king without those who followed and looked up to him, what then would he be if he had not gotten to meet the very wolves who were set to enter adulthood within a few days? He hadn't been very active in his daughter's life and he blamed his desire to keep the pack afloat on his lack of attention to what was happening before his very eyes--the pups he's helped to rear had grown up practically without him. It was a truth he was not proud of but that did not mean he did not time left to reconcile what he'd missed out months for--he had every intention to catch up on the lost time he'd had from his remaining daughter and the two yearlings who did not hold his last name but had been loyal members since their conception.  In his jaws he carried two rabbits one plumper than the other though both were fairly healthy in weight and size; adult males from the scent of them. He would present them as gifts when finally he called them for a meeting ARION, EMBER, NALDA he howled after placing the rabbits softly at his feet , the stain of blood along his maw and chest were obvious as he studied the horizon in search of the towering yearlings. Surely Ember had to be close to his height by now and he was excited to see how beautiful she had become with age.

It saddened him, upon realization, that Bracken would not be growing side by side with Ember and guilt washed over him. He wondered how much she blamed him and whether she would appear considering that her disappearance had been because of his lack of reasoning--he should not have left the pack during such a vulnerable time. He should have took heed of his wife and simply stayed with the pack until winter had released its cold grip but pride and desperation had gotten the best of him before he could phantom how detrimental his departure could be. He had a list as long as his age for the stupid mistakes he had made and losing his daughter was near the top, next only to hearing about the deaths of his own sons. He had hope that somewhere out there Bracken was wandering, searching for her father and would return to them safely when the fire for finding him grew dim; he only hoped that would be soon.  He sat down on his haunches in wait of his company, the stench of blood filling the air as he waited.

Arla and Emma are the ish and made my pretties!
Koda will most likely always be accompanied by Chiron unless otherwise stated, or requested.
