Rain typically didn’t bother Cho, but today it was annoying her to no end. She had been wandering through the dense part of the forest looking for something to eat and having little to no luck. She saw a rabbit, but didn’t bother since it wouldn’t fill her for very long. She was looking for something big. A buck would be amazing or even a doe, that is if she came across one. However, her hunger wasn’t the main source of her annoyance. It was because she wanted to talk to her son eldest son. Things had been a little rocky for awhile now and it was mainly her fault. She didn’t hide from her mistakes and attacked them head on even if they made her feel like a horrible monster. When she cleared the air between her oldest daughter Hex, she felt like someone stuck a knife in her heart, but when it came to Hex that was a entirely different thing. Hex was her first and she was never a great mother with her. She was in fact terrible and treated her badly no matter how much she tried. She just wanted her to be strong, which in turn caused Hex to feel some animosity towards her.
When it came to Hia…you had to think about everything. Hia was her oldest son and the only child without any type of claws. She took that immediately as she had failed. She had nothing against those without claws, but she always wanted her children to inherit this because it meant they had a better fighting chance. In a way you could say she was obsessed with strength and power, which was surprisingly since her parents were never the type to really be physically strong. They were strong emotionally and had a strong loving relationship. This though manifested into something else in her. Being strong physically, emotionally, and mentally was something she had always strived for. She took care of her twin sister fiercely to the point where she would sacrifice herself for her if she had to. That was the kind of mare Cho was. She was passionate about what she believed in, but in turn that meant you had to prove you were strong to her. So Hex, Adriel, and Nhyovi were what she was proud of. What she strived her and they didn’t let her down.
He once against was her oldest son, but also her biggest failure. She loved him. She would always love her children, but he was something she wasn’t ready for. He couldn’t climb trees. He could grip into flesh with his claws. He couldn’t so the things she was used to doing when it came to training. She felt lost when he was young. He was so eager to learn and be this knight, she didn’t encourage him. She shunned him in a way. You could say she was prejudice of his appearance, but that wasn’t it. He was her biggest failure because when she looked at him, she saw the son she had a hard time accepting. She didn’t feel as connected with him as she did her other children. It made her feel like she failed as a mother. In turn this caused him to be close to his father and train with his grandfather.
All this came crushing down after talking to her cousin Ela. It was as if she had been keeping it deep within herself never wanting it to come to the surface. Ela told her there was still time to make this right. There was still time to made sure he didn’t absolutely hate her. She would never forgive herself if she didn’t see whatever grandchildren he had or meet his future mate. She would break and Gareth would be there to pick up the pieces.
She dug her claws into the soft mud following the scent of her son knowing he was close by. He never truly went very far. He would always stay in the area no matter what even though he always wanted to travel. He would always come back home.
She stepped into the open grove and saw him resting beside a tree. He looked like he was comfortable and trying to stay out of the rain as much as he could.
“Son..” Cho stopped and watched his eyes fall on her. He didn’t look all that happy to see her.
“I knew I would find you here..you always liked this spot when you were younger..” She chose her words carefully. You could tell.
“I came here..not to talk about the past…but I want us to move on and look to the future. Your still my son. You know that right?” She asked looking at him with tired eyes.
