Reiko's pregnancy had not brought her the same difficulties she'd faced during that of the previous year, and for that the druid was thankful. Together they lived quietly among their family on Tsukiishi, void of the stresses that'd long plagued Shiroshika, which allowed the Empress to take everything in het stride. They were, at last, content.

Happy.

Blessed.

Quicksilver stayed with his beloved for as long as she would allow. Though reluctant, he withdrew from her side when she asked for privacy. He'd remained with her throughout her last labour, eager to support not only as husband but as doctor. The silverwhite was anxious, naturally, but he did not doubt Reiko's strength and ability. She would whelp, and all would be well.

When at last the still time came, Quicksilver stepped carefully into the cave where his mate lay curled close to the little bodies of their newest brood. His ears pricked forward with interest, the platinum midwife moved to greet her with affection.

As with his sisters, Arathorn was born into the world with little fanfare. He was alive. He breathed. He ate. It would be his way until the time came for his ears to unfurl and his eyes to open. He would not know how different he looked, not yet. Whether it would set him apart would remain to be seen but for now, Arathorn was content with his only purpose in life: To eat and sleep.
