It had almost felt like a century since the young mollies mother had passed away due to green cough. It had completely taken caught her off guard, one moment she was laying with her in the nursery and the next she was suddenly an orphan. She had never known who her father was or where they were and if they even loved her. Her mother's passing was shortly before her apprenticeship so her ability to ask questions were very slim. Now here she was a newly made warrior and feeling absolutely alone in her own little world.
Well, she was somewhat alone anyways, she had one very close friend that she'd try and talk to every second she got. But since they had become warriors, it was almost as if they were fated to stay apart their given tasks driving them away. Oriolepetal shook her head a little as she laid down next to the warriors den her amber hues closing slightly as she tried to empty her thoughts of anything and everything. Light puffs of snow sprinkled down around them.
It would be a few hours before she had to go out on another border patrol maybe even a hunt, so she had decided to take this moment to relax and clear her thoughts. Perhaps she'd find Inksong and see how they're doing. That was before a ginger and black molly caught her eye. Curiosity caught her eye as she slowly got up walking towards her with a small smile. "Good morning love! How are you?" she asked softly dipping her head towards her.
Desertriver Riverclan Queen Looking at the molly in front of her, a frown appeared on her lips as she shifted to one side as Desertriver couldnāt help but be lost in her thoughts for just a moment. The golden-black molly knew the feeling, her own mother wasnāt around when growing up because she ran off with another tom when Desert and her siblings were about 4 moons old. While it did hurt, Desertriver had learned how to adjust to her fatherās evil ways after a while but knew that a part of her sisters and herself was missing due to Topazfireās absence. It wasnāt until the small Maine Coon snapped out of her thoughts and looked towards the younger molly āSheās watching over you, wherever she is.. Make sure that you keep making her proud while also not pressuring yourself to live up to such standards.. Okay?ā Desertriver said, looking at the nursery. After becoming a mother, the golden-black molly experienced such love towards her children. She knew that when her kits would become apprentices, they would face challenges.. But she always wanted Paintedkit, Brumekit, Hazekit and Miragekit to know that she always loved them no matter what happened in life.
Desertriverās ears perked up, when Oriolepetal asked how she was doing. Taking a deep breath, she looked towards the nursery for a moment where Sharkstride was inside with the kits before her amber-green gaze looked back at the cream and white molly āIām doing.. Good, just learning how to adapt.ā The golden-black molly said truthfully. Desertriver wanted to make sure that her kits were doing well in the end, thatās what mattered to her. There would be a day where Sharkstride and Desertriver would learn how to co-parent peacefully, but both of them knew that their childrenās best interests came first. While Desertriver was doing fairly well, she knew Sharkstride was hurting more than her. Rolling her shoulders slightly, the molly shook her head slightly as she rather talked about something else than her love life. āThe kits are well, always full of energy!ā Desertriver changed the subject with a grin on her face, the tip of her tail flicked for a moment. The molly let out a laugh and shook her head in amusement. āIām going to miss those little boogers when they become apprentices, I plan to be that embarrassing mother if they donāt come to see me enough.ā The golden-black molly teased, her amber-green eyes lighting up. Tilting her head, she nodded in understanding āIām glad to hear that you and Inksong are speaking, now more than ever we need a lot of support in life.ā Desertriver said, nodding in approval. Getting up from her seat, she beckoned her head towards the entrance of the camp āIāve been wanting to stretch my legs for a while, mind escorting a nursery queen around the territories?ā Desertriver questioned, wanting to just leave the camp for a bit and get some fresh air.. She also wanted to try fishing, the molly had slowly gotten back into the hunting groove after being a house cat for so long and depending on cat food.. Truth be told, the molly was glad to be eating fresh-kill once more.
