Dec 3rd.
The woman had been returned to her cottage though in her mind she wasn't for sure of that. She'd laid outside on the porch ignoring the numbing cold that whipped across her pelt. Deuce hadn't said anything but the Matriarch already knew the extent of damage the bear had done, not alone of course. She would never had been mauled in the first place of Ahren hadn't stepped in to prevent her escape to safety. She'd left that part out, she'd left everything out to be exact. Deuce already had realized a bear had been the cause of her injuries and Iskata had let it be. The banadges that covered her body were nice for one thing, atleast the world wasn't forced to see the damage the beast had done to her silvery gold pelt. The ones Deuce had placed over her once sky orbs were pointless, Iskata's eyesight was gone and she didn't even know where she belonged anymore.
Her ears were pinned back against her skull as she ignored the whimpering of the last remaining pup from her litter. The child could be fed meat though she still needed milk. The woman was too weak of body and soul to tend to the feedings and she knew that her son had taken up the duties until Deuce had her litter, giving the youngest Sadira milk from the lifestock out in the pasture. Iskata should have been curled up by the fire with the small hybrid by her side atleast but her own sorrows and pains were keeping her out in the cold harsh winds.
Everything seemed to be falling through her paws just at the top of her game. She'd never been happier than the time she'd been spending with her pack lately.. but after the accident she'd pulled herself away from the center of things, it wasn't like she could even assist in a damn thing anyways. Pink tinted tears seeped through the bandages as she was faced with the truth, there wasn't anywhere left for her as a leader of their pack what could a blind cripple do to defend her people, what could she do when a stranger came calling. She was worthless, the weakest link.
