Altador... I regret that we never tried to bring him over to our side. Blaze and Raven were good friends of ours, and I can't help but wonder if things could have been different if we had reached out to him. But it's too late for "what ifs" now. I hope, if he’s still out there, that someday, somehow, he’ll see the light.
To me, Altador was always a complicated figure. I do not think I will ever truly forgive his mother and the rest of that pack, but I was taken captive by them long before Altador was born. In fact, he was one of the only members who offered to look the other way and give me a chance to visit my family. I believe there was a mutual feeling of sympathy there. I know the pain of being separated from one's siblings. We both shared a common experience in that sense.
My feelings towards Altador remain mixed though. He was always a proud and prominant member of the Bloodred Circle, the organization that caused us all so much pain. Yet he had always shown me understanding and unspoken kindness. I suppose it is natural to have complicated feelings towards someone who is both good and bad. That said, I will always remember the good things he did for me, and I will ever be grateful to him for that.
Since she first appeared to me in my dreams, Jaluma was a beacon of light in my life. Her wisdom and insight were a true gift. She showed me that everything around us is alive and connected, and how we are all part of something greater than ourselves. With her I learned to connect with the world in a way that I never knew was possible. Jaluma was not just my teacher, but my best friend, and even though its been years since I last saw her, I always feel her presence with me.
Clover was just a pup when I discovered her, but even then I could see the potential she had, curious and bright. As she grew up, she proved me right. She was always eager to learn and constantly sought out new knowledge to improve her abilities. Even when faced with difficult challenges, she never faltered. I couldn't have chosen anyone better.
I don't think I interacted much with Zuri when I was little, but her cubs were born not long after I finished my training with Lilly, and I'll always rember the love and devotion she had for them and everyone else in the Pride.
Watching Clover grow up, I was constantly impressed by her abilities. I can only hope that her and Storm are happy and at peace, wherever they may be.
I truly miss her. She would always be there for me when I needed her, always ready to provide comfort and support. I will forever be grateful for the lessons she taught me, and for all the love and care she gave.
I couldn't be more proud of her. I know that many lives have been saved because of her selflessness and I have no doubt that she will continue to make a positive impact on the world around her. I am honoured to be her mother.
