? POV:

"Try and catch me, Daddy!"

I playfully run towards my son, playing chase. I get behind him and I pick him up, laughing and talking mighty and large, "Haha! The prey has been caught!"

He begins to pout at me,

"Cmon Daddy, I wasn't ready!"

I tilt my head at him, "Son, you must know that when it's not me, you must be ready for everything and anything."

"Okay Daddy, I'll try harder next time."

"Remember son, even if you do get caught, you must try to fight back".

He began to whines at me, "But Daddy, I don't like fighting, it just doesn't feel right"

I started to get a bit frustrated, seeing that we're gonna have to talk about this again.

"Son, how many times do I have to tell you? You won't survive unless you fight back. It's the only way!".

My son's ears fold back, looking startled when I rose my voice at him. He then looked down, it was obvious he felt powerless against me. I set him down, looking at him with all seriousness. "

What's wrong, my son?"

He didn't make eye contact with me as he answered,

"I can never win against anyone, so why should I even try?"

I was shocked, hearing the words coming out of my son's mouth, "Son, I want you to listen to me very closely."

He looked up at me, tilting his head with curiosity,

"The reason I tell you these things is that I love you. You're my son and I want you to be safe."

His eyes started to twinkle with awe against the light of the suns,

"No matter what, you must never give up. If you do, you will lose, and you will die."

The wind blows through the forest and against our fur. After a brief moment, he opened his mouth and began to speak,

"Okay Daddy, I won't give up. Not ever."

I began to smile at him as he does the same to me. I picked up my son, putting him on my shoulders, and began to walk with my son on top of me,

"Hey, Daddy?"

I tilted my head towards him,

"Yes, son?"

"We're pals right?"

I chuckle at his question,

"Of course"

He began to speak again, "And we will always be together, right?"

I sighed, seeing that it's time to give him a talk.

"Son, let me tell you something my father told me: Look at the stars, each one of those stars is our ancestors. So, when my time comes, just remember that I shall become one with the universe, and I will always be with you, even after death."

My son looked puzzled but yet, he seemed to understand what I was saying. He smiled at me and I smiled back as we continued through the forest.
