Hey, everyone! Ta-Ni here, bringing you a really quick epilogue to An Ema to Remember. It's a little short, because I wanted to wrap things up. Enjoy!
A few moons pass, and I lay in my new den out in the forest outside Inaba. I can feel my new kits squirming in my belly; they are close to their time, which is why I'm here. It pained me to leave the shrine unguarded, but even a small town like Inaba is no place to raise newborn kits, so a short time ago, I retreated to the forest to raise them in peace.
A few days after the group left me with my two kits, the detective Dojima and his daughter Nanako came around the shrine. She wished desperately for her 'Big Bro and friend' to return, but I watched from the shelter of my den. I knew her wish would go unfulfilled; probably one of the few that will, unfortunately. It hurt to see her so distraught, but I couldn't reveal myself to them regardless.
I am knocked from my musings by an intense pressure in my belly, and realize they want to come out NOW. Bearing with the pain, I manage to push the two kits out of my womb and into the real world. They are both male, as expected, but it was their coats that surprised me. One had a slightly silver pelt, while the other was a blondish color. Even in their new life, I think, they retain parts of their old ones. I smile and nuzzle them as they begin whining for food, pulling them close to the teats on my stomach.
Whether they remember anything of their past life, I don't know. However, I will cherish every moment with them, and hold on to the memories I have of them from then and now.
And that's the end of An Ema to Remember! I hope you enjoyed this little head-canon I came up with. Be sure to check out my other stories, as well as the Eon Village Forum, for more from me!
Please read and review, and may your Ember never fade!
