Gedanken an Damals
From the son's point of view
Preface: Here is the tiny continuation of the story ^^.
From the son's point of view:
Now I have chased away the hunter and his followers, I see my mother lying here locking herself off from me. But she didn't expect that I would find her, I didn't wait idly in our home, I missed her and so I looked for my mother. Horror was reflected in my face when I saw what the hunter was up to and chased him away. I walk slowly to her, press her head down, she shouldn't exhaust herself. We'll manage it, I tell her, but she hardly seems to be there. Still, I keep talking in the hope that she hears me and towards the end, I think I know that she has understood me. Even when I shake my head, she starts talking. I listen to her well, as I like to do. But what she says makes me sad, I said that she will make it, she is strong and yet she says something like that. I feel anger at how much I curse the hunter who did this.Why did he do this, why couldn't he stay where he belonged, why did he disturb our lives, why did he take the most important things in the world from me. And then I prick up my ears again, she would like to make a request. I wait patiently for her to continue talking, for her to express her request, but she seems to need longer. Curiosity torments me.
And then she closes her eyes, I see how her breath dries up, how her chest sinks and no longer rises, and then I feel that she has passed away. I want to scream, want to tell her not to go, to make her request, but I'm old enough to know that it won't work. Again I nestle my head against her, want to feel her warmth, but I only feel the lifeless body that once belonged to my mother.
I quietly stand upright, as it is befitting a prince, put on a carefree expression that looks thoughtful, but inside me it looks different.I am angry, sad and disappointed at the same time. I will never forget it, I will never be able to stop thinking about it.
I am sure that I will never see a female deer again, but my future should be different. I found a nice lady, she was wonderful and I will stay with her, as I did with my mother and we had a daughter. A small female fawn that had wonderful eyes, a fur that was so hazel brown that you shuddered when you saw it. And it had my mother's name.
Epilogue: The beginning is better than the end .. somehow xD.
