My heart races with excitement as the time for mating season approaches. The primal instincts within me stir, urging me to seek out a strong partner to bear my children. It is a crucial period for us Beasts, where we must ensure the continuation of our lineage and pass on our strength to the next generation.
I find myself feeling more flirtatious than usual, my usual stoic demeanor giving way to playful banter and coy smiles. It's strange how this time of year can bring about such a change in me, but I embrace it wholeheartedly. After all, finding a suitable mate is essential not only for my own sake but also for the future of Doldia Village.
As I go about my daily tasks, thoughts inevitably drift towards my stomach - once defined by hard abs from years of training and battles now slowly becoming rounder and plumper with each passing day. Despite knowing that carrying a child will soften my appearance, I feel no shame in it. On the contrary, there is pride in knowing that soon I will bring new life into this world; little ones who will one day grow up to be as fierce and determined as their mother.
The villagers have noticed the changes in me - some whisper behind closed doors while others offer words of support and encouragement. Their reactions do not bother me; their opinions hold little weight when compared to what lies ahead for me as a mother-to-be.
In these moments of quiet reflection, surrounded by nature's beauty under the moonlit sky or during those rare peaceful evenings spent alone at home before retiring to bed...I cannot help but feel grateful for everything that has led me here today: every battle fought bravely alongside fellow warriors; every hardship endured without complaint; every joy shared with loved ones despite adversity lurking around corners unseen...
And so it begins – another chapter unfolding before us all – filled with uncertainty yet brimming with hopefulness too!
