"They would continue searching for Opal, hoping to find her safe. But, after a month passed they were left to assume that she was no longer with them. Amethyst and Kindrake were hit hard with the loss of one of their first cubs, but they eventually moved on as their two remaining cubs needed them and they couldn't do so if they continued to grieve and linger on the fact that Opal was gone. Even though they pressed forward, they knew they'd always have a hole in their hearts from the loss of Opal.

Kindrake eventually forgave Van, and even though it was very sad, the loss of Opal did in fact bring the family closer together. Van still felt guilty for Amethyst's pain. Even though he felt that nothing could ever fix the damage that had been done, he accepted Kindrake into the family as Amethyst's husband, giving them his blessing to get married. In a show of forgiveness and a final step in becoming part of their family, Kindrake took on Amethyst's last name. Kindrake didn't want to have any evidence of his parents and he didn't want to remind the Ferons who his parents were. So, Kindrake was from then on known as Kindrake Feron.

Opal was believe to be dead, but what they didn't know was that she was very much alive! Snaric kept her alive and was raising her... though... his methods of raising her were beyond cruel.

Opal, now able to walk, talk, hear, and see, was feeling rather hungry. It had been a long while since the last time Snaric fed her. She crawled out of the den, shaking the dirt from her fur before sniffing the air. She could smell food! Her mouth watered and she looked around to see that Snaric was sitting down with a Zebra flank right in front of him. She bounded over, about to chow down on the flank when SMACK. She was thwacked by Snaric's paw and sent tumbled to the ground with a startled squeak.

"What do you think you're doing?" Snaric snarled at her. Opal slowly stood back up and shook her head before looking at him with her ears drooped. "...I'm hungwy!" She whined. Snaric growled some before using his tail to drop a bone with a few bites of meat on it in front of her. "Here." He growled.

Opal frowned, looking at it before practically inhaling what little meat the bone had to offer. It definitely didn't fill her, but it was enough to keep her alive for the most part. "I still hungwy Daddy." She whined, looking at him. Snaric suddenly snarled at her, causing her to back up. "I'm not your father." He snarled. Opal shrunk back, confused. "...Who my pawents?" She asked.

"Dead. Your family is dead." Snaric said, smirking some at Opal's sad and confused expression. "I saved you when you were just a newborn, so be grateful to me. If you're still hungry, go hunt for more food you greedy little brat." He hissed. Opal shrunk back, hurt, before going to do what he said and find some more food on her own. "
