He didn't want to open his eyes. The koi marked wolf's whole body ached and part of him wished that he had been consumed by the lava instead od beinf made to.retuen to the cruel waking world. His pale white fur was turned black and gray from soot marks and his new wounds were red and fleshy, pulsing with pain as if the skin was still held to flame. Hika didn't even have the strength to whimper as he suffered silently at the opening of the crypt. After all of that he had finally made it out, but at what cost?
He was alone now, Mortis had never come tomrescue him, pain was his only companion as he writhed upon the stone floor. That part of him that so desperately wanted to.give up slowly winning the war against his higher conscious. Which was only just hanging on to reality as his mind swam and raced to process what he had been throug, and what he would have to go through from now on. Maybe it was time to give up.

Nirvana had taken to a new place, a strange location that delved beneath the earth. The last time she had been here had been in passing, but under the cover of night the albino dame had returned. The spring sunlight was much too harsh for her eyes, but she greatly enjoyed the pleasant nights and the feel of the breeze across her coat. In darkness she thrived, unafraid and facing whatever may come her way. But as she descended into the cold darkness of that crypt, nothing would prepare her what she would encounter
Damp and musky, the smell of decay and mold invaded her nose. Nirvana wrinkled it in response but it would take much more for the woman to be detoured from this place. A ruin like this was a gravesite for many, and perhaps hidden valuables would lie undiscovered. Her cape brushes against a wall, collecting dust and cobwebs within it. Great, it would take a lot of preening to get the feathers back to what they should be.
Room after room is passed, her sense of time slipping away. How many minutes had gone? Or was it hours now? As she rounds another corner her nostrils flare at a new scent. Blood. The smell of singed fur and flesh. Nirvana draws closer, and she can hear the breaths of the injured. The wolf is still alive.
“Hey,” Nirvana calls to him as she gets to his side. “I’m going to help you. Just hang on, alright?” Was he still conscious?

Bittersweet that he had finally made it out of the crypt after so long only to believe that he was truly facing the end. There was no light at the end of the tunnel just a train come to finish him off. He was skinny and useless, not even wanted by the one he loved. He had been lost for too long to be worth coming back for. A lost cause that had only wasted time and effort. He should have died in that snow storm all those years ago. He and Mortis both would have been much better off.
A groan left him as he wondered how long death would take to fully succumb. Surely if he lay here wounded for lonf enough some large predator would find him and finish the job. That was about all he was good for now anyway, a meal.for something much stronger than himself. Luckily or unluckily for himself, another of his kind would be the first to find him.
Hikaru heard the pawsteps before her voice aimed to catch his attention and the man reluctantly blinked open his coal lined eyes to find her towering ivory frame pad up to him. He moaned softly, trying to warn her away but the words would not form upon his pale lips. He was at her mercy whatever she decided to do with him.

Their eyes met for a long moment, both of them debating the ethicacy of his continued existence. She was a powerful wolf towering above him, and had she the desire, could have easily ended him in that moment. Hikaru couldn't know her thoughts though, even if they were so similar to his own. He hadn't left the world yet, it would be a shame to take him out of his own volition when his heart still beat with strength in his chest. However broken it might be along with his spirit. He had never been one to truly give up no matter the circumstances.
He wasn't certain he could speak even as she made her decision and began to move upon it. Removing her cape with one fluid motion before she finally spoke. She intended to cart him away from this place. Where and how long the trip would be Hika couldn't begin to guess. Had he had his wits about him he would have rralized tbe paxk scent on her, but as he was the man remained clueless.
He made no protest as the woman easily scruffed him and shifted him over to the soft feather cape. A soft whine fell from his pale lips, one of gratitude and not of pain as she made him as comfortable as possible. A feat he would have considered impossible himself.
