Lay Me Down

Erani

Splash! The sound of something hitting the water made Erani?s head lift from the powerful smelling Yarrow she was gathering. It obliterated any other smells at this proximity, Yarrow, and so she hadn?t scented any passing by of others. She turned and loped down a path by the river, ears perked, eyes searching. At last, she came upon the large young male from Valhalla, Fenrir, his paws pressing at the chest of a female that smelled heavily of Seracia, recent illness, and water. The female was drenched. Was that the cause of the splash she?d heard. Her eyes rose to seek out any dangers, before she hurried forward.

?Fenrir. Find a slope and put her on it head downward. Gravity will bring the water out. Here. This will do.? She nodded quickly to a slope a bit away. She nosed into the female, sniffing. Listening. There wasn?t a breath to be heard. Not a heartbeat. She waited until he had the female positioned and spoke then. ?Now, do as you were, but vigorously. We need to stimulate her heart. She?s still warm under the chill of the water, there may still be time. Time. Such a tiny window of it. She bent and nudged the female?s head back, and began licking her throat. Too young to die.

?Now Listen to me, stranger, you will not die. Not on my watch. Now you get that heart beating, milady, and breathe!? The words were uttered in a low whisper toward the female?s ear. One would say that perhaps it was a bit pointless, talking to a dead wolf, ordering the dead to wake and Live. Perhaps not. The firm licking was moving toward the female?s brisket, a trail of dryer fur left in her tongue?s wake. She wasn?t going to give up this battle. Not yet.

Death, I don't care who you are. You will not take this one yet. Let Luna's Light be on her.
