Lady of the Lake

Kass was lost - figuratively, not literally, as he had grown up in the eastern lands and was certainly no stranger to them - was he wandered through the warming spring. He should have returned to Yfir territories long since... but instead he'd come here. To visit his brother's grave... perhaps also in the hopes that his sister would seek him out after all. She had not - but still he had remained here, trapped between what had been and what could be. He had taken over an old den that some Ebony wolf had once lived in, far enough away from the lake that the extra volume of water had not disturbed it, and spent his days doing... nothing. Walking. Sitting by the barrows Katja had erected. Going to the lake to stare down into the water. He was at the lake now. Rommel was not with him, the tall fox off hunting, and Reme was curled in a bed of moss and feathers in the den to stay dry and warm. He was contemplating the thought of being unnecessary. Except for Katja, he was tied to no one in this life. His brother dead, his sisters all vanished... Val had always been a wanderer, but losing Sindri so soon after he had gotten her and Sigmarr back... so soon after he'd lost Sigmarr... and now learning that Svetlana so thoroughly wanted nothing to do with him that she'd not only joined a different pack, but never once made the effort to tell him she was still alive. His family wanted nothing to do with him. Why would they? He had gotten Sigmarr killed. He had not been able to keep their family pack alive. He had been the one to have ended generations of tradition so thoroughly that Ebony would never be coming back. If he walked into the water right now and just sank beneath the surface forever, no one would notice. No one would care. His tongue snaked out to touch his lips nervously. No, he wasn't genuinely considering doing such a thing. Not after what he had already put his sisters through in their lives. It would be so easy... and so, so very selfish. No... his punishment was hope. To wait, always, hoping. |
