Loneliness Lingers

The sun beat down heavily upon the male's body as sweat beat against his warm face, however, the fur would only hide the sweat as his pink tongue would loll out of his mouth. Rovi could not see a damn thing after trying to help his mate and pups, and this is what led to his blindness. A sigh would escape his paw now as he trudged on effortlessly through the land. He would move his paws carefully, making sure each step he took did not lead to his own demise as the scent of the sand and warmth lingered throughout his nostrils. His obsidian colored pelt did nothing to help the heat that coursed through his form, only seeming to make him overheat as his head began to spin, showing obvious signs of being over-heated. Though he could not see the dizziness, he could sure feel it for he had not had some water to drink for some time, and his body was craving it more and more each time he took a step.

However, before it seemed he could continue any further, he would collapse and breathe heavily. Each time he tried to stand, it almost seemed like his body would not respond to his commands before he would become unconscious. He did miss his mate and pups, and would continue to shed a few tears from his one good eye for he had thought about them before he had come unconscious.
