I hear the chimes

The autmn had rolled in so easily. Vereux felt old, and tired as it was. Finding a nice place to curl up in the pines was hard for someone like him. Especially now that he couldn't see. The world was dark and his last eye that had been taken from him ached. Crusted over, perhaps the male just hadn't cared enough to even treat the wound. As he carefully walked with his paws to guide him. Listening to the wind blow through the tree's of the place he'd lived almost all of his life in. Making him stop when he felt the edge of a tree. Perking his head for a single moment as he tried to drag in another breath but was met with sharp pain. He'd just take a small nap - after all he promised charm they'd go out to hunt herb again later.

Tired he would circle a few times before curling his body around itself. Shaking for a single moment as he could feel his breath heat up the cool air of the north. Having no sight never bothered him, then again at the moment it almost felt like nothing bothered him. He was alone after all. Not in a sense that anyone wold believe but for a long time it felt like his heart just didn't belong. As Vereux's ears flicked he wheezed softly. No matter, he would go talk with charm later - and perhaps they could take okami with them. Hell if Enlil wanted to join them the more the merrier.

He closed his eyes - at least the blind eyes that he had since the other was sewn shut from the blood and pain. The male soon drifted off to sleep, were his lungs started to cease. Sputtering breaths left his maw, until finally his heart stopped beating for the last time. The male's body frozen there as he took in his final breaths from the sickness taking him away. The promises he made didn't matter much now. As Vereux would no longer be a part of this world.
