He wasn’t going to follow after her, but as Eris made her way from the den with their tiny pup Ballad appeared at the den. She took over looking after Casper, insisting he go to make sure the pup was given to both Tor and Fenris. By the time he reached her the ground was broken their child covered by Eris’s soft paws. Oxide felt a pang in his heart that he couldn’t be there for her when she needed him most. Not when she’d been captured and not when she needed to bury their child.
He paced up to her quietly, making it just in time to catch her as she fell to the ground, not strong enough to stand any longer. He held her loosely as she called out to Tor, and he joined her song. Their souls sang in sorrow together. She might not believe he helped her create their tiny son but Oxide felt the loss keenly. He loved the little boy and mourned that his life was whisked away. His song intertwined with Eris’s melody and the sound of their grief filled the quiet of the cold night.
