I Remember

Mortis settled himself with his head on her paws and the warrior's hard heart melted ever so slightly. Black backed ears perked and she looked down at him with that lone eye. The plethora of emotions ran over his face. Who could blame him? With such a betrayal at so young an age, he was bound to be lost and confused by it.

Mort said that Azure wanted to help him fly. He asked if she had seen his face. "I did not see his face before, but I saw it after. That's why I thrust him over the edge of the cliff. He needed to know fear as well. The same fear of falling that you felt." Resin's way of thinking was a hard way. There wasn't room for much emotion, but she did her best to convey her thoughts in a manner that the boy might understand.

"What's done is done. You were pushed and injured. Your brother is the one that pushed you." That singular yellow eye bore down into the pups lashed, blue orbs. "What you do now is what will make you or break you. Will you lay down and accept that he is dominant? Or will you rise up, make yourself stronger, and show him his place?" There was something about this boy... She wanted to keep him close. His spirit spoke to hers. She waited for his answer.
