Turning Tables

Arian couldn't believe this was happening. Her light crystal blue eyes filled with the fear she felt. As her mother dying gave a kind smile to the wolf who had confronted them. Epiphron the one that they had been searching, might as well been the childs salvation. Jaile shook her head for a few moment through her jagged breathing. "Epiphron of Seracia. I am Jaile, a crippled loner who was mated to Natsu Tokoto. This is Arian, his daughter. You see a male by the name of Oddity came and murdered Natsu.....and since I cannot feed myself I am on my last ropes. Natsu spoke about you with bright eyes whenever we asked. My other two children have already starved to death and now I know my time is quickly nearing. I please, ask of you to take Arian and raise her as your own. I know it is a lot to ask for. But I don't know what to do anymore. She seems almost exactly like her father, and those kind of qualities are hard to find these days. One life cannot amount to another. Consider this my last request. Please allow my and Natsu's daughter to live a full life." These words were rushed, and spread out. Arian could feel herself tearing up as Jaile turned towards her and smiled. The small pup shivered and lowered her head, she had to watch both her parents die now? One be torn apart by a black male, and the other to starve to death because the one she depended on was gone. Her siblings had starved, and her family had fallen apart. She didn't know what she was supposed to do. "Arian, remember what your father told you. And remember no matter how sad you get when you think of us. Think of how now you are the one who can carry our souls through the world. Be strong and faithful and don't let the words of those downing wolves get to you. I love you my daughter. I am glad I met you and Natsu. It made my life worthwhile." Jaile smiled and turned her head to Epiphron. She gave another smile before taking in her last breath when her heart finally gave out. She lied there unmoved. Arian pulled herself closer to her mother.
"No mom this isn't fair. Everyone is gone, brother, sister, dad. You can't go too. It's not fair." Arian knew the world wasn't fair. It didn't keep her from feeling this way though. As she cried sniffling and burying her head in Jaile's brownish fur much like her own. Arian turned to Epiphron and desperately looked her over for some kind of help with the situation. "Epiphron......what am I supposed to do now?" She asked. A young child didn't know everything about the world. Even if she was smart enough to know what it was about. There were things she had yet to learn, to hunt, to feel winter, all those things. Arian stood on her four little paws, her black tipped tail swinging back and forth.
