without you

Their time together was bittersweet. Each step that Aslatiel took was one step closer to the time that they would have to part. Being together these past few weeks had been absolutely perfect. She felt whole when she was with Indigo. She understood why her grandmother was moving the pack but gods did she curse her for it. Her massive plum colored sibling helped to pull the sleigh and Asla kept pace beside him. More than once she considered just going with him. Joining The Hallows and being done with the Armada. Ah, but she'd made a promise to support Azure and Mortis as well. She couldn't just abandon them. No, she had to return. There were too many things left unfinished in the Armada. She had things to look forward to, however. Big things. Once the pack settled down for their final night together, Asla stood off to the side in the snow, watching the scene unfold. The wolves settled down for the night in two's and threes, sharing warmth and huddling close against the cold. She could feel the chill of winter creep up under her fur. The journey back alone was going to be a cold, lonely one. For now though, she tried not to think about it. Suddenly, Indigo was there. He wrapped his big body around her, burying his face in her fur. She embraced him in return, pressing her cheek against his soft purple coat. "Let's get away from eyes and ears. If this is to be our final goodbye, there are things that I need to say." And do, but she left that part out. He would learn soon enough. "Aslatiel"
