Erani held Epiphron close, letting her lean on her, hearing the whispered words Epiphron said. ?He was the strongest wolf I know.? She touched her tongue to the young female?s fur, blinking back her own tears. She blinked again at Epiphron?s next words. She shook her head. ?He?s not gone. He?s in your heart, in mine, in Chrysanthe?s. So long as he?s there, he?ll never be gone.? Her voice cracked slightly, but her words were firm. As Epiphron pulled back, Erani gave her a nuzzle, nodding in response to her thanks. ?Chrysanthe went to tell Syrinx and Eos.? Her throat felt thick and croaky, and her heart felt heavy. Yet she felt a little better after telling Epiphron. ?I spoke to your father the day before he died. He told me so much. So much that I didn?t know? That if I had known maybe?? Would Epiphron and her siblings have been her own children, if she had known so long ago what Cairo had told her just days ago? |
