This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.

Lament collapsed slowly on the sand by the beach. His home and cave only a few strides behind him, but it might as well have been oceans away for all the strength he had left in his body. The very effort of breathing cost him in strength he did not have. It rattled in his chest, wheezing and gasping with each inhale and exhale. His body was a forest where fungus played and danced, overtaking his once rich and vibrant hues. The weight of the fungus across his body was more than he could bear, and as his head lay slowly across his arms, he knew he would not have the strength to rise again. He did not have an ounce of strength left in his wasted body. The sickness had overpowered him. Brutal, and absolute. Another rattling breath shuddered through his body, and then his chest fell still, his body silent. There across the lonely beach, a hundred miles from home, far from all he had loved, and who had loved him. The Ademre would never again go home, or see the sword tree of his birthplace. His Caracal laid a paw across the silent wolf's cheek, and tossed back his head and made a deep cawing cry. - Exit via death - |
