Just One Last Time

The chaos of the flooding finally subsided, but the female's legs had not stopped shaking beneath her. She felt listless after all of the swimming, but the woman would force herself through it. It had taken little time for her to see that Aislyn had passed, surely her mate had made the same realization. It broke her heart to see that Liberty was not ready to let go, but there was little anyone could do. Her head would drop, and she would stand before the two, looking anywhere but at Aislyn. Perhaps it was out of a few moments of denial, but it was mainly because of the pain. It hurt to see her mentor with no life in her, only a body was left, no spirit or soul, nothing.
Aislyn was gone.
"I can call for the others." The ivory dame had loved this pack, she deserved to have them there to see her be buried. She was always supportive of Chrysanthe herself, and she struggled to swallow as she realized that never would she feel the woman's comforting presence again. Friction and Aislyn were currently experiencing something similar, but no doubt, it hurt them more than it did their alpha. Aislyn was a lover, a friend, a mother, to the two and unlike Chrysanthe, who had a pack to be strong for and a family that stretched over much of Alacritia... they only had each other to lean on.
With that in mind she would tilt her head back and call for the pack, because they had her too. Friction, she did not know very well, but Liberty was the daughter of her greatest teacher, and she would do whatever she could for the little dame because of that. This was more of a mourning than a meeting, and was for anyone that knew or respected Valhalla's beta, and even for those that did not know her personally and were strong enough to see her off. The call was strong, but undoubtedly sad.
Afterward she would force herself to stand beside the young female that had just lost her mother. She was curled beside Aislyn, and Chrysanthe would, for the first time since her arrival, actually look at the beta. It was then that she would whisper - whisper for the spirit's ears only. "You will be missed, and forever loved. Thank you for teaching me, and for supporting me. It meant more than I ever got the chance to show you."
"Liberty." She would then speak louder, her words for the girl. She was so sorry, that she hadn't been able to save her mother - but those words were her own personal doubts, and would not be given to the mourning child. "You are not alone." The alpha would tell her, with as much strength and commitment that she could put into words. With that, she would press against her, attempting to 'hug' the young lupine to show exactly what she meant. Chrysanthe would support her not only as an alpha, but as whatever she wanted and needed with the loss of her mother.
Once Friction started digging, Chrysanthe would leave the girl's side in order to help him. He would not dig that deep hole on his own, he would have her help at the very least - and perhaps others that responded to the call and he allowed to assist.
