Fight To Keep It Down

He lost track of Duchess and he’d given nearly the most difficult goodbye he’d ever said to three wolves he knew that he had loved. Aslatiel fulfilled him, but he couldn’t help but feel like he losing something very special. Life changed drastically for him and Indigo still didn’t feel like he had yet found his paws. Asla helped, but even she couldn’t sew up the holes in tears still remaining in the fabric of his being. She couldn’t reverse the losses he suffered.

He woke up a little late and Aslatiel was already gone, likely out with her close adult children. Indigo could hardly believe how fast they grew up, and though he hated to admit it seeing them made his heart ache. He decided to take a walk, letting his dark massive paws carry him where they wished, and he regretted that decision when he found the sight of the falls before him. This would forever be a dark place for Indigo.

The man paused when he realized where he was, he lowered his head and grit his teeth. A deep and heavy sigh fall from his lips from his deep chest, pain laced through his veins. This was his greatest hurt. Knowing he should have been raising three beautiful little puppies… He nearly cried out as the injustice of it all overwhelmed him, but he realized he was not so alone. Somehow he’d shown up here at the same time that Duchess had.

Slowly he walked up towards the unmarked graves where Duch lay against the grown. His face contorted as he tried to hold the emotions back. Indigo stood silently, unable to keep tears from streaming down his cheeks as his soft blue eyes fell on the three small graves.
