Look How Far We've Come

The pure emotion on Gwyn's face brought the faintest of smiles lifting the corners of the scarred woman's maw. She never doubted that Gwyn loved her, even when the girl had shrunk from her in fear when she was ill and barricaded in the dungeon. She hoped that her children didn't doubt her love for them in turn. She was proud of them all, for the most part. Some were more put together than others, but she wanted to believe that they'd all turn out well in the end.

Something on the table behind Gwyn caught her attention. A rather large wolf skull with serrated teeth, cleaned and gleaming. A sad little smile pulled at the woman's features and her brows drew together. They'd gotten him. Gotten him before he'd gotten them. It was good... but it still pained Resin that it had come to such an end. In a way, Oxx had been a monster of her own creation. Both she and the dead brutes father had set his course in life. It was a regret that she would always carry.

A familiar tingle was creeping up the specters spine. It was as though she was being disintegrated particle by particle. It was time to go. Resin brought her gaze to Gwyn's face, trying to memorize the features. "Be strong, Gwyn. Take care of them so they don't end up like..." Again her gaze flitted to the skull on the desk. Oxx hadn't had the same love and support system that Gwyn and her siblings had. If they stayed together, stayed close, perhaps they would all turn out well.

She was fading, her incorporeal form became thinner and thinner, the last visible remnant being that glowing eye. She didn't know when she would see her daughter again, but Resin firmly believed that they would all join her on the mountain some day. Perhaps Oxx was there waiting for her even now.
