When Silence Takes Over

*Pandora*

The Spirits had been calling to her. Their voices getting louder with each passing day. The whispers slowly increased in volume. Increased in the number of voices she heard. From the voices of unknown children to elders. They were calling. Little did she know her time on this plane was nearing an end. The Battle hardened Priestess had been so, so tired with each passing day. All the fights she had fought. All the places she had been. The wolves she had met over the course of her life. She had no biological children of her own. But there was one she had adopted a long time ago. He had gone on his own at some point, and she hadn't seen him since. For all she knew, he could be dead...or perhaps quite the opposite, leading others into greatness. She hadn't thought about him in a long time, not until his face appeared behind closed eyes when she laid down to sleep for the final time. Everything she had seen. Everyone she had met. Past battles, the rare friendships, the things she had learned and taught. It all flashed across her mind. She thought that perhaps it was all in her dreams. Until her final thought passed, and everything just...stopped.

She laid down to sleep. Ready to take on the day when she awoke. But she wouldn't. Even the trills of alarm from her dearest companion couldn't wake her. But it wasn't long before the elderly owl realized that she would never wake again. His alarm slowly ceased to soft trills as he shuffled over to her, lying against the bodice of his dearest companion. He would give her comfort and companionship during her last moments. And when she took her last breath, he too, would go quiet. The pair had been together a long, long time. He'd been holding on for her. And now, they went together in peace. The voices, too, would quickly fall silent as they welcomed their new comrades.
