She smiled faintly when her eyes found the sapphire gaze of Cairo. Her own eyes held the weight of age, the knowledge that she was old now, and her years were drawing to a close. She?d be with him and her birth pack eternally soon. But not yet. Valhalla was in danger, and she wasn?t about to rest when they would need her skills and knowledge. He spoke, and she drank in his voice, like a wolf dying of thirst. It?d been so long since she had heard him speak. ?I?m so proud of Chrysanthe? She?s just like you, an echo in the bone and flesh... I just wish she could see that truth.? Her head turned, cradling Cairo?s head against her neck, chocolate fur melding with snowy white. There were no inhibitions here, only a timeless relaxation. Rather like her meditations, but on a deeper level. Her tongue slid free, caressing his muzzle lightly. A simple gesture of affection, but it spoke of so much more. Erani was more open around Cairo, in life and here in dreams, than she had ever been with anyone else, save perhaps Nova. The glancing sadness as the black behemoth that was her mate crossed her mind was brushed away, the pain of abandonment going with it as she took in Cairo?s next words. ?I will cherish them.? The scene around them changed as her sleeping mind slid from one memory to another. A sun-washed meadow she?d encountered a while before coming to Valhalla, then called Starlite. During the time she had been feeding from a kill she?d made, she had taken this meadow as a small home. Crisp and cold smells changed to warm spring, filled with delicate scents of flowers and sunlight. ?So soon, Surreal will be two? Cormalin?s thinking of stepping down then and lifting Surreal into his place as Beta?? A small, proud smile crossed her muzzle. ?She?ll be a great one.? Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Hear" ---- Think |
