Dead And Gone



"I don't think I can do this."

"Try closing your eyes."

"...Why?"

"You'll be alright."

Dead And Gone
Finally, the battle ends. The struggle between life and death has been difficult, but it is finally over. You smile faintly, looking at those around you.

It's going to be alright, even if things have changed.

You're rather tired after fighting, but you make an effort to stay awake, to stay with everyone else. There are still things to do, those to mourn.

Mostly, you'd like to get rid of the blood soaking your fur.

But it's alright, and that's the important part.

You're still very tired.

The others around you try to give you healing herbs, but you refuse them. You don't need them, and they should be given to the ones who need them.

Slowly, you close your eyes.
