Stavanger Bay Heavy Hearts

Thistle walked back to the pack lands, her heart somewhere in her throat. She told Gunnar to stay with his three brothers, and his sister and she continued on. She stood looking out over the land, she had lay claim to with her husband. The land that she had lain with, birthed and loved on. Now, she wasn't sure if it was worth it, for she was all alone. Steeling her backbone, she let out a song. A sad song, a song of lost, but also a song with an undercurrent of revelation, of joy. For they would celebrate her mates life, they would celebrate all he had given them, but they would have their seven days to grieve.

She called out to @Aesop and @Charon , to @Levi and @Atreyu , then her song reached out to @Lyric and though her 4 little babies could not join them in this, and Gunnar could not either as he watched them. Her song reached out to @Ragna @Jorunn @Floki and @Kaylan . She lowered her muzzle and she stood with tears sliding down her muzzle, and blue eyes full of unshed water. This was not how this was supposed to go.
