Redhawk Caldera sundown over ghost town

Sebastian walked with her in silence, his mind throbbing with hope that it wasn't Tiger that he would find. The male was a bit startled when her shoulder bumped into his. Although soon afterwards he gave her a grateful smile. His face quickly turned saddened. His pale eyes focussed on moving forward. The male inhaled sharply when he saw the upturned earth before him. He helped the female with digging, careful not to damage the body that would soon be revealed. A pluck of white fur made his heart jerk. He continued, realizing he had been digging close to her head. Once the body was freed he dragged her out with his strength by her scruff.

The moment he got a glimpse of her full and lifeless body, he let her go and looked away. What was probably the worst was her empty golden eyes. Sebastian let himself fall on his butt, slowly letting his eyes roam over her body. He hadn't even gotten the chance to say goodbye to her. "It's her," he whispered, which the girl probably had noticed by his body language. He swallowed thickly swallowing his tears away. He didn't want to cry in front of Nochtli. Sebastian then pushed himself back to his feet and nosed over her. No wounds indeed.

He then sniffled at the muzzle which give him a hint of what might have happened. His ears fell to the side like a kicked puppy, it only felt so much more real now. "Life is so unfair," he then whispered. "You were right, she doesn't have any wounds. By the looks of it she might have been poisoned. I am not sure since I only started recently with herbs and plants. It could also have been a heart attack maybe," he spoke, trying to even his voice.
