Stone Circle Time to say goodbye

Sunny had heard the howl while he was napping, but he woke up immediately. The pure sadness and heartbreak of the cry made his heartbeat quicken and he stood up making his way to the area quickly. His view of the body was blocked by the others so he pushed forward past everyone until he could see and immediately wished he hadn't.


He stared at the body that lay so still, his mind blank as he struggled to comprehend what he was seeing. He knew steady had been ill but he hadn't a clue just how badly. This body..surely it wasn't? Sunny wasn't as close to steady as everyone here but his memories of his uncle were good ones, even great ones. 


He took in a deep breath and sat down, his eyes moistening and lips trembling as he dared to look over at Valette abd Nikai. What he saw made his chest hurt, and he looked away ducking his head and staring at the ground. He sat like this for a few long moments before standing and hesitantly approaching steady's body, his form held low to the ground and tail tucked. Once he reached Steady he lowered his nose and touched it to the soft fur and hekd it there. "I'm sorry we left...I'm sorry..." He whispered in a broken tone before lifting his muzzle once more.


He gave one last look and then turned away retreating to a short distance away, wishing he could forget this and only keep the good memories of the lively and warm,fun loving uncle who he had loved as family.
