Moonspear moonlight outshines the brightest stars

I apologize for posting out of order but I wanted to toss this in here to give the thread a bit of a twist! Please note that there's no way to see or reach the body, as she fell down the mountain's butt crack. ;)

There were many watchful eyes on Galaxy's back and a time or two, she felt the gentle nudge of a muzzle as someone redirected her away from a precipice. The puppy didn't bother looking at her saviors; she was enchanted by the fireballs streaming down from the dark sky. She gasped when a particularly bright meteor streaked by directly overhead, leaving a glowing trail behind it which slowly faded into the black.

She did pull her attention earthward just long enough to search for her sister. Where was Vela? She was always so enamored with the night sky. Surely she must be loving this! Galaxy wanted to see Vela's reaction. She slung her belly to the ground to peer between the forest of legs. She thought she saw her older sister's familiar gray shadow on the other side of the group and went scrambling in that direction with another cry of, "Vela!"

And suddenly there was nothing but open air beneath her feet. Galaxy didn't even have time to cry out as she went tumbling into the night, her body hitting the hard slope with a muffled thump! and then sliding further down the steep grade. Even as stars continued falling from the sky, she tumbled down the mountainside. She began to yelp as she gained momentum and her flailing limbs smacked repeatedly into the hard ground. Then she was totally airborne again, free-falling straight into a deep crevice.

She felt like she was falling forever. When she landed, she gave a loud, "OOF!" and that was all.

The pack continued to keep a silent and mournful vigil well into the night, Scion's body at the center of their circle. As the night deepened, the stars began to fall as if the sky itself wept over the young wolf's death. Tacoma bit back his hundredth sob as he slowly lifted his tearful face toward the meteor shower. Perhaps Scion's soul was in one of those marvelous stars soaring across the sky...

When he glanced down a moment later, his eyes fell once more to his brother's broken body. He felt the miserable weight of guilt on his young shoulders. He seemed to crumble beneath it, at last, sliding forward with a quiet cry, one of his forepaws reaching out to bump gently against his dead brother's.

Tacoma suddenly gasped, drawing everyone's eyes back to the heart of the circle just in time to see—

Scion open his eyes.
