Iktome Plains saltmouth

grief was a stage in which teya had stalled for years. 
reyes had broken her heart.
she had failed sorana.
reyes had died before they could speak again.
sorana had never recovered.
bronco had loved her with a healing light, and just when she was beginning to breathe again, that glow had been taken from him. 
her tears were silent. teya had navigated between the three sister packs to come alone onto the plains, for she had no words for a soul. she was so tired of being locked into this eternal battle of sorrow, with no respite and no reprieve and for what felt like the fourth year.
teya did not even beg for happiness, not any longer, just a break. just peace. just a lull in this constant anguish.
