Herbalists' Cache sweet smoke

powerplay approved

sun eater rallied, struggling through another hour. the bright glinting of the death spirit hung in his single eye. roused by the herbs which ishmira had administered in haste, retreating once more to where he did not know, nor see.

he spoke in sharadoii.

"@Meleeys. she lives still. they will come. they will come." a hard swallow bobbed his throat. "they will believe my children their own."

another harsh straining sound in his throat. "do not let it happen." he did not know star eater had gone to the glacier, nor that she intended to ally in full with her kith. but he knew in some way that she had not come. he had not wished for her to see him.

but now as the darkness pressed its advantage, sun eater wanted her, saw his wife's absence as a curse lodged against his soul. 

he stared at his sister, trying to keep from fear. "nagruk is tartok, not lanzadoii. strong. has her own wants. but it was what i must do."

he began to slip then, grabbing for her paw as though he were a small boy again and she the sibling he had always known. "fa'liya. ghe'naya. caan. c'e'de. they are your blood."

he began to fade again, back to the line of sleep and unconsciousness.
