Dragoncrest Cliffs This place of loss

Shit, they looked terrible. As Shadess and Sobeille engaged in quiet conversation, Yura took it upon herself to eye the growing, gaunt crowd with an expression of pity. She recognised Lafayette from the seal hunt, and could have sworn she was seeing double had the twins not sat near enough to one another to see the stark difference in stature.

All their elders were gone. The moongirl felt her eyes widen in surprise that something like this could happen. Her thoughts strayed to Moonglow, to Kukutux and Aiolos. She knew they were not eternal, that one day their spirits would be called to the dancing lights and yet she could not imagine the village without them. 

Once upon a time, she had yearned to take their place. Now, she saw apprehension in Shadess' gaze and thought the task insurmountably difficult. 

But it must happen for the future of Sapphique. For the babes they'd worked so hard to save. Yura was apart of their destiny now and selfishly pressed her pelt against her friend in quiet support. Sobeille was most deserving of leadership, in her eyes.
