Verdigris Ravine Ghost

Wrapping!

Candle tried; she tried to speak, but there was so little left in her to give. That she still drew breath at all was a miracle. The darkness took her, then, and later she would remember nothing of this encounter. She wouldn't remember S'ari tending to her, Zoug helping in his quiet way. She wouldn't remember being moved.

But when she woke, she knew who had saved her life. Those same beloved faces which had given her a life to save in the first place. Candle had been nothing before them.

In the coming days, her world would dwindle to a spotlight centered on S'ari and Zoug.
