Dragoncrest Cliffs On pathway to the stars

when eadwulf's voice rose, erzulie started from where she had been sleeping among her four. 
dread curled in her belly; the obsidian did not want to go to the sounder of the knell, but shook herself free all the same. she called for clementine and arcelia again, dazed by how much the first girl had grown, until she was child no longer.
erzulie stumbled along the coastline in the direction of the man's call, swallowing gravely. a great sense of dread gripped her, along with the instinctual knowledge that she should not be so far from her cubs right now.
but go she did, finding her step as a horrible realization washed over her.
merlin, washed against the stones after the sea had taken his breath.
tears stung her eyes, and she went to him at once, moving dreamfully beyond eadwulf to nose through the sodden scarlet fur.
"we should move him."
the words caught in her throat.
rosencrantz. kaertok. raleska. merlin.
another grave for their growing yard.
