Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eudeyrn squinted against the sunlight as he pulled himself from the den. He wasn't sure what time of day it was, later that he had hoped at least. His fever had been spiking recently, addling his mind and ruining what coherent thoughts remained in the interim. He wondered if this was how his little sister had felt, before it had taken her.

His mind had increasingly wandered to those he had lost. At times it almost felt he could hear there voices. He wished it were true, nut he know it was just hallucination. He hadn't had the heart to tell Haruma. She worried so dearly about him. It was for her that he held on. He was ready to meet his gods, though he was uncertain what he would say. A plea for his family that remained, perhaps. Five children, all persistent and full of wit. Haruma's doing, surely.

"Eh?" His eyes lifted, his vision following on a short delay. The world was hazy, but began to clear as he focused in on her face. "Haruma," he repeated, "I do, she's the better half of my life." To say so was an understatement, he was sure. Haruma was his reason to keep going, when everything looked abysmal.

"I take it from your coat you're kin." It wasn't a far stretch. There weren't too many in the pride who weren't somehow related, and their colors were a little uncommon. "Her sister, maybe." He remembered hearing stories about her, some time. He couldn't be sure if it had been days, months, or years since.
