Welcome to Gaia! ::

Times were tough - not because of food, droughts or otherwise, this was a personal matter. Throek`irid was given the darkest news he could have received, his mate would die. She'd had her last bout of curiosity and would not be coming back from this. With a heavy heart he began to round up their children - this would be their final goodbye.

"Onik Zuul." Alduin said as he entered the space, the air surrounding the small group that had already gathered was as heavy as their hearts. The Jun, who had known the lioness fairly well, knew of her curiosity and would have been sad to say that this came as little surprise. It was still incredibly sad to see a creature, whom had been so lively look so frail. "I'm so sorry." He offered his condolences to the orange male in passing, already the lioness appeared dead save a breath or two which appeared to be painful at best.

Jua was in a corner, he'd begun to frequent the space which contained his mother and thus he'd brought some items to make his time there a little more comfortable. It was a mere two days that had passed since the beginning of this little horror story and he was sufficiently exhausted by the whole ordeal - the small area he had claimed contained a leather spread which suggested that he'd even slept there. For the time being he was awake, though barely and appeared weak - the poison still wreaking havoc on his insides.

Thalea wasn't sure how to feel, her heart was breaking into a million pieces and her soul was crying out in ways she never knew was possible. How could this have happened? Why couldn't something have been done?

She was angry, angry that the God's felt the need to snuff her life from this world, that they felt like her presence was no longer necessary.

"Can she hear us?" It was a general question, not to anyone in particular, she just wanted to know if her mother would hear her if she spoke to her and she felt her throat begin to choke up as tears welled in her eyes.
