A Final Farewell (Spirit Sighting)

(( Sib and Rayne Continued from here: https://incendio.rpg-board.net/t150p15-goodbye-blitzen-continued-from-pack-split-thread#2588 ))

The silence of the trip seemed to make it only take longer, both Sibirskiy and Rayne silent as they walked. There wasn't much to say, and both were bad at conversation anyhow, so silence was sorta forced in the situation. It was a relief though, being away from the burial, away from all the sorrow and sadness that filled all the wolves around it. Sib's head rose a bit as he looked around, the two finally walking into the meadow. With a soft sigh he sat down, looking over at Rayne, "Well... we're here." He said softly, though, it was mean't more as a 'what now?', but he didn't want to seem pushy. His eyes wandered around them. It was calm here... being here almost made it seem nothing had happened at all... a nice escape.

She let out a soft sigh as the reached the meadow, here eye;s instantly looking all around, what Khalessi had said ringing in her ears. She had to know, had to know if Blitz was really here... if it was true. She was a bit disappointed though, not seeing him anywhere... did that wolf really lie to her like that? She sat silently, ignoring what Sib said for a moment, looking out in the distance. It couldn't be a lie, someone would lie like that... not about this.. "Just a while longer... I just want to stay here a little longer." She whispered softly, looking down towards the ground. She had to be sure he really wasn't here...

As the siblings entered the meadow and sat down, a thick mist slowly began to line the ground in the area until the grass could barely be seen. The air temperature seemed to drop slightly as a cool breeze blew at them both, clearing the mist slightly so that it was thinner and the grass could be seen only slightly now. The sky was now clear, a bright moon shining down on the meadow and making the mist shimmer mysteriously as a soft humming echoed around them. Just as Rayne spoke, the wind grew stronger until it suddenly ceased, leaving the meadow completely silent and still.

Then, from the trees across from the two wolves, a figure stepped out of the shadows. It was a large wolf, and as it stepped into the moonlight, the enormous white form of the recently deceased alpha came to a stop, watching his mate and her brother silently. Blitz watched the pair, although unseen to them, his eyes also caught the sight of the form of a large female spirit in the trees nearby, watching the interactions closely, waiting to cease his contact with the two as soon as something happened that was not allowed. But his eyes were now fixed on his mate, a sadness mixed with love shone from them as he watched her, longing to be with her again.

Rayne looked back up at Blitz again as he started to speak, not saying anything else to Sib at all, luckily. "I love you too Blitz... and you know I always will... there won't be a day in our pups life that they won't hear about you, about how much you care for then and how your watching over then even then. Blitz... I... I'll never stop missing you, ever. It comforting knowing you'll be watching over us though... and that make it easier." She said, licking him again, though, she noticed how he seemed to be fading, whining softly. Already he had to leave? Such a short time... why... why couldn't he stay longer... "Blitz... " she whined softly, trying to nuzzle him again, but only to find her head going through air. He as gone... just like that he was gone... again she watched him go. This time was different though... she got her goodbye... she would still have to deal with never having to see him... and even after this it was still hard to bear the thought. She sighed softly, standing, her legs shaking a bit, her nerves were shot, but she managed to walk anyway, stepping further and further from where he had just been. He would still be here... watching over her, watching over everyone. She let herself smile a little, even now he cared for all of them, and the thought of that made her a little happier. Once she got a bit away she found Sib sitting, waiting, and before she could say anything he just gave a grin that basically mean't 'don't say a word', and she didn't. He'd figure it out... he had to, Blitz knew what he was talking about... he had faith in Sib, and so did she. The rest of the walk back to the burial site was silent, and after a bit she was leaning on her brother, her legs getting weak under her, having to carry the weight of the pups this far was a bit harder then she noticed.
